It should be obvious to you (it is to everyone else) that Muslims are't denouncing the attacks...they're denouncing our self denfense! For starters, if Muslims want to differentiate themselves from fundamentalist terrorists, they could denounce the terrorists and the attacks...then they could simply state, "I am a Muslim and I do NOT support fundmentalist Islam". That's really easy, but it's not being done. Just the fact that you would ask what to do tells me 1) you're not doing anything and 2) you don't really want to do anything... like an 8 year old child.
There is nothing xenophobic about fearing those who have sworn to kill you... particularly if there is no denial of wanting to kill you!
And I say an intelligent person should see that it's irrational and paranoid.
You can't be serious! It's irrational and paranoid to fear those who have sworn to kill you???!!!! Give me a break. You've gone Taliban on me.
If Muslims would (gasp) go out on a limb and deny that they want to kill infidels, then you would have a little credibility. But as it is, and as it has been since 9/11 and before, Muslims don't deny wanting to end non-muslim lives. Indeed there is support for the fundamentalists "doing their dirty work".
