Silent imams must speak out on Islamic violence
Rare.US ^ | June 12. 2013 | Rep. Mike Pompeo

There have been at least a dozen attacks by Muslim terrorists on U.S. soil since Ramzi Yousef’s parked rental van exploded in the basement of the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993. Some have caused death and injury—such as the 9/11 attacks, Nidal Hasan’s mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, and the Boston Marathon bombings. Other attacks—such as Faisal Shahzad’s fizzled Times Square bombing or Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s unsuccessful underwear bombing of a flight—were thwarted or aborted.

Yet fatal or not, all of these attacks were successful in some respects. They scared Americans and reduced freedom in the most freedom-loving nation on earth. They slowed our economy. They demonstrated that our open society is vulnerable. They were, in former Attorney General Michael Mukasey’s words, “crimes that are nonetheless meant to send a terrorist message.”

When the most devastating terrorist attacks on America in the last 20 years come overwhelmingly from people of a single faith, and are performed in the name of that faith, a special obligation falls on that faith’s leaders to respond.

They may be silent but their not stupid. Speaking out against the religion of peace can have consequences.

The imams condone this. The silence is deafening.

Why? All they will say is it is not time for violence... yet. Wait until there are too many to throw into jail.

The “Silent” Imams support the Jihadis.

This article assumes there are Imams who oppose terrorism and murder in the name of Islam.
