A conference via Skype is a good idea or on some useful absurdities of "moderate Islam"

Although it was just Michel, who suggested a sort of informal conference to discuss some points , I think that anyone participating on this forum - especially people I appreciate and whose views I fully share - might find it an interesting idea as well . I did contact Michel on Skype and we came to some conclusions.

We are both kaffirs and I am whole-heartedly in favour of kaffir solidarity and understanding. My views on Islam have not been refuted or dramatically changed. But I realised that I should support internal divisions , sects and internal fighting within Islam. The absurd idea of "moderate Islam" might serve as a means to produce one more -even a minor - fitnah among the Moslems. In this sense I see this (illogical) idea as something quite positive and it objectively should by all means be enhanced and augmented. Give them some stuff to quarrel and cut their throats about ! Don't allow them to form a unified front against us.

Impossible and absurd as I still find the notion of "moderate Islam" I may agree to attribute some value to it as long as it is thought and used as a tool to weaken and split the ummah, divert the hatred of Allah's slaves from the kaffirs to other Moslems.

Besides , I might be prone to see 'moderate Islam' as a pre-stage to apostasy. It's hard from them perhaps to just leave Islam in one go. So what about a two-go option ? First a mythical - they love fairy-tales so much after all - 'moderacy' and then apostasy ? This might be facilitated by the reluctancy and rejection and hatred generated against them by un-moderate Moslems. Surely, there is a danger that instead of choosing apostasy they'll come back to their pre-moderate Islam where soberly speaking they all belong . But on a tactical level dividing them by admitting one more sect among so many seems to be a useful strategem, doesn't it ?

Sure , I am.

Frankly , I am most sympathetic to anything that might harm Islam .
