Militants kill mosque cleric for resisting 'terrorist value' preaching
Here is a perfect example of why moderate or shall I say reform Muslims cannot stop their pious and observant brethren. The truly moderate Muslim is moderate because his basic humanity and love of his fellow man is coming out in spite of a lifetime of Islamic indoctrination in hatred of other. The moderate is always at a disadvantage because he will not use violence, while the pious and observant Muslim will always use violence.
The pious Muslim uses terror and fear as a weapon against his fellow Muslim more often than against the kuffar. Violence is the cornerstone of control in the Islamic world.
