#1 Well, non-moderate clerics probably recommend that everyone who secretly mourns Taseer should be killed.

#2 Those would be the less moderate clerics.

The "even somewhat less moderate than them" clerics would want to behead his entire family.

#4 Darn another mistake by me.

The word "MUSLIM" in the heading should have been "MUSLIMS"

#5 The scholars praised the "courage" and religious zeal of the killer, saying his action had made Muslims around the world proud.

Whoa...that's painting all of Islam with a pretty boad brush there. Muslim groups around the world, like CAIR, should be complaining about such loose language anytime soon now.

#6 Wikipedia also defines the Barlevi movement, of which the JAS scholars are, as moderate, because they adhere to traditional Sunni Islam with all the accretions that have occurred in the Indian subcontinent over the centuries. This is compared to the radical Deobandis, who like the Salafis demand a return to the pure Islam of the early days.

#8 This guy must be moderate in the sense that he only targets specific individuals, whereas someone like bin Laden does mass killings of random strangers.

#9 The solution in Pakistan, requires a scorched earth war conducted by the overwhelming Punjabi-Sindi majority, against the northern arab wannabes. The status quo measures couldn't solve the problem in 10,000 years. Still US Presidents continue to seek islamonazi participation in pseudo democratic processes. The American President should be picked at random out of a national phone registry.
