Moderate Islam?

Front Page Magazine has two articles, one replying to the other (what, do they think they are a blog or something?) on the subject of ‘moderate Islam’.

The first is Stephen Schwartz, with What Defines Moderate Islam? and Thomas Haidon replies with Schwartz Mistaken on “Moderate Islam”. Both are worth a read. Please note that both are Muslims.

You might also note that whatever either says about ‘moderate Islam’, that both are moderate Muslims. Moderate Islam may or may not exist, but moderate Muslims do exist.

My thanks to Lewis Collard for including a post of mine in an “Odds and sods round-up” that led me to this discussion.

    Moderate muslims are still shackled to immoderate islam….and when the bill collector comes calling, what happens? Do they then still have a choice of idealization since all things run by authorization for them?

    Their grandmas must’ve been virgins! Their warning surely came from an inferior os….the same where gases get released.
