The problem is that there is no such thing as a "moderate" Muslim.
After 9/11, I was hoping that the world wouldn't blame ALL Muslims for terrorism. I have since changed my mind.
I've been reading a LOT about Islam lately and it scares me shitless!! True, the majority of Muslims don't ACTIVELY advocate terrorism. But they won't try to stop it either! The goal of Islam is to make it THE world religion, by ANY means possible. The ends ALWAYS justify the means. Muslims aren't satisfied with freedom of religion; they WILL be the ONLY religion at ALL COSTS!
In America, our hands are tied because we are tolerant of ALL religions, as we should be. The Muslims are using this against us and are worming their way into EVERY society on Earth.
I know that I sound like Hitler and this scares me. But how do we stop Islam from violently overthrowing ALL the world's religions AND lifestyles?

Maybe moderate Muslims aren't considered very good Muslims?

I hope freedom of religion will be the very thing that prevents any kind of violent takeovers; Islam is given equal rights, but in places like the U.S. and Canada it'll be tough for any aggressive Muslims to gain EXTRA rights as they have in other countries.

The sad part is that moderate Muslims don't agree with terrorism, but they won't do anything to stop it either.

I don't think they NEED extra rights. They already outnumber us.
