A top US Senator urged Muslim leaders across the world to issue a slew of religious edicts denouncing terrorism and warned that mosques in "many places" are enabling terrorists.
Senator Dianne Feinstein spoke in the wake of Saturday's bombings in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh, where 88 people were killed, and the July 7 attacks in London, where 52 people and four suicide bombers died. A new attack in London failed Thursday.
"I think until the mosques in the Muslim world and the imams in the Muslim world in a major way issue fatwa after fatwa denouncing jihad and denouncing terror that we're not going make any progress," the California Democrat told CNN.
"I don't see many, if any, major imams throughout all of the Muslim countries coming together and saying: Enough of this. Stop. This is not Islam. You know, we object to it," she said.
"Until there is something like an excommunication that would take place in the Catholic Church where, if you are going to engage in this thing, do not frequent our mosques, you don't see this," Feinstein said.
She added: "What you see in many places is that the mosque becomes an enabler one way or another."

Democrats.
Maybe if she did something really courageous and denounced her fellow dims by name for trying to hurt our country, I might have more respect for her. But at least this is a start. Now let's see if it's a one-time thing.
The one US victim was probably a friend of hers.
Welcome to the party, pal!
Despite her being Jewish, what she is calling for is what needs to happen. I loathe Diane Feinstien, but she is on target on this one
Feinstein-"renounce terrorism, lets hear it, hello, is anybody there, is this thing on (taps mike) hello, hello? I make alot of money, I just can't pass it. man , what a tough audience....BANG< BOOM!!!!Crash, sirens etc.
Will Difi hold her breath?
Feinstein is stronger than many in her party. She has some outrageously Liberal views, but she has some positives as well.
Denouncing is just lip service, informing on their terrorist buddies and acting on it would get a lot more respect and be more credible.
Your definition of "top" is certainly different from mine.
There were a couple of times when Feinstein bucked the DNC line and went against the bosses. She does have a maverick streak in her.
I certainly wouldn't worry about her safety over this. Unlike most law-abiding Californians....
Feinstein has a concealed carry permit.
Listen loud and clear: AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN.
Understanding Islam has been really simple for, oh about 1300 years or so. It offers three choices: submit, kill, or be killed. It is a pagan psychosis, masquerading as a religion.
The problem for Christendom (and Seculardumb) has been developing the courage to accept the obvious. The same can be said for many of Islam's adherents. IMHO, "moderate Islam" is comprised of those either in denial of its true historic precepts or those engaged in a covert means of conquest, later to adopt its more unpleasant means when opportunity affords. There is no in-between.
For Feinswine to demand "moderate Islam" to denounce violence is to deny reality and put those who might be moderate into the position of outing themselves as opposed to the plain word of Muhammed. Seeing as the word of the Koran explicitly mandates killing infidels, she is offering no choice at all, and she knows it.
She's a gun grabbing POS.
Pobody's nerfect.
Yep, that'll work. Good news, the war is over!
At least Feinstein is not quite as dumb or stupid as Boxer or Pelosi and not as much of a racist bitch as Waters.
I do not see believe in the myth of the "moderate Muslim" as a positive. It is just as much a denial of reality as her "guns kill people" beliefs.
Do they drug test Senators?
Quick! Quick, people. Somebody offer
to sell her the Brooklyn Bridge. She
may well buy it, too.
