The recent “draw Muhammad” contest in Garland, Texas not only drew fire from two armed jihadists, it also drew fire from Christian leaders and media critics. One of the chief objections was that events of this type will alienate moderate Muslims and possibly drive them into the radical camp.

[plain talk]

drawing a cartoon will push them to become radical but beheadings won’t push them to be more moderate?

A radical muslim is one who wants to cut off the heads of infidels.
A moderate muslim is one who wants a radical muslim to cut off the heads of infidels.

[dfwgator]

They are apostates.

How to Alienate Moderate Muslims

Both of them??

[a fool in paradise]

They are indoctrinated that way.

Anyone who would put religious stock in the ravings of a pedophile, thief and murderer must subscribe to such lunacy themselves.

PC be damned too.

“Moderate” muslims are a tiny minority and have no influence over the bloodthirsty billions....

[Goreknowshowtocheat]

Moderate muzzies are the Trojan Horse here in the USA. They wait until there are 5% before they start destroying everything.

[Impala64ssa]

Oh, yeah, just like we need to condemn anti-Semitism lest we encourage Jews to become radicalized. We need to "make nice" with the Committee on American Jewish Relations as well as the Jewish Panthers and the Hebrew Liberation Front. /s

What PlateOfShimp said.

Weird! I was just thinking about a plate of shrimp.

Moderate Muslims are like Bigfoot, sometimes people think they see them, but there is no actual proof that they exist.

[ExGeeEye]

If “moderate” mahometists can be radicalized by a drawing, they weren’t that moderate to begin with.

[MHGinTN]

The radicals do their ‘work’ condoned by these mythical moderate Moose slimes. Seeing as how the ‘moderate muslims’ fund the murderous jihadis, we may conclude that there really are no moderate muslims, only taqquiya practicing moose slimes.

[I want the USA back]

A$holes!

If it alienates “moderates” and drives them to radicalism, then THEY WERE NOT MODERATE!
Their “value system” allowed them to become radical: they are already radical, just haven’t blown anything up yet.

[tbw2]

Christians rushing to defend Islam from criticism and mockery will not change the mind of liberals who mock and criticize Christianity.

[oldfart]

I have it in very good authority that Bigfoot does indeed exist.

Moderate Muslims though... Not so much.

[Enten]

False assumption.......that there are “moderate” muslims. The so called “moderates” are the muslims that watch, cheer and hand out candy as the jihadists murder the infidels.

[Smokin' Joe]

Aren’t those the ones who were celebrating in the streets on 9/11—instead of driving the planes?
