I have met people in foreign countries that were Muslims but were not observant. The women didn’t wear scarves, didn’t go to the Mosque, etc.
Just as there are many, many Jews in the NYC area that are “cultural Jews” but don’t keep the Torah or attend synagogue. They are in fact “Jewish atheists”. Most of them voted for Hillary.
And there are many “Christians” that have morphed their practices and beliefs into something that would be completely bewildering to Jesus, mostly in order to attract more congregational members.
So I would say it is possible to be a “moderate Muslim” but only because they don’t faithfully follow the teachings and leanings of Islam, much like the above-mentioned Jews and Christians.
The bigger problem is, with several billion of them worldwide, if only 1 percent were true Muslims, who don’t ever separate their religion and politics, and they truly pursue Jihad as written, then we have a major disaster that is unlikely to be resolved without generations of suffering and bloodshed.
Please post the verse in the NEW TESTAMENT that allows Christians to Kill people that do not follow the teachings of Christ.
