Naomi, There are no Moderate Muslims, Its like looking for a moderate Nazi or a moderate member of the KKK.

I agree, except non religious Muslims, much like people whose religion is Catholic but do not follow it. They get their religion from their parents so they are assoiciated with that religion.

I think the best best are Non Mulim Arabs or Non Religious Muslims, much like non religious Christians or Jews who see people not like them as going to hell.

======Islam demands of its believers to accept that Mohamed was the last prophet sent by an unseen God and the quran as the literal word of this God (Allah). One has to believe absolutely, unconditionally (no if's and but's), all that is in the quran, the hadiths and siras as absolute truths. If a Muslim does not do so, he is considered an Apostate, for which the penalty is death. Period.
==========

I agree.
