Like I said earlier, when I say "good Muslim" I just mean a good person to our 21st century standards. This does not need to be explained or analyzed. Someone who doesn't go around killing people and forcing others to believe what they believe... or someone who supports either of those acts.

Do you think for a moment I would trust scumbags like Huckabee and Carson? Pat Robertson? Billy Graham and his pissant son? No. Given a chance to exert political power these fuckers would be the American Taliban.
When you look for "people" to change it isn't the shepherd who will do the changing. They always want to be in charge. No. The sheep need to change. Actually the sheep need to say "go fuck yourself, Huckabee, we don't care about your fucking fairy tales.
The handful of muslims who have reached that point are either a) in the west or b) in hiding in their own countries.
