If some group within my religion was murdering innocents and terrorizing cities and countries I would stand up and scream that they are infidel and not of my religion. I would share my knowledge and provide every form of assistance to the police to track these heathen down. I would be doubly enraged because of what they have done to my fellow man and the ugly stain they have placed on my religion.
If others in my religion remained silent, did not issue fatwahs against the terrorists, didn't point out the radical Mullahs known to recruit in the suburbs of Newark, Londonstan, Bergan, Copenhagan, Hamburg, Paris, etc
Then, I WOULD BE ASHAMED OF MY RELIGION.
I think a lot of Americans share this sentiment. Most of us are open minded enough to understand that we have nothing to fear from mainstream Islam. On the other hand, we'd all have a helluva better warm fuzzy if we heard a little more offense instead of defense coming from the Mosque across town.
If the tables were turned, we would be standing up and screaming about it. Where is this mass uprising within moderate Islam to take back their religion?
