Many Muslim advocates say they have repeatedly condemned terrorism since Sept. 11, yet they are still criticized because their denunciations are insufficient or overly qualified. "We're speaking up, but people aren't hearing us," Al-Marayati said. "The problem is not in the message, but in the reception."

This rings hollow. The problem is the message: "Islam is a peaceful religion. We condemn terrorism BUT ..."

The fact remains that 1.3 billion Muslims still can't (or won't) control a few thousand "extremists".

More than one wife.

You can't shave.

Your wives can't shave.

You can't shower to wash off the smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.

The women have to wear baggy dresses and veils at all times.

Your bride is picked by someone else.

She smells just like your donkey.

But your donkey has a better disposition.

Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

I mean, really, is there a mystery here?
