re: #465 Sharmuta

I really don’t care how a person worships whatever deity they wish to subscribe to so long as they’re not involved with harming others. When a religion starts infringing on the rights of others, in this country, we’re going to have issues.

As for the extremists and moderates in islam… the moderates need to speak up. I think it’s difficult enough for them with the islamists calling them apostates worthy of death and so-called anti-jihadists calling them apostates too.

Moderate Muslims are at a significant disadvantage vis a vis the extremists, who by their very nature are more volatile.
The extremists are awash in money, including Saudi, so they can take over a Mosque.
Add to that a big safety issue, moderates are not likely to do violence to an extremist , but the inverse is not true.
