  • Moderate Islam and moderate muslim is a label used within counterterrorism discourse as the complement of "Islamic extremism", implying that the support of Islamic terrorism is the characeristic of a "radical" faction within Islam, and that there is a "moderate" faction of Muslims who denounce extremist violence such as Islamic terrorism, militant Jihadism and radical Islamism. Moderation in Islam or moderate Islam is also a term that occurs as interpretation of the Islamic concepts of wasatiyyah or wasat (the middle way, center, balanced, best) as well as Iqtisad (اقتصاد) (right way, middle way, honest, truthful way) and Qasd (قصد). These terms are used in the Quran, for example to describe the Muslim community: And thus we have made you a wasat (moderate) community that you will be witnesses over the people. — Al-Baqara, 2: 143 Moderate views, in the first sense, are widespread according to opinion polls. A majority in eleven Sunni Muslim countries are very negative towards the Islamic State. Moderate perceptions are especially common among Muslims in the western world, for example Euroislam. Of US Muslims, 82 percent (2017) are concerned about Muslim global extremism, 81 percent believe that suicide bombing can never be justified, and 48 percent believe Muslim leaders have not done enough to prevent extremism (2011).
