Oddly not a one named Mohammed.



Ok, Larry, Moe and Curly then...

  • 'Jihadists' spoke about blowing up their rucksacks, shooting people and blasting them with a rocket launcher, jurors were told today

Makes you wonder how many other moderate Muslims are plotting against society
I think these folks were plotting against Jordan were they not?
Knives eh, God I hope they don't chose fry pans, wine openers or fly swatters
What kind of idiots are we dealing with on this planet? I love the transplant hair
explanation.

If they are plotting to violence and killing innocent people, then they aren't moderate Muslims. That would make them extremists relative to the majority of 1.4 billion Muslims who aren't plotting to kill anyone....

^ And that says "Moderate" in your language, how?

Misleading, baseless and intnetionally inflammatory subject heading.

Moderate muslims would appear to be an oxymoron.

The same can be said about Christians & Jews... Since we're using one big brush to paint groups with ignorance, why not just keep painting outside the lines, huh?

It's not like it matters any... Religious people are all the same... Regardless if they're cutting people's heads off, blowing themselves up, dragging minorities down a dirt road with their truck, hanging people from trees, going on mass shooting sprees, blowing up abortion clinics, shooting doctors who perform abortions, beating interracial couples, painting swastikas on their rival religious buildings, burning people at the stake, molesting little children, opporessing women, spreading their religious ignorance through schools to our children, protesting at people's funerals and insulting the dead as they're buried by their loved ones, Etc.

It doesn't matter if they're coming to kill you outright or knocking on your door in a button up shirt & tie with a black book in their hands, you're already dead in their eyes and they're all the same.

Are they considered moderates because they used knives instead of explosives?

Reading the OP, they used explosives. They used knives as shrapmel instead of nails. Usually if you are making a bomb which tries to create most injuries, you use nails or glass or something that leaves the explosion site at high velocity creating mayham and injury in it's path. These guys used knives.

At any rate, not the action's of a moderate anything.
