Seeking to gain and preserve their doctrinaire supremacy, the fundamentalist groups strive to dissimulate their ideology by building convenient discoursive realities that diminish Islam phobic reflexes and allow speculating on the breaches within the non-Muslim cultural system. We intend to prove that the border between moderate and radical Islamism is extremely thin. In developing a cooperation strategy with Muslim moderates, a thorough analysis of their discourse and actions should be made, by referring to the way they relate to the essence of the Islamist ideology (restoring the Caliphate and imposing the Sharia as a legal system) besides the declarative rejection of violence. This analysis becomes even more significant as the simple declarative rejection of violence might be misleading and the alleged “intermediary ideology” (as “wassatiyya” introduces itself) might stand for the ideal camouflage of radical Islamists.
