"Jihad is Islam's "highest peak", it's reason for existing."

Moderate Muslims. We search for this mysterious and illusive species as fervently and hopefully as we search for life on other planets. We have set up high-tech listening posts all around the world in the hope of retrieving a single signal from them. Any small message at all, even the most fragmentary sign that would prove their existence. There is, we have been told, good reason to believe that they're out there, but unfortunately so far we've been unable to substantiate this belief.

However, these disheartening results have in no way diminished our enthusiasm for this worthy project, or caused us to lose confidence in the probability of its eventual success. We just keep listening and hoping.

These Moderate Muslims, we have been advised, are the Golden Key to winning this War on Terror -- or more precisely, this Islamic War against the West. It is to them we must turn to solve these intractable problems. Because, our experts have assured us, the problems inherent in Islam can only be resolved from within Islam, by those ephemeral and semi-mythical MMs. Only they have the moral authority to redefine the tenets of Islam and set it on its new course. But unfortunately so far we have been unable to substantiate this belief.

However, these disheartening results have in no way diminished our enthusiasm for this worthy project, or caused us to lose confidence in the probability of its eventual success. We just keep on listening and hoping.

Meanwhile, our brave American warriors are at this very moment confronting this ruthless Islamic menace all over the world, most particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq. And, through their professionalism and their courage and their daily sacrifices, they have achieved some remarkable successes.

But here on the home front we are still in turmoil. Here, we are in the real quagmire, still bogged down in that never-ending, and seemingly-hopeless battle of legalistic semantics. We are still stuck in those preliminary stages of attempting to define the enemy. While our heroic soldiers are fighting and dying on the battlefield, we at home are still in the process of trying to precisely determine who it is we are fighting.

We are NOT, we have been repeatedly admonished by our highest authorities, at war with Islam. Islam is a religion of peace. We are certainly not at war with all of those good peaceful Muslims all over the world. And we are most definitely not at war with those Moderate Muslims. They, in fact, are our stalwart allies in this war, which is really just a war against extremism, against just another form of religious fanaticism, kind of like a Middle Eastern version of the KKK.

We have gone to great lengths to get this message out there to the world, we want the world to understand: We are NOT at war with Islam. We take great care to make clear-cut distinctions between those good Muslims and those bad Muslims. And we want those good Muslims around the world and in our midst to clearly understand our position. You have nothing to fear from us, we promise you. We honor your religion and your right to practice it.

In short, if you're a Moderate Muslim you have nothing to fear from us.

But, now, what about those Moderate Infidels?

Surely there must be some Moderate Infidels out there. I wonder, are those eminent religious leaders, those wise and all-powerful imams and mullahs busily engaged in that laborious process of making those important distinctions between those Moderate Infidels and those Fanatical Infidels, whom they are fighting daily on their battlefields? Are they carefully separating out all those good Infidels from those bad Infidels? Are they perhaps bogged down in some moral quagmire of their own?

When they attacked us on 9/11, did they make certain that those killed in the attacks would only be those bad Infidels?

To expect to be saved by these mysterious Moderate Muslims, by their somehow rejecting the fundamental tenets of Islam, rejecting those perfect divine pronouncements of the Prophet, is as foolhardy and hopeless as expecting a Christian to reform Christianity by denying the teachings of Christ, or expecting a Jew to reform Judaism by denying the Torah.

It just ain't gonna happen.

I'm sorry folks, but the time for gentlemanly debate has long passed, it's time to wake up, before it's too late. Our enemy has clearly and repeatedly defined this battle for us, even though our political leaders have yet to find the courage to do so. For our enemy the issues are clear-cut and straight-forward: it is simply a battle of Islam against the Infidels.

We must finally accept them at their word and fight the fight that's there, not the fight we'd rather fight. WE are our only salvation. No one else. Not the British. Not the Australians. Not the Europeans. Not even those brave Israelis.

And certainly not those semi-legendary Moderate Muslims.

