"Moderate Islam"

Reader comment on item: Responding to Joshua Muravchik about "Moderate Islamists"

Submitted by Gail Mitchell (United States), May 4, 2008 at 14:03

I've been thinking about the "moderate" term too for a long time feeling it did not adequately describe what we are all trying to express. I've come up with some alternatives for consideration:

. Modern Islam (kinda like Modern Orthodox Jews)

. Post Medieval Islam

. Contemporary Islam

. I don't want to kill everyone not exactly like me or dominate the world Islam

. Beyond the Burkha Islam

. Post Dark Ages Islam

Thanks!
