It's irrelevant that probably 90% of all Muslims are moderate and yet you paint the entire 1.7 billion of them as 'trouble makers.' Interesting.
When the actual beliefs of Muslims have been brought to your attention, you have not been in the least bit willing to acknowledge them, since you are simply too dishonest to do so.
If this this imaginary number you trot out is true, then you have just described the desire to kill people who leave one's faith as a "moderate" position. Killing gay people is "moderate" to you as is throwing people in jail or killing them for blasphemy.
You only consider these beliefs moderate because they are Muslims and because you have predetermined that you absolutely must defend them. If they came from any other group of people, they would be considered extreme.
When people create double standards such that what they consider "moderate" for a Muslim is such magnitudes different than the standard they would use for any other group, what does that say about the hypocrite in question and what does that say about Islam? Seems to me that one of the biggest indictments of Islam is exactly this hypocrisy -- it demands such a completely different standard in order to judge it by all the legions of apologists who find it necessary to indulge in these very sorts of dishonest platitudes about imaginary "moderates".
As apologists define it, a "moderate" Muslim is simply a Muslim who is not actively engaged in terrorism. It does not mean this is a moderate person, however, as hundreds of millions support the objectives, if not the methods the terrorists employ towards their shared ends. .
