One thing I would emphasize in the linked ABC Australia link, post #14, is the point Ayaan Hirsi Ali makes about “Moderate Moslems” in the context of Islam itself.

It is well worth truly understanding & noting that point, including the history of the “Moslem Reformists” she mentions.

There are “No Moderate Moslems” in the context of Islam itself. Shi’ite or Sunni. But particularly, the Sunnis, Wahhabis, Salafis. Not because the latter are more “radical”, but because Political and “Spiritual” Islam are inseparable, and have always been.
