What is a Moderate Muslim; Is there a Moderate Islam? First, there is no such thing as moderate Islam. That is a construct of western society - wishful thinking. Such version of Islam is denied by the great majority of Islamic leaders in the world, and contradicted by Islamic scripture. What is a moderate Muslim, really? How moderate are they? For the most part we consider a Muslim to be moderate when he does not overtly condone, advocate, or participate in violent Jihadi acts. In other words he is moderate. We also need to be aware that a certain percentage of Muslims are nominal Muslims, not fully knowledgable about their faith; not fully practicing their faith. It has been demonstrated that the more devout the Muslim becomes, the more he learns about the Islamic ideology, the more dedicated and committed he becomes to the teaching of the Koran, the Hadith, and demands of historical Islam. The more devout may be labeled an Islamist: One who believes and practices the historic teachings of the Islamic ideology. And those teachings are certainly not moderate. The term is used to distinguish an active or devout Muslims from an inactive or less devout Muslims, or from those who are perceived to be moderate Muslims. However, there is a strong argument for considering all these various terms - Islamist, Islamism, Moderate Muslim - all pointless. Islam is Islam and there are no place for the term called Moderate Islam or Muslim in the Koran nor Bukhari. No such thing as moderate Islam Koran does in fact contain hundreds of verses that serve as the basis for their fascist tendencies, their supremacist self-image, their intolerance, and the basis for terrorist acts. Now look at ISIS, Hamas, Talibans, Al-Qaeda, Al-Sabab, Boko-Haram etc..they are Jihadi and true Muslims. They are doing exactly what their so-called prophet them to do. Therefore, a moderate could be difined as a Muslim who specifically disbelieves, discounts, or ignores these signficant and widespread teachings throughout the Koran. But how many Muslims have really done that? How can we know? We cant. But remember when Muslims are weak they says Islam a religion of peace but when strong then you will see the true meaning of Islam is submission to the commandments of Koran what Mohammad prescribed for them. Muslims have a well-deserved reputation of being Islamic, especially when they express or demonstrate their belief in most or all of the Koran. Islam leads the pack of world religions by a huge margin in the number of acts of violence. Then, why would a truly moderate Muslim wish to remain associated with this type of ideology unless they truly believed in all of it? Unfortunately, the concept of moderate Muslim becomes an oxymoron. PM Erdogan OF TURKEY, said this: One cannot be a secularist and a Muslim at the same time. The Muslim world is waiting for Turkish people to rise up. The mosques are our barracks, the domes our helmets, the minarets our bayonets, and the faithful our soldiers...this holy army guards my religion. Regarding democracy, he said: You ride it until you arrive at your destination, then you step off. And finally: There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam and thats that.
