This can only be a positive. Let's see some deeds to follow these words.

Critics have complained about the justifications of violence in Iraq by some clerics. Egyptian cleric Sheik Youssef al-Qaradawi - who has a regular show on the Arab satellite channel Al-Jazeera - has issued a fatwa saying that since Iraq remains in a state of war, the kidnapping of those involved is allowed, but hostages shouldn't be killed. He repeated that stance Monday, two days after the Sharm attacks.

Isn't this the guy embraced by that jerk Lord Mayor of Londontown, Ken Livingston?

Ok, they've got the words right, now let's see what follows. Talk is cheap, it's actions that are costly.

>> Islamic leaders "need to do a lot of work to enlighten clerics and preachers and educate them about the true religious ideas ... and teach them about the realities of the age we're living in," he said.

Yeah, we have a lot of clergy like that too. I'm not sure they can be reasoned with, but sometimes a 2x4 across the snout gets their attention.

I also noticed a dramatic sea change in the European press over the last few days.

Lemme put on my 7th century thinking towel and think this thing over. Hmmmm. All that I'm getting is eat with the right, wipe with the left.

"This is not just deviation, it is a culture,"

What, surely this must be a misprint.

Yes, all of this is true. They manufactured this terrorism. Not the West.

I think Egypt has always had a slightly more modern bent, not only a direct and visible beneficiary of British colonialism, but also by virtue of having a very strong cultural identity which predates islam.

I see several already picked up on this, but it's worth bouncing around for a long time.

BOUNCE!

They are beginning to realize that they are next; - that no one is safe from these mindless radical killer robots.

Thanks for this post, TheOtherOne!

It's an interesting article. The Muslim brotherhood, who some identify as the grandfather of modern Islamic terror, started in Egypt in the 1920s, I believe. The Egyptian government has been suppressing them pretty violently for quite some time. so, these actions are not unprecedented.
