Moderate Muslims can do nothing about that until reasonable and decent non-Muslims agree to get off the side lines and stand with them.

There are always a variety of voices within any group. Moderates normally don't speak out because they are the "silent majority" who know they are the true center of mass, or they are just complacent because they are not being threatened personally (yet). It takes someone to motivate them to speak out.

And you're right.. you'll never totally silence the voices of muslim militancy. But you sure can drown them out and make their recruits second-guess their credibility of their cause when so many other Muslims are telling them to stop it.

Our job is to ensure that those moderates get at least the same equal air time in the news, as the militants obtain by blowing up innocent people.
