They are something like liberal &#8220;Christians&#8221;.  Don&#8217;t expect moderate  Muslims to take a stand against Muslims who use violence. They cannot  oppose them, they have no scriptural foundation to stand on. They might  not believe in violence as the means to the end or they might not want  to do any violence themselves but they do believe in the same end and  they are not going to take a stand against those working toward that  end. <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>They often fear what the  radicals might bring on their own heads but that is not the same as  opposing their actions. <\/strong><strong>Since moderates will not use violence  to bring about what they believe they are certainly not going to use any  violence to oppose those that are doing what their scriptures teaches. <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>The only  truly moderate Muslims identified as Muslims are not Muslims at all,  anymore than a &#8220;Christian&#8221; who does not believe teachings in biblical  scriptures is a Christian. These moderates are those who grew up in  Islam but who have not totally embraced it. These pick and choose from  the Quran  or pretty much ignore the Quran. Don&#8217;t expect much more than lip  service from them unless they can be guaranteed earthy security. They  know if they oppose the radical teachings of Islam they will be killed.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>If we do not  understand that Islam teaches conquest by force and total submission to  Shariah law and that we must oppose it with truth and justice we are  just whistling past the graveyard. Yes, justice means using military  force when necessary.<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Islam is a fascist cult  more dangerous than the cult of Hitler or Stalin and as those cults led  to hot and cold wars so certainly will Islam.<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_0\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">WorldNetDaily<\/span>: Moderate Muslims: Afraid and irrelevant<br \/>\nSo here is the thing. I have also met a handful of perfectly civil Muslims. They are happy to live in the West. They have familiarized themselves with all the <span id=\"SPELLING_ERROR_1\" class=\"blsp-spelling-error\">accoutrements<\/span> of our society. They look the part and they speak the language. Some of them even practice law and have run for political office.<br \/>\nBut these same people have told me in very plain terms:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suicide bombers are not terrorists, but martyrs for Allah;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nEveryone in the world should submit to Shariah law;<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nIsrael has no right to exist; and <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>America has been a force of evil in the Islamic world.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>None of these individuals would support the use of violence on a personal level \u2013 they said it is &#8220;not within them&#8221; to be violent (reassuring, no?).
