The Myth of the Moderate Muslim?

Why is anyone?

Because of the increase in Islam discussions around this forum recently, I'm starting to get the idea that you guys believe moderate muslims to act like moderate christians, who actually borders on cultural christians. My idea of moderate muslims still adhere strongly to the qur'an or their interpretation of the qur'an, it's cultural muslims who do not adhere that closely (maybe they believe gay isn't a sin) but still follow the rituals. Moderate ones do not break the law for religious reasons, fundamentalists/extremists do. In other words, my idea of moderate muslims (who are the majority in the muslims I know) are equivalent to your idea of a bible thumper but not the crazy christian who tried to kill abortion doctors. Cultural muslims are rather rare in comparison, but are growing in secular countries as they get more affected by secular ideologies.

I suppose your right. And here I was trying to have a little faith in humanity. Thats out again.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
