It is a certain fact not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that the hostage-takers of children in Beslan, North Ossetia, were Muslims.
The hostage-takers and subsequent murderers of Nepalese chefs and workers in Iraq were Muslims. Those involved in rape and murder in Darfur, Sudan, are Muslims, with other Muslims chosen to be their victims.
Those responsible for the attacks on residential towers in Riyadh and Khobar were Muslims. The two women who crashed two airliners in Russia were also Muslims.
Osama bin Laden is a Muslim. The majority of those who manned suicide bombings against buses, vehicles, schools and buildings, across the world, were Muslim. What a pathetic record. What an abominable "achievement." Does all this tell us anything about ourselves, our societies and our culture?
These images, when put together or taken separately, are shameful and degrading. But let us start with putting an end to a history of denial. Let us acknowledge their reality, instead of denying them and seeking to justify them with sound and fury signifying nothing.
For it would be easy to cure ourselves if we realize the seriousness of our sickness. Self-cure starts with self-realization and confession. We should then run after our terrorist sons, in the full knowledge that they are the sour grapes of a deformed culture.
Let us listen to Yusuf al-Qaradawi --the sheikh and Qatar-based radical Egyptian cleric -- and hear him recite his fatwa about the religious permissibility of killing civilian Americans in Iraq. Let us contemplate the incident of this religious sheikh allowing, nay even calling for, the murder of civilians.

Well, that's a small start.
But until the great masses of so-called moderate Muslims
begin loudly denouncing both the terrorist perps and their
deeds, the rest of the world can only assume that the
"moderates" are silently cheering on the cutthroat cultists.
Bump and bookmark
Too little, too late
It's justifiably smeared.
Maybe we can help purify his hijacked religion of peace by zapping the militant sheikhs for him?
Islam has smeared Islam.
:)
Abdel Rahman al-Rashed is one sane voice in the darkness that is islam.
I guess he can now look forward to a fatwa on his ass in no time flat.
About 32 years late (remember Montreal Olympics?), but its a start.
That may be the prevailing thought, or should I say defense. However, I seems to me it's also possible terrorists have simply drawn the light to a plaque that doesn't like being exposed and that the rest of the world needs to confront
Whoops! Munich Olympics.....sorry.
That's what I was thinking. Look for his voice to be stifled pretty quickly by Islamic peace-mongers.
Yeah, some are just collaborators, harborers, enablers, financiers and/or sympathizers with terrorists.
Islam was slimed whenever the perverted Mohammed dreamed up this nightmare of a religion and then codified it with his Koran!
This religion has started a war that is greater than all wars combined and Judeo-Christians must realize that it is their lives on earth that is at stake and, unlike the muslim rats, we don't get 72 virgins for following our Ten Commandments; rather we get a share of paradise with our True God and Master.
Oxymoron.
Terrorists have merely pulled the veil off Islam to let us see the dark death cult which it is.
Frankly, I have heard precious few Muslims claim they fear "smeared" by the terrorists. In fact, after 9-11 some Muslims were dancing in the streets of NYC, as were the Palestinians. Overall, Muslims have been deafingly silent, which amounts to a kind of empathy for the cause of their terrorist 'brethren'.
No.
Overwhelming silent response has shown us what Islam is.
Too late, Moos. Time to start shopping for a new death cult.
