What do you mean by "moslem power structure"? As far as I know, no such thing exists. There is no Moslem equivalent of the Pope, for instance. In other words, no one speaks for all of Islam.
I do seem to recall that several organizations of Moslems in this country have condemned the attacks. I am sure you can find their statements, if you really try.
Oh yes!
And if you noticed carefully, once they realized some serious wup ass was on its way, several Muslim countries which have been harboring terrorists for decades found real "religion" too.
Sure. There are, however, Mullahs (clerics with a small following) and Ayatollahs (clerics with a large following), according to my understanding. Please correct me if I am in error on this point.
The very fact that there are many quasi-independent clerics who have not acted is disturbing.

Another poster was kind enough to locate three such items. However, there is a difference between saying the attacks were bad, and condemning in strong, clear language the vermin that murdered our people. As nearly as I can tell, this has not been done.
Note too that Afghanistan has threatened to declare a Jihad against the US if that country is bombed. Where are the moslem clerics who will return the favor? If they are in fact independent, why doesn't one - at least one! - declare a Jihad against the taliban? Or Oscuma bint Larden?
As I said earlier, their silence causes me to wonder.
