Where Are the Moderate Muslims? – HotAir

It’s not exactly true that no moderate Muslims stand up against the calls to terror and radicalism of the extremists. I follow several who do, and there are now Gulf countries that are explicitly warning the West about the Muslim Brotherhood and other radicals. 





The UAE, for instance, will no longer fund students to study in London out of fear that the students will come back radicalized. 

But they are particularly rare, and especially so in Western countries, where most Muslims remain silent about the radicals, and where an awful lot of the worst extremists are quite open about their plans to bring down Western societies and Islamize them. 

The Palestinians, who are the new hot group of “victims” in the West, are notably excluded from settling in Muslim countries, which want nothing to do with them. A Palestinian “refugee” from Gaza will be welcomed in Europe, but not in Egypt, Lebanon, or Saudi Arabia. Because they are poisonous to civilization itself.

On camera, at the Al-Aqsa compound — one of the sites the Islamic world calls among its holiest — a cleric delivered an open “𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥” not against an army, but against an entire people:

“𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘤𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘑𝘪𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘈𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘩. 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘱𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥, 𝘬!𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦. 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘶𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.”

Read what that is, plainly: 𝐚 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜, 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐥𝐲-𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧-𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐜𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 — delivered from a pulpit treated as sacred and broadcast to the world.

Imagine, for one second, the global response if a Christian or Jewish leader stood at a revered holy site and called on a great army to “𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘺” the Muslims of the earth. It would lead every newscast on the planet for a week.

Muslims in Western countries are quite open about their intentions and don’t even try to hide their extreme views. Imams in mosques will not only preach about destroying the West,  or the permissibility of committing heinous crimes on Christian women, but they will do so right on camera. 

Radical Muslims march in the streets openly expressing their genocidal intentions, and Western politicians court them for votes. Muslims in universities—recruited by academics out of some  misguided sense of solidarity with oppressed people, spit in all our faces, and many openly support terrorism. 

Every group has its extremists, of course. It is part of the human condition. What is so troubling is that so few “moderates” who claim they want to integrate are willing to condemn them, and as a result many of their children are more radical than even their parents. 





If you look at the ISIS brides, or the Western Muslims who fought abroad, you find that many were born in the West. Not only did their parents fail to immunize them from the worst tendencies of their religion, but they failed to discourage them when they adopted radical ideas themselves. 

No doubt there really are some moderate Muslims, but obviously the reality is that they are far too few, and most of those are remarkably tolerant of radicalism. If they consider their children being radicalized normal and perfectly acceptable, what matters if they are not inclined to participate in the madness?





“Jew Free” now shows up in a slide during a conference at a publicly-owned centre in Canada’s largest city. No one had the courage to say that out loud three short years ago. 

If you’re wondering why so many elected officials, and the Police Chiefs who work for them/us, have stood by while The Canadian Contract is breached on a daily basis keep these figures in mind: 4.8% vs. 0.9% (the Muslim vs. Jewish population in Canada as of 2021, via Stats Canada) & 30.6% vs. 6.3% (the 2011 NDP electoral vote vs. 2025). 

Too many Canadian politicians have sold their souls for short term political gain. 

If Muslims are unwilling to stand up to the radicals and defend societies that have extended them a welcome, the obvious answer is that the group as a whole is too toxic to society to keep admitting them. 

The irony is that Jews, who are considered such a problem, spend an inordinate amount of time criticizing each other for real or perceived problems in their community, yet they are demonized. 

Muslims, on the other hand, stay silent or even attend mosques that preach terrorism. 





I don’t believe in collective guilt, and don’t assume every Muslim I meet is a bad person or dangerous to me. 

But I do believe that, as a society, it is not too much to expect that people who identify with a group have a responsibility to hold others within that group accountable. White people are expected to and do reject the KKK, for instance. I don’t see a lot of people attending rallies held by white supremacists. 

Why should Muslims not be expected to do the same? And if they can’t, why should we welcome them into the very communities they feel comfortable being destroyed?

The simple answer is that we shouldn’t.
