Well moderate Muslims are spread over many countries with probably the centre of moderate Islam being Turkey. The Taliban are certainly not moderate.I think you are being far to harsh on religion, using the actions of the extremists to tar the moderates.
Also ironic that you misattribute that quote to Stalin (it was Marx I believe who said religion is the opiun of the masses) given that Stalin at times viciously persecuted the religious included purges that involved the execution of many thousands.
