At least it's a start and I wish them the best. (Although I haven't listened yet to the referenced talk show.) There's a radio station in Ft Lauderdale that has an hour of Muslim programming Sunday evenings (if that's still the schedule). I listened to it several times this past summer, and a nicer and more gentle group of people you couldn't find. They mosly discussed family issues, such as honoring fathers on Father's Day, and how to properly deal with and discipline their kids, who are exposed to immoral influences in the public schools. They pointed out many times that they believed the jihadists were criminals. They mentioned their dismay that Muslims entering this country were complaining about the USA, even those people who could not obtain citizenship in the countries where they were born. They made it clear that they love America and are grateful to be here. Good Muslims exist, and they are taking a personal risk by saying these things. They should be encouraged. MSM has done the USA a great disservice by giving air time, perhhaps just to introduce controversy, only to the despicable radicals such as CAIR.
A very well written opinion. However, I have a hard time believing that since 9-11 no Muslims speaking about their outrage and disgust and denounciation of terrorism could not get on Oreilly or any of the talk shows.
The silence is deafening. When they decide to announce they are not voting for Bush, I heard them loud and clear on all the cable stations.
Maybe the Muslims should take a cue from Sprint.
