There's no such thing as a MODERATE Muslim

A conservative muslim is considered as one who leads the whole of his life according to the Islamic teachings. However, one who is usually called a moderate Muslim is one who chooses some of the Islamic teaches. Thus, he leaves many. According to Islam, a Muslim should not pick and choose as it would be following the nafs or following himself. Thus, he is not following Islam at that time as he commits shirk by giving more importance to his nafs as compared to Allah. Thus, the conclusion is that a so-called Muslim is also like one who is considered as a non-active Muslim.

The word "extremist" has been replaced by the word "conservative".
