Hmmm…Was Mohammed a moderate? Put another way where would Mohammed’s sympathy lie in today’s struggle? Would he be counsuling the Jihadists or talking to the President to find a way to stop the violence?
Would he be pleased to see the “moderate” nation of Indonesia in 2003 show a majority of 56% in a Pew poll backing Bin Laden after the horrific strikes against the US? Would he remain pleased when two years later that majority would dip “all” the way down to 36% believing the same thing? How would he explain those polls to those of us in the US who used to believe that our President was on to something when he stated that Islam had been hijacked?
Would Mohammed simply say that Islam was not Christainity and turning the other cheek was not demanded of Muslims? Would he be laughing at us for believing that Islam was not a threat? Would he be angry at his followers for being so faithless as to NOT be a threat to us?
