A bad start for a book supposed to be good.
Reader comment on item: Challenging the Islamists: The "Other Muslims" Demand Their Say

A secular Muslim is an oxymoron by definition. That's a very bad start for any book. A moderate Muslim sounds much more palatable but that does not change the teachings of Quran. Someone please point me to a majority Muslim nation where competing worldvies and lifestyles are being welcomed and protected by Muslims. Any takers? That historical and contemporary record is very clear: When they can, they will impose Sharia to everyone.
There are only two kinds of Muslims: those who obey and those who reject the teachings of Quran. Many of these Muslim "moderates" will either become radicalized themselves or their children will provide a breeding ground for recruiting. If the radical Muslim start the jihad, the moderate Muslims will comply immediately like everywhere else. Where are the moderate Muslims in any of the Islamic majoritary nations? What kind of democratic rights have they secured for the non-Muslims? Because they are self-proclaimed Muslim moderates, how can anyone know whether they are telling the truth or simply pursuing a long term strategy such as the one based on repopulating Eurabia and Arabimerica in few generations by having lots of children with different women while the host nation will be paying for it?
I wonder why I am not terribly relieved with the moderate Muslims. If they don't agree with the Quran, they should no longer call themselves Muslims at all.
