Now, how did it come to this. Its too big of a movement to credit Krazy Pam and her bigot blog brigade.

I’d imagine that Palin, Gingrich, and many others helped considerably.

And while the Moderate Muslims would make sure to issue statements that distanced themselves from the radicals and the Islamist agenda, they always seemed to do it tactfully with just the right juxtaposition of words so as to not become targets themselves by speaking out too harshly against the jihadis out for their evil.

I read somewhere that Imam Rauf, when an interviewer demanded that he denounce Hamas, demurred saying that since his job pretty much involves building bridges between Islam and the West, it wouldn’t do him much good to lambaste one side on behalf of the other. I imagine a lot of moderate Muslims are in a similar position.
