#1 Holding two equally stupid concepts at once. The hallmark of a made muzzieman.

#2 Being moderate means you don't pick sides. Being moderate means you shut up and watch who's going to come out on top. Being moderate means you think its safer to keep a low profile. Being moderate means you accomodate whomever you belive is the greater threat to your existance at the moment. Being moderate means you'll move on if things get too sticky where you're at. The Jews practiced this in Europe for hundreds of years, until the environment changed in the 1930s. And they didn't have agents acting in their name in general society out killing citizens of every country.

#3 "And if they say they do it in the name of Islam, they are not Islamic; or, most likely, this shows, like the television says, that someone uses the name of Islam just to hide the real perpetrators."

In other words, it's the jooooooos.

I don't believe there is a "moderate" muslim group. I think all those "quiet" muslims aren't quiet and angry with the terrorists. They are quiet and secretly proud of the fact that muslims (finally) are shaking up the world.

The very notion of a "moderate" muslim community is a fabrication of the west, based on our values, norms and worldviews. In other words, we're projecting ourselves onto muslims...what WE would do in such instances. The west did it for years with palis. We've heard people say "Why else would someone blow themself up, unless their condition was intolerable!" But this argument falls way short when you look at the 9/11 3/11 7/7 etc bombers. They weren't "desparate" with "no more options."

So, I am coming to the conclusion that such a group -- moderate muslims -- does not, in reality, exist.

I think there is an ANGRY muslim group, though. These are people affected by terror, directly, as those in sharm, etc. But they don't blame their religion for it. They deflect, rationalize...anything but self-reflect.

#4 Holding two wildly divergent, simultaneous thoughts on the same subject is a hallmark of the Arab mind.

I once had a well-off (had to be in order to escape to Oman) and quite intelligent Kuwaiti refugee tell me the Palestinians in Kuwait were collaborating with the Iraqi invaders, but were getting paid by the Zionists.

#5 Look at it this way, the terrorists are raising the level of the gene pool by killing their fellow muslims. Would that they could kill them all and make our targeting so much easier.
