Where are the moderate Muslims?

We ask this question after every terror attack and one or two may appear on the scene, but is anyone else beginning to wonder if those moderates are really the ones who are wrong about Islam? Are the moderates the ones who are skewing the teachings of the Quran and ignoring the teachings of their imams, who call for the destruction of Western civilization?

A few days ago, at the soccer match between Turkey and Greece, they held a minute of silence for those lost in the Paris terror attacks. Twenty-thousand moderate Muslims gathered there in that stadium to watch the game that day in Istanbul. What a great way to demonstrate that not all Muslims are terrorists, right?

Wrong. The Turkish fans booed and shouted "Allahu Akbar" during that minute of silence.

The players and officials are visibly disturbed by their fans' disgusting chants. But, are they just upset that the cat is out of the bag? Are they whispering under their breath, "Shut up! They think we are their friends, you idiots!"

Is it any wonder that Donald Trump is doing so well in the race for president? Before the terror attacks in Paris, he said he would "bomb the s--t out of ISIS!"

The pundits call for him to give specifics, but the American people just want to know that our next president is going to do something. Bombing "the s--t out of ISIS" is specific enough for most American voters.

Before and after the Paris attacks, Trump has called for surveillance of certain mosques and even shutting some down. The other candidates came out swinging against Trump, but it has had no effect on his poll numbers. It is like Trump is reading the minds of average Americans and repeating their thoughts on stage.

The Democratic Party is as out of touch as it has ever been. Democrats say Islam has nothing to do with terrorism. They released a new ad highlighting all the GOP candidates using the phrase radical Islam.

Someone should tell the Democratic Party about a new poll on our war with Islam. Fifty-six percent of Democrats surveyed in a new Rasmussen poll say that we are at war with radical Islamic terrorism, along with 70 percent of Republicans and 54 percent of independents.

That poll also found that 92 percent of all voters now regard radical Islamic terrorism as a serious threat to the United States. So, that leaves 8 percent for the Democrats. How does a party win when it connects with such a small percentage of Americans? Maybe it can stir up some more racial tension before the election and blame Republicans.

Democrat politicians believe racism and global warming are the greatest threats to America. Even most Republicans are afraid to name the real problem, but the American people aren't afraid to say it. The candidate who wins this election will be the candidate who starts calling Islam what most Americans believe it is: The religion of terror, not the religion of peace.
