Okay, he said this:

"So, is this a good thing? Does this signify that moderate Muslims are standing up and reminding people that Islam is supposed to be about peace?"

We're talking about the same question here, right? I think, again, it's fair for Islamic amateurs such as ourselves to ask that question. Like I said, it seems like a good thing, but could it create a backlash against moderate Islam? Will innocent people get kidnapped and beheaded in Spain due to this position? I think you could ask, well, is this news perhaps even superfluous....? I don't know, do you?

If you have a scenario in which the promotion of peace and the condemnation of violence against innocents is a bad thing, please share it.
You know he wasn't asking us whether or not the protection of the innocent is a good thing. Sheesh.
