I think we will just have to disagree on the point that there are not many moderates, I can agree however that their influence is not being felt.
As I see it, they are there and don't have a voice (read: lack of free speech retards the ability of any voice but that of the pulpit or the official government voice). From the reading I have done and the people I know from the region, all signs indicate there are many moderates in the Middle East. They just don't have the tools or the platform to get their message through.
