It is extremely difficult to differentiate between a 'moderate' and an islamist because they speak the same language, have identical beliefs and identical agenda. A 'moderate' muslim does things smart way -- diplomatically; an islamist runs to the gun immediately. There is no such animal as a 'moderate' muslim.
