This is another media related problem. They don't report what's going on around the world, so no one knows. Hopefully, the quotes below will shed some light. There are several other articles that have been posted here on FR on this very subject. Muslims ARE denouncing terrorists.
Changes ARE ocurring within the religion, but they take time. We need the moderate Muslims to make these changes within their religion. We should support them, not condemn them. With 1.2 billion worldwide, we need their help.

"where is the outcry of the supposedly non-terroristic muslims against terrorism?"
(Please see link in #47.)

"There simply are NO islamic groups anywhere in the world who are speaking out against terrorism."
(Please see quote below.)
"Egypt - where the Jihadist movement appears to have suffered its first major political defeat, followed by mass defections. Virtually the whole of the Gamaa-Islamiyah (Islamic Society) leadership has publicly renounced violence in the past year or so.'
(quote from Amir Taheri article, 10-03-03-)

"It is ironic that on the eve of the murderous action of Islamists on Sept 11th, when Islamists claimed that the world wants them to continue their atrocities, and they kept talking of hate for Americans abroad, more and more the people of the Middle East are passing a hand of rejection to the Islamists, and not just the people who do not care for religion or Islam, but even a great majority of Muslims do not want to hear or see the Islamists anymore, and have had enough murder and terror of the Islamists especially in the last 30 years"
"...the common reality is that the Islamic Fundamentalism of the end of 1970's is now disintegrating." "The order which has suppressed the Middle Eastern people all these years, and the Islamists are now at the end of their road, when people are calling for full secularism." (Sam Ghandchi)

Hmmmm. Granted the media does a Pee-poor job of reporting anything that doesn't fit their liberal socialist pondscum (LSP) agenda, but I have little faith that the examples you site are not most or all of the only anti-violence "articles" in existence (half-dozen out of thousands); after all, there are muslim-terrorist attacks world-wide, daily, which illustrate clearly and unequivocally what islam is all about.

Until muslims start turning terrorists over to appropriate authorities world-wide, daily, instead of blowing themselves up in stupid muslim death tricks, I won't believe a mere handful of muslims crying "peace" in the wilderness will have much effect on however many billion "kill infidel" types living according to the koran......
