Moderate Islam is an oxymoron

Reader comment on item: [The Search for Moderate Islam:] A Reply to Lawrence Auster

Submitted by Hari Iyer (United States), Jan 28, 2005 at 22:47

Moderate Islam is practised by those who do not live by the tenets of Islam. In that sense, the civilized world has to be happy that a significant majority of Muslims are not practising muslims in a true sense and they are moderate.

Islam is best when it is least practised. It is a brutal religion aiming for a brutal outcome, brutal practices for its adherents. This Islamic belief system which calls itself a religion is aiming for retrogressive, regressive measures to take its belief system backwards when other religions tend to be dynamic, progressive.

How can you explain the daily statements from Islamic tyrants demanding its adherents not to vote in Iraqi election and promising to chop of people's heads and their children's heads if they dare to cast their ballot.?

This religion needs a Tsunami 'paradigm' shift.
