As a muslim, you also seem to think that majority of your community has the same centrist attitude like you do. Oh how I wish it was true, but unfortunately what we see is otherwise. Even if I would like to think you are a "moderate" in true sense, your religious views are in direct confrontation with the constitution of the country you reside in and thereby you are not abiding by either one of them.
