Have to wonder where the phrase "moderate muslim" comes from, don't you? As if all muslims carry a card which displays their religious alignment.
It is meaningless, of course. Bigotry relies on the assumption of the homogenous whole, making it easier to attack or dismiss a group all at once. The reality is, of course, that you might be able to group some people together because of some shared affiliation, but that commonality is probably outweighed mightily by the DIFFERENCES between the different members.
