We have no friends among the Islamist forces of the Arab Spring; only enemies who hate us moderately and enemies who hate us extremely.

Now if only we had a President who understands that fully and what it means for us.

Heard a report this A.M. that two of the guards (libyans) protecting Ambassador Stevens and Ambassador Stevens’ group were involved in a bombing of a consulate two months prior. Yep, the tallybunnies are in the building.

Moderates and so called extremists recieve all the same teachings, some act on those teachings.

[Aevery_Freeman]

But the great challenge of our time is telling apart Muslim moderates and Muslim extremists.

Previously, I created a cartoon depicting a Muslim with an angry look on his face and labeled it "Extremist Muslim".

The next frame had the same image except with red crosses for eyes and it was labeled "Moderate Muslim".

Photobucket wouldn't host it and Free Republic removed it so I can't show it....

But that don't mean it ain't true.

We do. He’s on their side. That is the real problem.

So-called “moderate” Muslims are those who just cannot bring themselves to obey the demands of the koran to be violent towards infidels or fellow apostates. The success of the Muslim Brotherhood has been in teachings that call Muslims to obey what the koran requires. Thus, the more Islam spreads, the more its core will be emboldened to carry out Islam’s three demands on the rest of the world: convert, submit or die.

Islam is “the religion of peace” only when we allow Islam to define the meaning of the word “peace”. In that context, Islam divides the world into two areas: those that are under Islam (the house at peace) and the area yet to be forced to submit (the house at war). You get the drift.

Its EASY to tell them apart.

The extremists are still breathing and the moderates are not.

This argument makes as much sense as “How can you tell a good NAZI from a bad one?”

[Eleutheria5]

There are people who are nominally Muslim, but don’t give a damn about Islam and wish it would go away. There are people who are devoutly Muslim and want to conquer the world and kill all infidels in new and creative ways, using modern technology. There are degrees in between. But that’s all there is.

Extremists cut throats on videos, kill their own children and wives, blow up infidels, and rape gay ambassadors. Moderates keep quiet.

A moderate is one that doesn’t sodomize a dead body after he murders it.

The real difference? Not a dam thing. You acquiesce, you adopt.

[bayouranger]

People forget that 95% of the Egyptians here in the US voted for the moslem brotherhood. Moderates my backside!

[JudgemAll]

Yeah, and here in the US we have muslims in high places, Secret Service etc...

We think we are smarter than Saddam who only used christians for bodyguards... and Kadafi who only used atheistic arab female feminists.

[JudgemAll]

The extremist is the secret agent saboter of the moderate honeyed mouth muslim. Our intelligence agencies are completely gilded because of gay rights etc...

[Aevery_Freeman]

What I found dismaying is that a nation/people abhor an updated version of the saying “the only good injun is a dead injun” so often heard in the westerns of my youth.

[MamaTexan]

An islamic ‘extremist’ is just a moderate that hasn't has a chance to blow anything up yet.
