“Moderate Muslim’’? Moderation. If the bloody religion were so ‘’peaceful’’, why the need for ‘’moderation’’? Wouldn’t that make the argument it isn’t peaceful?

In the past, I would have characterized leftist terrorism as independent from Islamic terrorism, but then I saw a pic of this mural . . .

“Moderate Muslims are not an oxymoron.”

Of course not. They are much more like unicorns and the Easter Bunny.
