Brad Thor in Defense of Pamela Geller: Islam Needs More Direct Challenges, Not Less ~Athena

Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam has not undergone reformation. While the majority of Islam’s adherents operate beyond a seventh century interpretation of Muslim doctrine, millions do not.

It has long been my assertion, particularly in the absence of any Islamic reformation, that those who are “technically” perverting the Muslim faith are not the fundamentalists, but rather the m...oderates. This is a reality successfully leveraged by fundamentalists to both silence, and sadly, woo otherwise peaceful Muslims to their cause. Simply put, moderates don’t have a contextual leg to stand on when confronted by their fundamentalist co-religionists. This is why what Geller is doing is so important.

Non-Muslims cannot bring about the much-needed Islamic reformation, only moderate Muslims can do that. But they’re not out in the streets rallying and marching against the fundamentalists and jihad. Why not? Because they’re terrified – and rightly so.

Islamic fundamentalists murder people for being gay; they murder children for going to school; they murder men and women for having an affair; they murdered a filmmaker for exposing Muslim domestic violence; and they routinely murder people for leaving Islam. It is highly likely that they will attempt to murder anyone trying to reform Islam.
