A reader, Doug, has kindly pointed me to this story in which a Saudi gentleman named Mohsen al-Awajy is identified as a “moderate Islamist.”
Come again? I thought “Islamist” was the term du jour for a Muslim who believes that it is part of his religious responsibility to wage war and commit acts of violence in order to institute Islamic law. As Doug puts it, “I guess a moderate islamist is one who will start by just killing your pets or putting sugar in your gas tank in a humane attempt to get you to see the light.”
