Looks like the hippies don't want to live under Sharia law after all...

From the article: "I am worried that London will not believe the condemnations that begin with 'Islam is against these kinds of attacks that target innocent people' and end with 'but we must place them in the context of Iraq and Afghanistan and (any other place you think Muslims have suffered an injustice)'. That 'but' will always be our worst enemy."

I've noticed the same "but" coming from left-leaning Americans. Anyone else noticed that?

This is good news.

After 9-11 I thought that "moderate, mainstream" Muslims did not stand up loudly enough to radical Muslims, both is America and abroad. Now, even in the Middle East, many Muslims are speaking out.

This can only be good for our side.

From the pulpit of the Peace Mosque in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt's leading Islamic cleric ripped into terrorists who kill innocent civilians. They will be damned in this life and the next, he thundered before hundreds of worshipers.

"The aggressors who blow up themselves, their cars and bombs against innocent men, women and children will not be given any mercy by God. ... They will be cursed by God and his angels," Grand Sheikh Mohammed Sayed Tantawi said during his sermon preceding Friday's prayers.

I'm pretty sure that a video of this guy while he was giving this sermon would have shown that his fingers were crossed the whole time.

".........Muslims across the world are struggling to deal with an escalating campaign of violence waged in the name of Islam........."

Really?

Sympathy-crap from the Lefty Multiculturalists in San Francisco.

[BunnySlippers]

It was okay until the last paragraph.

[Eddie01]

"Muslims feel strain of global terrorism's grip on their faith."

[Translator] beep beep PING!!

"Muslims getting nervous their true nature is being revealed."

Wait until ordinary citizens take up arms and walk (drag, whatever...) them out the door.

The lying bastards have remained silent (at best) for 30+ years. Now that the spineless have had enough and are starting to point fingers at the devil worshiping, cockroach infested, cult of islime, the cult followers realize they must appear to be against terrorism.

Anyone stupid enough to believe this tepid condemnation of terrorism does not deserve to be in the gene pool.

Unfortunately, it is very hard to assign the proper blame to this cult in the media as the MSM will not print or broadcast such true analysis.

We at the FR could at least refrain from ever placing the word "religion" anywhere near the word islime or mudslim or MoHamMud unless it is to say "it is not a religion". No belief system that instructs the killing of nonbeliever should be allowed to use the cover of religion.

[JCEccles]

As I read this article, the good news is that moderate Muslims are beginning to look inwardly to find and uproot the causes of terrorism. The bad news is, they're not looking deeply enough.

Now moderate Muslims are apparently admitting, "Yes, terrorism is a Muslim problem." But then they add, "More specifically, it's corrupt Muslim autocrats like Mubarak and the Saudi royal family whose policies are generating poverty and resentment who are to blame."

In other words, moderate Muslims are still in denial over the profound influence that their religion has in justifying and generating terrorism. And they still refuse to recognize, repudiate, and eliminate the intense persecution carried out by Muslims against non-Muslims in Islamic countries all in the name of Allah.

Until the Islamic world comes to terms and repudiates those very clear mandates of the Qu'ran and hadith on which the terror Jihad against non-Muslims is carried out, any "fix" they achieve will be a short term fix and new waves of Islamist terrorism throughout the world will continue to pop up as a matter of routine.

There are two key words in this carefully crafted statement and, if one looks closely, they repeatedly appear in all such "condemnations" from so-called moderate muslims.

Watch out for aggressors and innocent.

Non-muslims are always the former and never the latter They are the classic get-out-of-jail-free cards used to convey one message to the faithful and another to the kuffr

Quintessential, Islamic taqquiya

[manic4organic]

It seems they've only just begun to worry about the terrorists, and only about the muslim victims, seemingly.

[junta]

These types of commentary were in this weekend's Chicago Tribune as well, some serious PR rehab by the lefties appears to have started.

"Religious leaders condemn the bombings in one breath and justify them in another."

And which message are they listening to? Well, they keep preparing and exploding bombs so I guess we know the answer to that.
