I am not a supporter of Islam, or of any other religious group, and I do find aspects of Islamic belief quite offensive, in fact dangerously offensive, but the difference is that I do not immediately assume that all muslims follow all the extreme teachings in the Koran, just as I do not assume all christians follow all the very bad stuff in the bible, and we need to be able to make that clear distinction between normal people, and extremist nutters.
The ADL claims to be against "Radical Islam", which is a fair enough comment, until you hear them speak, and you realise that to them, all Islam is radical, so they are really just promoting anti-muslim sentiments.

mozzaok,
PLEASE BELIEVE ME.
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
There is no, "Radical ISLAM".
ISLAM, is ISLAM.Period.
There is no 'moderate' ISLAM.
And THAT, is also the reason why there are no 'moderate' moslems.
This following Koran text explains the essence of
what ISLAM is, and the essence of
what ISLAM promotes in the world;
"Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods;....they fight in His cause,
and slay and are slain:..."
Koran 9.111

I am not a supporter of Islam,....but.....I do not immediately assume that all muslims follow all the extreme teachings in the Koran,...
mozzaok,
You, and people like you,
ARE by default, supporters of ISLAM.
Why so ???
Because you refuse to associate ISLAM [and you refuse to associate the evil which ISLAM clearly promotes, as a philosophy] with moslems.
It is your silence, and your lack of criticism of all moslems [your lack of criticism of what all moslems choose to embrace], which perpetuates the actions, the violence of moslems.
mozzaok,
How can you deny, that you are an appeaser, an apologist, for ISLAM ???
mozzaok,
I said that you refuse to associate what ISLAM is [what ISLAM promotes], with moslems.
CONSIDER, a 'moderate' moslem declares to you;
"I am a moslem. But i am a tolerant moslem. I am not an moslem who has extreme views."
While at the same time, ISLAM itself declares, e.g.;
"...If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him."
hadithsunnah/bukhari/ #004.052.260
AND,
"....Lo! Allah is an enemy to those who reject Faith."
Koran 2.98
"Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah,...fight ye against the ['unbelievers']..."
Koran 4.76
+++
mozzaok,
If a 'moderate' moslem declares to you;
"I am a moslem. Allah is my God, and Mohammed is his prophet."
...in what way is that person [who declares,
"I am a moslem."] NOT a supporter of
"Radical ISLAM" ???, when the ISLAM that is revealed within the Koran, and the Hadith [i.e. ISLAM's 'religious' texts] calls for the enslavement or murder of all non-moslems ???
+++
mozzaok, i ask you;In what way can any moslem be defined as a 'moderate' moslem, when every 'moderate' moslem essentially declares to you [and to us all];
"I am a moslem. But i am a tolerant moslem. I am not an moslem who has extreme views.
BUT, I ALSO CHOOSE TO IDENTIFY MYSELF WITH, AND ASSOCIATE MYSELF WITH, A PHILOSOPHY [ISLAM], WHICH DECLARES, THAT PEOPLE WHO OFFEND ISLAM [e.g. by converting to another religion.], CAN BE 'LAWFULLY' MURDERED."
mozzaok, i ask you;
By the act of a 'moderate' moslem so clearly associating himself with ISLAM ["I am a moslem."], in what way is such a supposed 'moderate' moslem
NOT a supporter of the extreme teachings of ISLAM ???
And mozzaok, i ask you;
When ISLAM, as 'a philosophy of life', declares [within its 'religious' texts], that it is OK ['lawful'], for moslems to intimidate, threaten and kill, people who 'offend' their religion,
...then what is it which defines a moslem, as a 'moderate' moslem, when moslems themselves, choose to associate themselves with what ISLAM is, by identifying, and self declaring;
"I am a moslem." ???Who is a moslem ???
A moslem is a person who declares;
"I am a moslem. Allah is my God, and Mohammed is his prophet."
Who is a moslem ???
A moslem, is a person who chooses to embrace a philosophy [ISLAM] which tells moslems that it is 'lawful' for moslems, to kill those who do not believe, as they believe.THE TRUTH IS THAT...All persons who self declare as being moslems, are ISLAMISTS [even if they will deny it].
The truth is, that there can never be, a 'moderate' moslem.
The supposed existence of even one 'moderate' moslem is a myth.
Why so ???
BECAUSE, ISLAM itself defines what it is, to be a moslem, and there cannot be a 'moderate' moslem, because there is no moderate ISLAM.
