Yeah, but in the brains instead of brawns sense. Alienating the moderates, as it happens right now, is exactly the wrong way. We share indeed a common enemy, and we share it with the majority of muslims - for different reasons. But just remember, that the majority of people, Isil kills and displaces, are muslims not agreeing with their stone age ideology.
I know.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
