the only "statment" made about ali tulbah was that his father was treasurer of an Islamic organization in Houston... the langaguge of the author of the piece is taking just the kind of liberties with these statements that have created alot of these problems -- yes, some Muslims are terrorists -- but not all Muslims are terrorists just like all blacks are not muggers and rapists and all Republicans are not racists and all corporate executives are not rapacious thieves... this is very dangerous ground and, in my opinion, we need to be very careful about the language we use and the so-called allegations we repeat.

At the solemn National Cathedral ceremony just three days after Sept. 11, the spokesman for the American Muslim community made no statement declaring the attacks contrary to Islam. There was no casting out of those who committed the crime. There was no fatwa against suicide murder. Instead, Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, spiritual leader of the Islamic Society of North America, offered that to "those that lay the plots of evil, for them is a terrible penalty." Who are these plotters of evil receiving retribution? Did he mean the terrorists? Or did he mean that America had it coming? He never said.

This is the #3 story at Town Hall so we might as well get it done and over with if it is nothing. Town Hall is a major web site for news and opinion and everyone is going to see this story.

It does not look like Frank plans to drop it and me I have always wondered why The President and Mr Powell attacked Pat Robertson so hard and calls Islam Peace, looks like that answer is coming rather we like what it is or not. Because Islam isn't peace its a bloody cult.
