Moderate Islam? Yes, but, wouldn't those who perhaps qualify to be described this way be those who favour the methodology described in your article of Nov 24? I recently enjoyed teaching English to a group of charming and 'moderate' (opposed to terrorism) Indonesian Muslim 18 year olds; some of them had no interest in either Islam or politics - the two seem to go together - but those that did informed me that it was the Jews who were responsible for 9/11, and with difficulty was I able to get them to so much as question this.
