There is no outrage in the Muslim world, none at all In light of recent events, combined with events over the past few years post 9/11, I have looked studiously and come up empty on one critical matter concerning terrorism committed by Islamic radicals, and come up with a continiuously unanswered question? Where is the outrage? To be sure, there is some criticism by a few token Muslim clerics here in the United States to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, but there has been no public denunciations by rank and file Imams and Mullahs, no condemnations of actions, whether it be those perpetrated against the United States, recent hostage takings of French journalists in Iraq, suicide bombings in Israel, or the recent atrocities committed by Chechen rebels in Russia against innocent men, women and children, on land and in the air, and no SCATHING CONDEMNATIONS from any muslim cleric. Where is the outrage, where are the condemnations? The answer is quite simple, there is none. As a Catholic, if someone of the same religion as I had perpetrated acts like bombing mosques or shooting up Muslim schools, anywhere in the world, it would be rapidly condemned by not only local Catholic clergy, it would be condemned by the Holy See itself, and condemnations against such atrocities would ring out in sermons at Masses the world over for weeks. Muslim clerics and lay people need to learn that if they don't start condemning these atrocities, and continue their silence when such atrocities happen, they will, far from being a solution to the problem, will present themselves as the problem for all civilized nations.
Your comments were right on. There is a deafening silence from the "Muslim community" about terrorist outrages. That is, when they aren't dancing and singing in the streets.
