Whats a moderate Muslim? Are there moderate Christians?

If your moderate Christian or Muslim then are you by default not Christian or Muslim because your not committed? I don't consider myself a moderate in my religion, but i'm not a crazy guy either.

imho something is commitment and something is fanatism, moderation is tolerance, acceptance to other points of view, not lack of commitment

With a name like Crazykasim you must be crazy. But seriously I think the majority of Christians and Muslims would fall into the category of moderate because that's just the mainstream majority that doesn't get too extreme at either end of the spectrum and doesn't engage in aggressive behavior to promote their agenda. Most religious people just quietly follow their beliefs and live their lives according to those beliefs. Also, that doesn't lessen their committment to what they believe.