I have done a few posts every time Moderates stand up and speak out but it doesn't happen often enough.

If for no other reason than to protect the integrity of their religion for those that live it peacefully, they need to speak out loudly and consistently.

Muslims may be moderate, but Islam is not. Islam is malevolent, malicious, mercenary & militant.

Ask yer moderate Muslim if he accepts or rejects Al- Taubah 29. Fight those who... until... . Its a yes/no question with no middle ground. Either Allah commanded his slaves to attack Jews & Christians until we are subjugated and extorted or he did not. There is no relief valve; no bypass.

A person who embraces Islam yet hates offensive warfare suffers from irreconcilable cognitive dissonance.

Open Reliance of the Traveler to Book O, Chapter 9, Paragraph 8 and read. What does the Caliph do, to whom and why. Al-Shafi'i & al-Ghazali have answered how often: at least once each year.

Allah's word is final and perfect; it can not change nor be edited. Since Moe exemplified it,it can not be reinterpreted.

Islam must be eliminated. Lets get started.

The 'moderate' muslim is the one that will stand by and let the True muslim do the dirty work of the koran for him- just like the Germans stood by in the 30s and let the Nazis do what they wanted, in hopes of getting past all that ugliness and getting to the better life afterwards.

Too bad for them that means hundreds of millions dead. Just ain't gonna be the Kufr dying.

An excellent article Roger. Otter makes an excellent point. Like Spree, I also make a point of posting when Moderate Muslims speak up. Those posts are very few I'm sorry to say.

Exactly Debbie, I TRULY appreciate every moderate Muslim that speaks up, some knowing the risk to themselves, but the stories are few and far between.

I still say, even if they don't want to get into the political realm of it, they should speak up to defend their religion because many do practice it peacefully.

but spree, if they are "practicing peacefully" than according to the tenets of their religion they are not practicing it at all and are at least as vile as the infidels...

Heidianne, they can not practice Jihad peacefully.

Jihad is Islam's "highest peak", its reason for existing. By Jihad, Moe was made wealthy and acquired power. That's what its all about.

Jihad may be performed with one's life and property(by the sword), with one's tongue and pen (propaganda & agitation) with the heart( salat) or with one's wealth(financing Jihad). In any case, the outcome is dead or enslaved Kuffar. The means do not justify the ends; neither do the ends justify the means.

Let us live as freemen, with our bodies & property intact, without chains or fetters; without masters. They will not permit it, which leaves us one choice. Induce mass apostasy or mass subduction into Hellfire. Which will it be?

I too agree with Otter. And I agree with that WWII analogy -- even though some people say that they're getting tired of hearing them. Tough. If they work, they work. And, like it or not, we are reliving some of the same mistakes we made back then.

To me, the issue comes down to this: again using the 1930s Germans -- The German people had ample opportunity to denounce Adolf Hitler, but many (indeed, most) chose not to, some for the reasons Otter suggests. Even after he came into power in 1933, there were still those "decent Germans" who were morally or politically opposed to him.

But there soon came a time when their "opposition" became a moot point. After GERMANY started invading its neighbors, the world had to respond, and -- somewhat belatedly -- it did.

But, it must be remembered, the Allies weren't just at war with the Nazis; we were at war with Germany. And, unfortunately, there was no longer any time -- or indeed any will -- to try to separate out those "Moderate Nazis", or those "Good Germans" from the rest.

The Nazis may have started the war, but ultimately it was Germans who had to be fought and beaten -- unconditionally.
The time for subtle distinctions had passed.

I'm afraid we're facing some of these same problems once again. And, sooner rather than later, these Moderate Muslims are going to have to get off the fence and pick one side or the other or they will suffer a similar fate.

Also, it just occured to me, that those people who have most loudly voiced their disdain for the use of WWII analogies, it seems, have invariably been liberals.
Could it be that they just don't like being reminded of the historical precedents for their cowardly form of appeasement?
