Islam, however, presents a different challenge, because at its core it is a religion of non-tolerance. It's hard to know how to react to the modern "moderate" muslim, because what does it mean to be a moderate muslim?
Islam was started by their prophet (you know the name, but I avoid saying it for obvious reasons), 500 years after Christ, specifically because he was frustrated with the polytheism of the time. He wasn't a peaceful man, he was a conquerer who took the holy land over by force. He found it difficult to control the people when the faiths they followed were so varied, there were Jews, Christians, Pagans, and others. So he started Islam, to be the one religion of the world... from its inception, Islam followers were directed to convert or kill non-followers, "If there is a Jew hiding behind a rock, flush him out and kill him," because it was a "religion" of conquer and domination. Their holy book was dictated by this one man, and is one passage after another about how this goal must be met, or you are not a good follower. So, what does it mean to be a "moderate" muslim... that you ignore one of the primary tenants of your belief and are a bad follower? I don't know, I merely pose the question. But when we live in a polythiastic world, how do peaceful tolerant people respond to a non-tolerant sect? How does one embrace a people who don't want to embrace you back?
