Lately, we read a lot about how moderate Islam is and how good it is for our society today.
The local newspapers and foreign press have given much coverage to the moderation of Islam (Islam Hadhari) and how it can progress our community for the next millenium.
However, I beg to differ. Is there such a notion as moderate Islam? Can Jihad only means scientific and knowledge advancement? Will democracy be sacrificed at the voice of fundamentalist teachings? Do the vast majority of so-called moderate Muslim actually condemned Jihadist terrorists or are they indifferent and privately condoning their evil activities?
Maybe this article may help to open your eyes for a while:
It is the story of Daniel. Most amazing of all is his story; one that few have lived to tell. As a former radical Muslim who was heavily involved in the Iranian fundamentalist revolution, Daniel Shayesteh was once committed to exterminating Jews, Christians and other “infidels.”
Although Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world,1 the vast majority of “westerners” have a limited idea of what it really teaches. True followers of Allah (the Qur’an’s version of God) must be actively involved in the merciless extermination of Christians, Jews and other non-Muslims, yet communities across the United States have naively welcomed thousands of new mosques.
