While I agree with, any muslim who fails to spontaneously condemn the terrorists is showing Prima Facie evidence of at least supporting the radicals.

Had a real strange conversation couple of years ago with a young muslim who seemed intent on converting me.
I told him about the Israeli family who was slaughtered by terrorists who even stabbed to death the babies in the crib and how the Palestinians passed out candy in the street in celebration. When I told him I could never support a culture so depraved that they wouldn't condemn such a monstrous crime, he went on a tirade about "our women" being raped; the kid is Pakistani so it was obvious I was dealing with a closed mind.

An odd thing to go off on, since they generally blame and punish the woman who is raped. That always baffled me, until I read The Afghan Campaign, by Stephen Pressfield, who explained well. In their culture women are the property of their male relatives. It is the duty of those relatives to ensure they remain pure. If a woman is raped, then the male family members failed in that duty, which brings shame on them all. If however she was to blame, it's not their fault, and as long as they punish (kill) her, they have done their duty, and gotten rid of an inconvenient reminder that maybe they didn't. No shame. Utterly barbaric, but it makes sense in a warped way. It actually goes back thousands of years, way before Islam, but Sharia codified it, and prescribes it for everyone.
