Moderate Muslims

perhaps, but no moderate Islam. It is simply denial of the overwhelming body of evidence, the pattern and practice of Islam since its founding just does not support the idea of Islam as an ideological construct, nor as a religion promotes tolerence or peaceful integration in societies. Quite the contrary, Islam imposes itself through violence and intimidation, it is the very nature of the ideology as reflected in the historical record. The Islamic ideology is founded on violence.
