Moderate Muslims? Moderate Christians?

The second truth — one that the West needs to come to grips with — is that there is no such human persona as a "moderate Muslim." You either believe in the oneness of God or you don't. You either believe in the teachings of his prophet or you don't. You either learn those teachings and apply them to the circumstances of life in the country you have chosen to live in, or you shouldn't live there.

Is there such a thing as a moderate Christian? Is it the case that one either believes "No one comes to the father except through me" or doesn't?
