Fatah and Hassan-Shahid won't stop speaking out but they are frustrated with the lack of public debate and the inability to air their views without the threat of violence. Just in case anyone out there wonders why there aren't more moderate Muslims.

Who's to say that things like this aren't set up by the muslims in order to draw attention to themselves?

It's hard to be openly moderate when someone may saw the head of your child off.
There was the case in Tulsa a while back where the muslim was tossed out of his mosque for writing an editorial suggesting that muslims need to step up and help America fight terrorism.

Poor bastards get it from all sides. The Islamists want to take off their heads, and the Islamophobe bigots brand them as unpersons ("there ain't no sucha thing as a moderate Mooselimb").
Worst of all the MSM almost completely ignores them. They only seem to want the Muslims from "central casting," i.e. fake moderates or open Islamists.
The latter is the most infuriating, and probably the most damaging. What are ordinary Muslims to think when see and hear even secular Western media branding the views of extremists and Islamists as normative?
Take for instance the cartoon controversy from last year. Nearly every media outlet reported as simple fact that Islam prohibits depictions of The Prophet (Mohammad) or showing his face. It's not like it would have taken a great deal of research to document the falsity of this, at least as a universal claim. There are pious depictions of Mohammad in museums and mosques all over the world that show his face. I've got a book on my own shelf that shows dozens of them.

Muslims will do just fine if they change the name of their religion along with its god, prophet, holy writ, tenets of faith, sacraments, celebrations, and vestments.

Liberals are doing a great deal of damage to moderate muslims too.
Liberalism would do great things for the mideast. It certainly takes the fight out of a population. Unfortunately, western liberals only support those who oppose us no matter how brutal and backward they are.
If western liberals had any sense they wouldn't blindly encourage islamic extremists while discouraging moderates.

A moderate Muslim is a heretic. That is why they will get killed along with the Infidels.
They are probaly more hated than us by the Muslims who follow the fundamentals of the religion. Which is subjugating , converting or killing non believers.
For a Muslim to make nice with infidels is forbidden in the Koran. - Tom

Just in case anyone out there wonders why there aren't more moderate Muslims. There are a few, but they are becoming fewer and increasingly more silent.

Some of the Dutch film included things which Christians should have objected to, had they been forced to see it.

It is one reason.
