Yes, give them credit. This is what we have been waiting for the moderate muslims to say since 9-11. And it took courage. Agreed, and it's too long in coming.
In the months leading up to the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 atrocities, what I saw plenty of was:
- Sad, tearful memorials for the victims -- Understandable;
- Every TV show, including such luminaries as Suze Orman, looking to grab cheap ratings by flogging its own "9-11 Angle" -- Tacky
What I
didn't see or hear in that entire ten years was
one single instance of a Muslim condemning those abominations, or urging anything less than "Islam as Jihad."
