Khaled Abou El Fadl most likely represents the mindset of most Muslims. The culture of Islam is to support and protect other muslims in any interaction with Non-Muslims. Moderate Islam is a deception played out to further the cause of Islam. When Islam becomes the dominant civilization, the fundamentalists will be the controllers, because they are the ones who are willing to Kill or die for Islam. The West is blind to this deception and, I predict, will not wake up in time to avert Muslim dominance.
