Freedom of Religion ... unless that is; you are a Muslim.

[DuncanONeil]

Those words bear repeating:



It does, however, call for a certain amount of bravery for moderates to step forward and stand out against the fanatics: sometimes an extraordinary amount of bravery. They risk public notice - which many silent moderates want to avoid, or it sometimes means being ostracised by the community you belong to. And, of course, where fanatics are involved, it sometimes means risking life or limb. It's understandable why moderates are frequently conspicuous by their absence, but that's not to justify their reluctance to stand up for their beliefs in the face of their "co-religionists".

I have actually seen some, I guess they qualify, moderate Muslims speaking out - mostly about the NYC mosque - But strangely they were all from Canada!
