"I like to see them march and protest AGAINST the terrorists. They show their numbers when Allah and Mohammed have been defamed. To hear them tell it, the terrorists have hijacked their peaceful religion and ignore the teachings of Islam. To me that would me the terrorists defame Mohammed, Allah, and Islam."

I'd like to see them marching myself. If enough of them start talking and writing about it, maybe that will happen, too. I'm not holding my breath waiting for it, but I would like to point out that we do have allies in the war against terrorism who are Muslim. Some of whom have been fighting and dying alongside our troops. It's not impossible.

We are told how muslims are the targets of hate crimes, especially when they riot, er, march in protest of cartoons (calling for the beheading of the cartoonists). They don't seem to be "afraid" of reprisal before acting in those instances.

Why didn't those rallies take 5 years to step forward?

Too much sympathy for the cause of a global Islamic empire.
