On what basis do you you claim that a moderate muslim is different than an Islamic militant that simply hasn't picked up a gun yet? On what bit of islamic theology does your assessment stand?
This is why I hate people not taking into account issue of time in history. Yes Islam is the biggest trouble maker at this current point in human history. But all religions are volcanos and always have been. Some are currently more active while others are more dormant.
Religion as a concept is poison because it is our species flawed perceptions and turns our natural behavior into a comic book. That gap filling is good for protecting the group in numbers, but it ends up setting the believer as the top of the social order at the expense of outsiders. It is our species anthropomorphism of our own desires to have control over our environment and defending ourselves from threats.
