Here are my comments on the so called "moderate" Muslim.
Sure, there are people who may say they are Muslim that would not try to destroy civilization as we know it.
Example: I had a co-worker who is Muslim and claimed to be so. But he was Muslim only in the extent that his family was traditionally Muslim. He didn't pray five times a day, and rarely set foot in the mosque. About the only thing he did regularly was follow the diet of a Muslim. He never tried to convert anyone and never was in your face about him being Muslim. He even owns a number of restaurants and had no problem with having normal menus in them. My guess is that most in the office had no idea he is Muslim.
The thing about him though, is that most Muslims wouldn't consider him to even be Muslim. Even worse some would consider him an apostate.
He doesn't practice Islam regularly or rigidly enough. He is like all those people who claim to be Catholic but aren't, but their families are or were. So in most ways and days he really isn't Muslim. So how is he a "moderate" Muslim? Answer: he isn't. He is riding a dangerous thin line that may cost him big someday. He isn't in, but he isn't out either. It remains to be seen what he will do when the SHTF. Will he side with his family and Islam, or the non-Muslim life he has carefully built here? At the moment he wants it both ways, and at the moment he can get away with it.
Moving on, most Muslims in the US are likely seen by the elites as "moderates". The problem with most Muslims in the US is that they will rarely be open about how they really feel about Islam. Unlike the Muslims in the middle east, who are VERY open about how they feel about Islam.
The Muslims in the US will rarely talk about jihad and other uncomfortable aspects of Islam. Most are too busy enjoying the freedoms of our society in the time it has left. They will be just fine with sharia when it comes to our shores. Maybe some hope it will be a less strict version of sharia then the middle east, but there will be some who would want it to be stricter. Some of the most radical are from western countries.
Most unfortunately are bankrolling more openly radical Muslims around the world. A few may be doing it unwittingly, but most have to know the score.
The foundation that runs the mosques in my area, is seen by the elite as a "moderate" group. They were in the news a few years ago when they attempted to buy the church building (note: I do have relatives that go to the church selling the building)in a community that has few (but growing) Muslims living there. Not surprisingly the neighbors of the building that was for sale hated the idea (the church was going to relocate to a new structure). After years of trying to find another church organization to buy, they agreed to sell to the Muslims since they were willing to buy and there were no other offers.
So the neighbors went to city hall and demanded that the city buy the building for use as a rec center. The city council decided to offer $200k to the mosque to go away. It wouldn't have been news, had that happened, as they were willing to be bought out. But the mayor decided to be high and mighty and call it racism and mis spent money (he was correct on the second part). So it became a big news story. Mayor turning against racist neighbors etc etc.
But this mosque was later caught funnelling money to a local radical group who then sent it on to other radical groups. So that tells you something about it, at least the leadership of that mosque.
