"But what about the moderates?"

[Thumpalumpacus]

If moderation and religion don't play well together, can you explain why some quite religious countries have low levels of religious violence?

What are some of these countries?

America was the first country in my mind with that comment. We have about 70% Christians in this country. If moderation and religion don't "play well together", then we should expect to see levels of religious violence that are newsworthy.

But unlike India or Iraq, our levels of religious violence are quite low.

Turkey is 99% Muslim, about 75% Sunni and 24% Shia, yet has remarkably low levels of religious violence, too.

Using violence as the metric for extremism, it doesn't seem that moderation is much of a problem for some countries.

I think it's important to note that the two countries I've mentioned here have a history and tradition of secular governance.

The majority has already exterminated the minority?

Just a guess.

See above. Next?

Also, I notice that you've no reply to my earlier points, about your moving goalposts and general bias.

Somehow, I'm entirely unsurprised.
