Moslems also need to condemn the Moslem killing of Christians in Africa and Indonesia.

No, she's not "loosing" it. She's right on. The Mohammedans, instead of condemning the attacks, are whining about non-existent 'hate crimes".

The ones who are losing it are those who think the most important thing to do is to make sure that not one Mohammedan anywhere on earth is offended by the USA.

This issue has got very confused.

The problem is that the moderates reacted in a moderate way, while the extremist reacted in an extremist way.

The Muslim leaders followed a very old fashion British way of doing things which was writing a letter condemning the terrorist outrage and offering condolences sighing it and posting the letter to the Times, the Telegraph the Guardian, the Daily mail and all the other quality and Broad sheet Papers.

The extremists do what they always do go out on the street screaming shouting, mouthing useless slogans and burning flags.

Guess who gets the most publicity.

It is a well established fact and in my own opinion a sad reflection on are media that demonstrations involving nutters is more newsworthy than a respectable march and offers of sympathy.

"People need to know that out of over 6000 people who died in this terrible incident, over 1500 of them were Muslims."

My A**.

Actually, as opposed to "losing it", she is making a very insightful point. Have you seen detailed statements by Islamic leaders in the US detailing how bin Laden is outside the pale of Islamic thought? I haven't. Have you seen detailed Islamic theological arguements seperating bin Laden's Fatwah from right thinking Islam? I haven't.

I have only seen expressions of sadness for the loss, very general statements that Islam is a loving religion, and a failure to make a detailed theological response putting the Jihad, as practiced by these terrorists, completely outside Islamic thought. Go Maggie!

"Many Muslim lives have been lost in America. We don't see this attack in terms of nationality, colour or creed, just as loss of lives.

No, it was just an accident that it happened in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. Duh!

No. She's calling the phonies to account for their crocodile tears and lack of any change in their behavior.

There is serious division within the Muslim world. In the West we heard a couple of formal apologies, and are now expected to act as if NO Muslim supports the terrorists. In fact, many Muslims DO support such acts of terrorism. Lady Thatcher (as always) has the courage to say so, while the rest of the West wants to ignore reality to avoid political incorrectness.

"As a result of the US attacks the lives of ordinary Muslims have been affected."

I would guess that it has affected all of us. I would agree with the Ms. Thatcher about the lack of outrage in the muslim community. All that I have heard from them is about how Americans deserve this because...........(insert various political/economic reasons), or hear of them celebrating the wounding of "the great satan."

"The Muslim community has had to suffer twice - once when someone dear to them died, the second time when people say things like this."

See everyone, there you have it. The Muslim community is the most victimized group in post-attack America. Now we should all feel sorry for them.

Wake me up when this culture of victimization is over!

Maggie isn't losing it. 80% of people who called London's premier radio station LBC this morning agreed with her and that included many Moslems who were against her, so the figure would be higher for Non-Moslems.
"Women wearing the traditional dress are more or less housebound" quotes one Moslem leader. Come on now, how disengenuous can you get.That sort of thing has never bothered them before.

Where is this documented? It's highly unlikely because 1 out of 4 Americans is not Muslim.

Maggie is correct. The Muslim religious leaders need to step up to the plate here. God is much harder on those who claim religious leadership then He is on those who are led when they ignore or deliberately misrepresent His Word.

These men not only endanger their own souls by not speaking up, they endanger the millions who look to them for direction. The Quaran does not condone the murder of innocents.
