Most Muslims will agree there is no such thing as moderate Islam & to believe so would be believing in an "invention," therefore, this is Haram. Anyways if you subscribe to the PC Lexicon, we are in agreement that it's an extremists' world, and the moderates just live in it...Still waiting for that Million Muslim March on DC burning effigies of Bin Laden and Zawahiri...God Bless US all
