The mainstream Muslims? Well just who are they? There's a lot of wishful thinking about "mainstream Muslims", the peaceable kind -- but they are not heard from, and every news report from muslim countries brings more stories, reports, cartoons saying "mainstream Muslims" continue to entertain the demons of hate and murder against America and Israel.

Honesty there are many peaceful Muslims ... but fewer and fewer of them appear as voices in the ranks of the popular religion. The leaders need to speak and act wholehearted for peace, to promote the sentiment in public, and that is NOT happening.

And to honor such rotten leadership provokes future bloodshed.

I notice you spend more time ramting about a dinner than you do grieving the loss of sixteen brave men.You have spent time bashing Bush and people who have faith in his leadership,imperfect but strong.I weary of your rants.

"Honestly there are many peaceful Muslims ... but fewer and fewer of them appear as voices in the ranks of the popular religion. The leaders need to speak and act wholehearted for peace, to promote the sentiment in public, and that is NOT happening."

I agree, but to speak out makes these leaders targets for the Jihad. Sure, I'd like to see more brave ones speak out against their murderous brethren, but simply showing up for a White House dinner with the leader of TheGreatSatan is making a point as well. This isn't just about Dubyuh reaching out to the Muslim-American community for Ramadan, the reverse is true also.
