They are awfully quiet and have let their religion of peace be co-opted by the crazies.

You cannot dispute that fact. Look around the globe. Where this is Islam, there is violence and political unrest. Why is that? Any idea?

You are right on both counts and that is why the perversion of Islam by political and cultural opportunists (which goes back almost to the generation after it was founded) has resulted in the current situation. However that does not mean Islam IS evil or that there are no moderate Muslims. It does mean Muslims must speak up against the jihadists and against the perversion of Islam for evil political ends. The alternative is to accept the idea that all Muslims must be killed.
