When Muslims begin to hang their own for terrorism in the name of Islam, I'll buy the argument. I have never heard of such an event. Many Muslims in the United States cheered the destruction of the Trade Towers. We should never forget that.

While I agree with you on all points, I choose to look at this article as progress. I think this may be how change starts.
When you have clerics and imams standing up and saying, "Look, we are not about violence, and it is the duty of every muslim to shun it.", then I think it is good.
I didn't read anything in the article that said, "Islam has NEVER been about violence."
If this generation of islamic kids get taught something other than, "It's okay to murder non-believers, especially American ones." then I say we have about 25 years to go before the middle east joins the rest of the civilized world.
