I don't blame moderates for what extremists do. I do however dislike the fact that they perpetuate oral myths about the magical truth of horrendous texts. It creates all sorts of problems. But ultimately, each person's actions are their own, and the judgement lies with them alone, in my opinion. Coercion can of be course be a mitigating factor.
I also have a problem with indoctrinating other vulnerable people with those same myths. Especially children.
However, I wouldn't take any action or treat anyone differently; I only try to promote reasonable discussion and clear thought. I'm not going to stand by and say these things are fine when they are not, but neither am I going to go round enforcing it and hassling people. If no one points these things out, then they will never change.
I'm anti-harm, whatever form that harm takes.
