Moderate Islam? Where are they?

You constantly hear talk from the left how people that claim there is a problem with islam are crazy for painting all members of that religion with a broad and horrible brush, but when you see stories like this it is hard to make the case that something is not amiss with Islam. The question begs to be asked and answered why the members of Islam seem to suffer from such lack of confidence in their own beliefs. Or is it a deepseeded need for violence? If Christians got ticked off and thought every time they felt someone insulted some part of their religion blood had to be shed, you know that the very same people pointing out how it is wrong to say Islam has problems would be screaming at the top of their lungs about the evils of Christianity. or maybe they would not. There is a lot to be said about the fact that Christianity is an easy target precisely because those that follow it do not take to the streets and demand blood whenever they feel slighted.

Anyway, the reaction to this is simply astounding.  These people want to kill this woman. They are not happy with an appology of any kind. That says something about them. There is a reason that in Islamic countries it is against the law to have any other kind of religious material. There is a reason that in Islamic countries one can not build houses of worship that are not mosques. There is a reason that in Islamic countries, and they believe this applies even outside their countries, that anyone that abandons Islam -i.e. converts - is basically sentenced to death. The same reason is behind this reaction. Islam is simply intollerant and still trapped in the Dark Ages. Those that follow it are filled with hatered as a matter of course. This crap about Islam being peaceful is just that: crap. The proof is ample that Islam is a dangerous and scary cult. If I heard Christians were demanding someone be killed over somthing this stupid, I would be front and center making the case that those people were neither Christian nor my peers. Where have the moderate Islamic community members demanding these crazy bastards go home been? Be weary…
