Moderate Muslims want to have their cake and eat it, too. The Greater Islamic Caliphate idea is very attractive, considering the beating Muslim egos have taken for the past 2000 years, but perhaps they don’t like the idea of crucifixions and the rest of the long list of horrors that come with being a devout Muslim. However, human nature being what it is, we can’t count on so called moderate Muslims doing anything useful. Greed and cowardice go hand in hand.
I have noticed a distinct lack of support for Hamas. I think many other Muslims may sympathize with its goals, but at the same time, they don’t want Hamas running the show for them, and while they’d like to see their fantasy caliphate arise, they don’t feel like engaging in years of open warfare to achieve it. I think they realize that the latter is pointless and their attempts to get what they want by confronting the non-Muslim world have backfired.
So they’ll just sit back and wait for Barry to show up at some “major Muslim city,” as he has promised, with his speech proclaiming the acceptance of sharia in the US or whatever other garbage he plans to spew, and hand it to them without all that nasty fighting. Seriously, I think they realize they have the best shot now that they have ever had of simply walking in and taking over their one enemy without even firing a shot, and they don’t want Hamas to mess it up. They can live with Israel if it is just a limited, isolated state in the Muslim sea, and that’s what it will be after January 20.
