Re: Moderation
Nice post. So are you hinting that any Islamic principle that does not hinder this personal freedom of others defines A characteristic of a moderate muslim.
Why are we still approaching "Islam" as a title? Islam cannot be moderate or unmoderate ... it either IS or IS NOT ... just like a pregnancy. Islam is not inherited like a surname. It has to be established in the heart and mind, and in society.
The day we realize this is the day we will have achieved a major milestone, for the West will be completely baffled that we are no longer ascribed to the labels they have chosen.
