Does moderate Islam have a future in the world?

This question was asked and here is my answer:

Moderate Islam is a myth. Any form of true Islam must be violent and use force because that was the pattern of life established by Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, the perfect man.

So to refer to your question specifically, I am not saying yes or no. I am suggesting that the very term "moderate Islam" is a fabrication and a term lacking a referent.

Statistics are very difficult to come by because there is no freedom of the press, religion, or assembly in any of the Muslims countries of the Middle East.

A poll was taken in Jordan within the last year and it found that something like 80% of people viewed Osama bin Laden favorably, but it was found to be politically expedient for both Jordan and the USA to not have those results released on a large scale.
