While addressing a crowd of Muslims, speaker Fahad Ullah Qureshi spoke about the elements of Islam that many around the world view as extreme, and what he said sheds a lot of light on just why there aren’t any “moderate” Muslims condemning the radical beliefs fueling the barbaric violence in the Middle East.

A video of Peace Conference Scandinavia 2013 posted to YouTube by IslamNet, a Norway-based organization, shows the group’s chairman answering a question about the manner in which the Western media portrays the world’s most brutal religion.

Qureshi focuses on how the media singles out individual speakers as radicals, but explains that the speakers can’t possibly have extremist views since every other Muslim thinks the same way. The “common” Muslim, as he calls them, shares the same beliefs as the extremists rampaging across the Middle East indiscriminately and killing people in the name of Allah.

The attendees agreed as well. They don’t believe themselves to be extremists or as having radical views, just that they are common, everyday Muslims guided by their religion. They agreed that segregation is the right thing to do, and that stoning and other barbaric punishments in the name of Allah are righteous and normal.

If you’ve ever wondered why you never hear about so-called “moderate” Muslims criticizing their own and denouncing the extremist elements of their religion, this video may give you some insight. The so-called moderates and the extremists are one and the same. There aren’t millions of truly moderate Muslims, because those that are make up a small minority and are irrelevant and terrified of the vast majority who share these extreme beliefs.

This isn’t fear mongering, Islamophobia, or any ‘moderate’ label you want to slap on it. This is reality.
