Ayaan Hirsi Ali's op-ed piece in the NY Times today is the perfect answer to anyone still searching for "Moderate" Muslims. They do not exist. Those that claim to be in that category are just the flaks for Islam.
As she points out, the texture of violence is in the Koran itself, without any mitigation or compassion. So anyone who is a "true" Muslim and claims to be living according to Shariah law, must adhere to the harsh "word". Islam has never had a "reformation" like Christianity; or rabbinical exegesis like Judaism. It is still the religion of bloodthirsty desert raiders. In no way, shape or form does it belong in a western secular, democratic, society; as is being proven daily in Europe, Australia and America. If we would only look at and accept what we see with our eyes.
Islam is not "the religion of peace". Contrary to what the flaks tell gullible Westerners, the word "Islam" does not mean peace; "salam" is peace (like the Hebrew "shalom"). "Islam" means "surrender", as in surrender to the will of Allah and, by extension, anyone that can convince the ignorant masses of Islam (1.3 billion of them) that he speaks in Allah's name.
