There is no such thing as a moderate religion. A religion is but a tool, influenced by whoever is dominant. Every religion has had it's golden ages and not so golden ages - moments where they could arguably be said to be positive influences, and times where they're not.

That's my answer to you.

Summary of Findings

A year after the war in Iraq, discontent with America and its policies has intensified rather than diminished. Opinion of the United States in France and Germany is at least as negative now as at the war’s conclusion, and British views are decidedly more critical. Perceptions of American unilateralism remain widespread in European and Muslim nations, and the war in Iraq has undermined America’s credibility abroad. Doubts about the motives behind the U.S.-led war on terrorism abound, and a growing percentage of Europeans want foreign policy and security arrangements independent from the United States. Across Europe, there is considerable support for the European Union to become as powerful as the United States.

13th link http://www.pewglobal.org/2013/09/10/muslim-publics-share-concerns-about-extremist-groups/

More than two years after the death of Osama bin Laden, concern about Islamic extremism remains widespread among Muslims from South Asia to the Middle East to sub-Saharan Africa. Across 11 Muslim publics surveyed by the Pew Research Center, a median of 67% say they are somewhat or very concerned about Islamic extremism. In five countries – Pakistan, Jordan, Tunisia, Turkey and Indonesia – Muslim worries about extremism have increased in the past year.

Same link..from that link

Few U.S. Muslims voice support for suicide bombing or other forms of violence against civilians
in the name of Islam; 81% say such acts are never justified, while fewer than one-in-ten say
violence against civilians either is often justified (1%) or is sometimes justified (7%) to defend
Islam. Around the world, most Muslims also reject suicide bombing and other attacks against
civilians. However, substantial minorities in several countries say such acts of violence are at
least sometimes justified, including 26% of Muslims in Bangladesh, 29% in Egypt, 39% in
Afghanistan and 40% in the Palestinian territories.


The long and the short of all this is that it would appear that you really dont read the pews links as what they report contradicts your polemic
You have been pwned by your own links.
I thought you said none of the links worked? When you got caught in that lie you decided to say that the polls are to old to be valid.

You are lying and desperate. Quite pathetic. Your trolling sucks.
They were truncated where I CPed them..my bad..but again, at least the Pew links paint a much diffrent picture than you are trying to push
You may be a conservative republican..if you are pro life until you get your mistress knocked up

That actually isn't a good example as it proves my point. Their religion is neither moderate nor not moderate. It just is, and they by their actions and desire not to be hostile, violent, and so on, they - or more so their brand/interpretation of said religion - is moderate. That isn't to say there couldn't be one of their faith who is violent, but as of yet that doesn't appear likely.

Same with Islam and other faiths. There are those who take their religious texts and teachings and spin it to justify horrible, horrible acts. Sure, those one are major league assholes....but the bloke at the corner store who is a Muslim from Pakistan and is simply trying to live his life and practice his faith privately? Not so much.

That's all it comes down to, what people do with what they have. Be it with religion or otherwise.

I was countering your point that all religion isn't moderate - on the contrary I find the Amish to be very moderate with regards to "oppression" and interaction with others.

Islam on the other hand is extremely oppressive - with moderate muslims agreeing that murder is justified for defiance of their religion.

Yet the Amish can be very much the opposite of moderate and Muslims can be the very opposite of 'oppressive', as all it comes down to is how the adherents apply and interpret the religious text. That doesn't mean the specific religious text are or are not 'bad' or not moderate. Frankly...just as Christians could, if they truly followed their bible, be much more immoderate, Muslims can also interpret their text differently than the extreme. Point being, if you judge a religion on its religious text, there's a failure to assess the human aspect. Not every religious individual will follow their text to the letter, even when they call themselves Christian or Muslim. I think that's the key thing when determining a bad muslim and a good muslim, a good christian and a bad one. Well, more so an ethical one as bad and good are overly moralistic.

Also, I'm not buying your "moderate" Muslim jab. Sorry, know too many and looked into and just not buying it.
