28. tolerating extremist religious gibberish
That's what the writer is saying. Moderates have to stand up for their God and dogma with the same kind of resoluteness that the idgits do. Like standing up against Hitler's brand of religion, moderates can't continue believing that tolerance to any religious belief is the solution.

I would agree that moderates need to stand up for their own religious values, not so sure becoming dogmatic about it would be helpful though. Seems like this is what the radical right said a few years ago, one belief isn't as good as another, and look at where that has gotten us.
