People say that Islam is a religion of violence, but one finds moderate and tolerant Muslims all the time. The characterization may be true, but it has to be understood properly.

What I think is going on is that Islam is in a culture where moderates simply cannot get any traction. The voices of zeal alway shout louder and get heard. Extremism is always respected for some reason.

Makes me wonder if Presbyterianism is a religion of violence. Hopefully not forever.
