re: #51 anchors_aweigh

Shouldn’t it be the peaceful muslims who should speak out against the militant strains of their own religion? Why should we have to point out the obvious to peaceful people?

When I see muslims rioting in the streets to stop the religious violence in their own name, thats when I start to sympathize…till then…not so much.

Islam can’t be outlawed practicaly or consitutionaly.
However I still smart from the deafening silence from Muslim groups & individuals after 9/11.
What I do recall is one Muslim leader calling 9/11 a teachable moment, for Americans to learn more about Islam.
