AND.....
The fact this dude, and other “moderates” should be fighting those within their own mosque and muslim community in the US instead of ramming his rant at us who they target. They will not do this because they want the US to provide financial protection and funding. Ha! Nothing like feeding both ends at once.
Look..every nation or culture of people had to fight and loose some of their own blood for reformations of their faith or to protect it...what makes “moderates” think it's not going to cost them some skin for freeing their religion.
Freedom from bondage to a totalitarian ideology will always cost...”moderates” are not exempt just because they have escaped to the comforts and freedoms the US affords them. If they truly want their “religion” to change..it must come from within it...not on the back of the US citizens.
When the “moderates” begin to face off the muslims demonstrating on the streets, and speaking out in their own mosques THEN I might reconsider the fear I have for what is swarming our country. Until then their words are nothing but air blowing in the wind.
Being that he wants to dictate what is on the media, I find it hard to believe that he is a “moderate”. Like you said, he wants to silence people like us, but says nothing to the Muslims that admit that they want Islam to dominate us.
