The Western assumption that socalled moderate Islam is the real Islam and that socalled extremist Islam is just a deformation and a distraction from the rule, is wrong, and a Western self-deception. Islam is an extreme fundamentalist, totalitarian ideology by it'S most natural essence and content. So do not be mislead. Regarding Iran, I said it from the beginning on: there probably has been some fraud, to be sure that Ahmadinejadh would win for sure, but I strongly assume he would have won anyway, even without fraud.

Just because somebody is a very conservative Muslim doesn't mean they like Ahmadinejad. He's hardly a spokesman for the religion.
Saying that conservative Muslims think like Ahmadinejad and like him would be like saying that all conservative Christians around the world liked George Bush, which simply isn't true.
