So-called "moderates" like Yvonne Ridley need to come to grips with the fact that she is being selective in her understanding of Islam; others who follow the faith don't see things as she does. Just because she sees beauty in the religion doesn't mean she should ignore the reality of its ugliness. You can't fix what you can't acknowledge is present. It is frustrating that so many "moderates" seem to just make excuses and denials, acting as apologists for radical Islam. For them to be encouraging their fellow "moderates" to vote against President Bush, makes me believe that they are undeserving of the monikker "moderates". It would be like instead of serving in the 442nd all-Japanese battalion during WWII as a Japanese-American, helping U.S. intelligence translate and intercept Japanese messages, rather than wanting to fight America's enemies (and some Japanese-Americans were active in helping to fight the Japanese), they decide to act as apologists for Imperial Japan; to sit out the war, and even actively work against American victory. If moderate Muslims cannot distinguish that we are at war with Islamic-terrorists who are at war with us all, then perhaps they share more in common with the enemy than we are telling ourselves to believe? Why, as a Muslim, would you identify yourself with THEM- the Islamo-fascists- when President Bush doesn't identify or confuse the two? Why, unless you feel sympathetic ties to them? Maybe that's why so many "moderate" Muslims feel like they personally are being attacked.

Until the moderate Muslims stand up and take their religion over I am afraid this will only get worse.
