Why "Moderate Muslims" Are Not The Answer
George Whale has posted 10 reasons at LibertyGB, but here are a few excerpts:
1. Moderate Muslims have a worrying capacity to produce terrorist offspring
Hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza's father was an Egyptian army officer - middle class and thoroughly respectable.Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the notorious 'underpants bomber', comes from a wealthy Nigerian family. His father, Umaru Mutallab is (according to The Guardian) "one of the country's most respected businessmen."
Omar Hammami left his home in Alabama, USA, to become a leader of the Islamist terror organisation al Shabaab. His father, a retired civil engineer, said, "I tried my best, and so did my wife, to raise him the best we could."
Hasib Hussain's quiet, hard-working parents were "devastated" to learn that their son was the bus bomber who killed 13 people in London on 7th July 2005.
2. Muslim moderates are terrified of Muslim extremists
The implicit, ever-present threat of ostracism or violence keeps quiet Muslims in line - which means that the radicals usually get their way. As John Hawkins notes: "Imagine how ... terrifying it must be to condemn Jihadists when you may semi-regularly run into people who think that way in your neighborhood or mosque."
3. Moderates can turn into extremists
Even Muslims who appear at ease in western society can flip.In the 1980's Andy Choudary was a party animal who lived for sex and booze. He turned into Anjem Choudary, rabble-rousing hate preacher and co-founder of poppy-burning Islamist group al Muhajiroun.
As a teenager in Leeds, Mohammad Sidique Khan was to all appearances fully westernised, even to the extent of calling himself 'Sid'. In July 2005, 30-year-old Sid took a rucksack full of explosives to London and detonated it on a Tube train, killing 7 innocent people.
Sid's fellow 7/7 terrorist Shehzad Tanweer was described by neighbours as a "nice lad" who could "get on with anyone". He murdered 7 others.

The problem is that anytime a Moderate Muslim group starts to speak up they get fucked by the "West".
The most recent example was Egypt.
