PC: Do you believe that “moderate” Muslims do exist and that their voices are religiously sophisticated and can either reason with or compel Islamists to reform Islam?

ND: The term “moderate Muslim” was created in the West. In the Muslim world there is nothing called moderate or radical Muslims or moderate or radical mosques. You are either a Muslim or not. For the term “moderate” Muslim to be legitimate, we must have something called “moderate Islam” vs. “Islam.” What the West terms as Moderate Muslims are the good and peace loving Muslims who are not necessarily taking their religion very seriously and many of whom have never read a Sharia book. So what the West calls moderate Muslims have people who have lost the battle against the radicals in the Middle East. The radicals are terrorizing and controlling the Arab street and also Arab leaders who must conform to Sharia if they want to survive in office. Just remember, Sadat and the Shah of Iran were considered infidels and that is why one was killed and the other pushed out of office by an Islamic revolution. Muslims who stand against offensive jihad, anti-Semitism or Sharia’s brutal laws, he or she will be labeled an apostate. That is why the voices of the so called moderate Muslims are not heard and are not a strong force for change and for the reform of Islam. Many so called moderate Muslims discovered that in the long run it is best to follow the saying “if you cannot beat them, join them.”
