Ok, but the title of this thread is The Search for Moderate Islam. When part of the reply is to offer quotations which demonstrate a moderate Islam, and you dismiss those as "PC", without offering any evidence for that assertion, does it not concern you that you might be being prejudiced ?

What would the PC position be for al Jazeera?
Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Their editorial slant is likely to be subtly different from that of Fox ;-)
However, the reason I chose al Jazeera to source a quotation, was to show that even that bete noire of the conservative right is reporting condemnation of the massacre. In fact, the page I copied and pasted from (the main website page) only quoted condemnation.Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

Just heard that Charlie Hebdo will be published as usual next week with a production run of 1,000,000. Its usual run is 45,000. I'll buy one if I can - not that I'll understand much of it.
The Interview, which was published online after North Korea - herein after referred to as the Norks - threatened to attack Sony if it released it, has so far made $31m. Probably much more than if it had released it normally and in a much more profitable way. The best way of showing terrorists that their attacks are counterproductive is for everyone to buy the stuff that these imbeciles don't want us to sell - in our millions.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android "Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed.Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin, in his beat poem, Storm.

What would the PC position be for al Jazeera? When your world view is that every Muslim wants to cut off a Yankee's head, then PC means pointing to or pretending to be a Muslim who pretends not to want that.Je Suis Charlie Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison.

Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

The problem is that Islam itself, its own "holy" books, is all for the taking of SOME lives, and jihad is on their books, the killing of nonMuslims for Allah is on their books. There are no doubt moderate Muslims but they are out of tune with their religion. They can't very well condemn an action that is prescribed in their own books and be trusted.

Did I really just hear you say that we can't trust Muslims?

Ah, ok, it's just that I thought I heard you say that we can't trust Muslims and, as you know, that would be an appallingly racist and un-Christian thing to say and think and would likely lead to incredibly damaging civil unrest and the persecution of perfectly law abiding, god fearing, citizens that contribute a lot to our society and culture.

Gosh what a flowery bit of fantasy THAT is. Along with a weird idea of the consequences of mere lack of trust of people whose religion wants us all converted or dead. Moderate Muslims either don't know what their religion prescribes or they are lying low as told to do until the time is right to take over a particular society. Their own leaders have said as much. Funny how those who think they are on the side of reality here are the most susceptible to suicidal lies. Rather than face reality you call those who tell the truth racists. Typical PC
