Just once...just once, for heaven's sakes...could a major Muslim organization condemn the murders the extremists commit? Why are Muslims so quiet when their own murder innocent people?

Perhaps it IS true, Muslims just cannot understand the separation of church and state, or what a "free" press really means.

You are right on the money with that presumption. What most of Western civilization can not fathom is the nonexistence of Western civilization itself. We have no concept of any other "Culture" other than Western Culture. Separation of church and state is a prime example to consider. The Muslims on the other hand, know only what Islam teaches them. Religion is what their culture is based upon. That means laws [sharia] and societal behavior has evolved from Islam not the idea that all men are created equal and freedoms like the west.
