Failing to Find Moderate Muslims at the Progressive Muslim Union
October 20, 2004
Failing to Find Moderate Muslims at the Progressive Muslim Union The good news is that my formulation that "militant Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution" is finding wider and wider acceptance. The bad news is the massive confusion over who is a moderate.
Illustrative of this problem is are gullible pieces by Rachel Zoll and Carol Eisenberg, both of the Associated Press, as well as a gushing Toronto Star article, all celebrating a supposedly moderate website, www.MuslimWakeUp.com, and the new organization it is sponsoring, the Progressive Muslim Union of North America. Eisenberg's first paragraph sets the tone:
They looked like any group of hip, young New Yorkers hanging at the Starlight Diner on West 34th Street. But this was no ordinary social hour. Crowded elbow to elbow around a long table strewn with coffee cups were 18 men and women, mostly in jeans and T-shirts. They were thoroughly Muslim and thoroughly Western. And they were brainstorming ideas to transform Islam in America.
Her article goes on to indicate that some of the worst Islamist and leftist extremists in the United States will have important roles in the. Names that stand out are those of Salam Al-Marayati of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, his former colleague Sarah Eltantawi, and Hussein Ibish, previously at the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.
Comments: (1) If these are the progressives, who are the regressives? (2) Separating the true moderates from the fakes is the monumental ahead. (October 20, 2004)
