"But what about the moderates?"

[RobbyPants]

Sorry "coexist" liberals but the "moderate" loses, hands down, no contest.

Yes and no. You'd be surprised what that amount of cognitive dissonance and sufficiently vague claims can do.

Put bluntly, the "coexist" liberal is also enabling the fundamentalist and all their abuses, from acts of violence to intrusive legislation to cruel traditions such as genital mutilations. All of these things are possible only by magical thinking and credence to beliefs about sky daddies. It seems an odd form of "progressive" thinking to not oppose repressive ideologies.

I do agree here. People, religious or not, need to do more to stand up to fundamentalism. I always get the feeling that they're worried that any attack on fundamentalism will be a slippery slope to an attack on moderate faiths. This leads them to knee-jerk in the opposite direction to "protect all religions" out of a perceived threat and self preservation. So, they'll denounce the fundies for "not doing it right", but they never put any teeth on harmful beliefs until they go straight to murder.
