Is there any such thing as 'moderate Islam' like some ulemas claim themselves to be? isn't islam itself already moderate? why should you label your own religion?

Art Buchwald once said moderate Muslims were the ones that ran out of ammunition.
Muslims tend to be more peaceable in countries where theiy're in the minority. In countries where they're the majority, the "moderate" ones are few and follow the crowd for fear of being killed.

Most Muslims are peaceful people. If that means moderate, then yes, there are billions of moderate Muslims. You only see the tiny percentage of radical Muslims in the media. I live in a Muslim country, you do not see those things here, nor do you hear of people plotting, planning, or even talking about terrorism.
Unfortunately religions are labeled because most are decent, honest, pious people, but there are always the few that give religions a bad name. Labels are given to differentiate between the two.

You are correct, God tells Muslims in the Quran to take the middle course. They call us stuff like Islamics, Al-Qedea, Terrorists, Islamic Fascists... here we go again, we went through it with Native Americans, African-Americans.... now Muslims

Islam has no sects- you're either muslim or you're not. Guided or misguided. Islam preaches moderation and balance. It is clearly a religion without men.

"There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. The fundamental teachings of Islam do not teach us to kill and bomb people"
