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.

but what about moderate muslims in free countries? at least the ones in uk protested and spoke up against the sudan govt. but i rarely ever hear moderates in the us etc condemn terrorism or abuse of women, foreigners etc.
