Aidil Adha and the sacrifices moderate Muslims keep having to make Posted: 25 Oct 2012 06:49 AM PDT Iain Buchanan In Whose Moderate Muslims?, which we hope is the first of many more exclusive and thought-provoking articles for The Mole by the author Iain Buchanan, we confront an environment where not-so-moderate people - extremists, even - tell others the virtues of being what they are not, ie moderate.   Buchanan says the West demands Muslims fit themselves into its definition of the moderate Muslim but the West has itself failed to abide by the same standards.  The way to initiate true dialogue between moderates is for the West to take the first three steps to address its own failures.   Firstly, combat the growing influence of "Dominionist" ideas (such as Seven Mountains theology) in Christian evangelical strategy, especially in non-Christian countries;  Secondly, put an end to Christian predacity disguised as love and charity;  Thirdly, disavow the promotion of Christian Zionism by missionary agencies. ".. if (these steps) are taken, at the very least, the behavior of Christian evangelicals in the world at large will be less driven by zealots and less riven with deceit. And a dialogue can begin between moderate people." In this spirit of korban (sacrifice) for the better, I wish my Dear Readers a blessed Aidil Adha. Selamat Hari Raya Haji.
