how much more has to happen before Muslims have had enough atrocities committed in their name, and rise up in protest.

Right on target. Silence = tacit approval. It is way past time and only a handful have spoken up. If you know someone of this faith, tell them. Don't bother to ask, just tell them.

Silence = tacit approval

That's what I've been saying to all of the "most muslims are peaceful" crowd. If only 10% really are violent then how come the other 90% remain silent?

Damn straight! Worth repeating!

Silence = tacit approval

It's like the wife that knows her new husband is molesting his step-daughter. And does nothing to help her own child. Evil turns a blind eye to evil.

TEL AVIV, Israel, Oct. 15 (UPI) -- Police Tuesday detained a top Muslim cleric for some three hours on suspicion of incitement to violence and terror and expressing support for suicide bombings.

Police said it questioned and "warned" Sheikh Ekrima Sabri and then released him without conditions. It will transfer the material to the attorney general, who has ordered the investigation, and who is to decide whether the prosecution should take any further action.

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has appointed Sabri to the top religious post, mufti of Palestine, which entails delivering the main Friday sermon at the al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, Islam's third holiest site.

Sabri has made no secret of his support for the intifada and has called suicide-bombing attacks "martyrdom operations."

The Justice Ministry's spokesman, Yaakov Galanti, told United Press International that Attorney General Eliakim Rubinstein ordered the investigation following an interview that Sabri gave the Emirates newspaper al-Bayan al-Imratiya last June.

In that interview Sabri said, "Legally and religiously we do not see any reason for stopping it (the suicide attacks) and it is a successful kind of resistance."

The mufti claimed the Palestinians have forced settlers to escape their homes and blamed the Arab regimes for failing to support the Palestinian cause.

According to police told his investigators he has called for "a verbal struggle, not terror."

Sabri did not talk to reporters when he left the police station and could not be reached by phone later on.

Several months ago police questioned a Greek-Orthodox cleric Hanna Nasr who has also supported the intifada and a spokeswoman for the Jerusalem police said they are still "examining what he said."
