As for defensive posture displayed by some Muslims when Islam is criticized, it depends on the criticism. If someone is involved in wholesale bashing of Islam, he/she is an anti-Muslim bigot, and does not help the anti-Gihad movement. However, if someone makes a clear distinction between Islam, the religion, and Islamism, the political ideology or provides constructive criticism of Islam by pointing out specific problems that we all know do exist, his/her criticism will be welcomed by the Moderate Muslims.

Unfortunately, CAIR & Co. spend millions of Petro-Dollars to blur these lines and distinctions, and it is our job to make those lines clear.

We hope that this guide will help the uneasy process of distinguishing true Moderate Muslims from Radicals claiming to be Moderates.

I also have talked with some who are out of Islam now and they hate Islam.

It’s a hard time for us.
