A delegation of high-ranking Muslim leaders from Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Egypt stopped in Chicago on Monday to offer a voice of "tolerance and moderation" Isn't that special!
after the Sept. 11 attacks and urge an end to Muslim stereotypes, particularly in the media.
Saudi Arabia, eh? So "tolerance" must surely mean that the open practice of (and adherence to) other faiths would be permitted, right? No doubt they will welcome Christian missionaries into their country.
Suuuure they will.

Muslims need to be taking responsibility for Islamic terrorism -- not dodging it. There are too many Muslim sypathizers with terrorism for this guy to say that terrorism has NOTHING to do with Islam.
ISLAM IS THE ENEMY.

"Sept. 11 had nothing to do with Islam and Muslims": This guy is in TOTAL denial No. He's just practicing "spin". His objective is to deflect US public disapproval regarding Islam and Muslims. The truth or falsity of his statements is irrelevant to him.

A show of good faith on the tolerance issue would be to allow Christians and Jews in each of these respective countries to proselytize Muslims. (Hehe)

Until the majority of "real and peace loving" Muslims agressively participate in the war against radical Islamic murders (and stop making excuses)--- there can be NO DENIAL of the suspicion that perhaps Islam is the enemy.
There have been TOO MANY recent examples that bear truth to the charge that Islam is simply murderous cult.
How long, before the civilized world begins to recognize the murderous gangs and forces in Islam as no better than an Arab KKK?

Haven't we heard this kind of thing before? E.g.: "The experience of the Soviet Union is not evidence that communism is a flawed system, because the economic system that wrecked the Soviet Union wasn't
true communism. If they had just had the right people in charge and done it just like "the book" said, it would have worked."
I think it was Hayek who pointed out that one of the chief flaws of communism is that doing what the book says causes the wrong people to become in charge. If a system permits leadership positions with great power and little accountability to the people, then the worst elements of society will tend to gravitate to these positions. To borrow a phrase from Deming: "Built right into the system!"
Perhaps this is an intrinsic property of Islam as well. If "the book" calls for a system where the clergy have too much power, then "peaceful" Islam will continually (re-)evolve into "nutcake" Islam.
As people like Martin Luther and the Whigs pointed out long ago, the Churches of Rome and England also exhibited these tendencies before they were reined in by their own societies.

It is pretty well accepted now that the reason 9-11 happened is because politicians and enemies within had so spoked the FBI and CIA into political correctness that we avoided, not failed but avoided, doing what was necessary to protect ourselves. This "delegation" is just another Trojan horse to keep us from interferring with their plans to destroy the USA and Israel. Wake up America!!

Saudi Arabia" Eyes glaze over, mind turns off, enuff said.
