I have not read your whole post but this stood out:

There's no such thing as a "moderate" muslim, but nobody will admit it. They made it a holy war, not us, and we had better start fighting it in that context, or we will lose.

I usually don't bring personal stuff out on the forums but I just wanted to say that I think I'm a pretty moderate muslim. I was born in a muslim family. I don't practice any ancient traditions and neither does most of my family. I don't hate women and I abhor burqas. I've completed college and studying some more. I have never done any female circumcisions and I don't have a dirty yellow beard.
For earning money I do computer techy stuff, I paint, and I write. I have a double major of CS and MS and I had an art minor. I have never donated money to any religious fund and I don't support any crazies anywhere.
So, am I a moderate muslim? or is your definition of a muslim something like "crazy looney who can't be sane" in which case you believe that I'm not a muslim?
Some times I feel like a unicorn or some other mystical creature.
Yes, there are millions of muslims who would love to kill me simply because I'm an American, or because I don't believe in all their retarded beliefs. From my point of view, they are a bunch of criminal lunatics who are not at all civilized. A "holy book" can not make you into a terrorist.
So, have I at all changed your mind? or do you think that I'm one of Them?
