They're not remaining mum. You want them to denounce, and denounce, and denounce, and denounce, every day, all day, all the time.
American Muslims have not been silent, Lili. They really haven't.
What American Muslims have done the things you rave about in your last paragraph?
Extremist Muslims are committing all these murders IN THE NAME OF THEIR SHARED MUSLIM RELIGION.
No they're not. They're hijacking Islam to justify a POLITICAL AGENDA.
Well, why not? Their wahabi brethren are killing and killing and killing all the time! If American muslims are not remaining mum, why is it I am not seeing or hearing them? (Oh, wait... that's right... I DID see one Muslim woman on O'Reilly last week, demanding that the public schools accomodate the muslim diet and their 5 prayer sessions/day)
If they are so afraid of "people like us" isn't it incumbent upon them to work a little harder to reassure us? WE are the ones being threatened and massacred, after all.
"They're hijacking Islam to justify a POLITICAL AGENDA."
Their POLITICAL AGENDA agenda is to turn the whole world into 1999 Afghanistan, in the name of their shared RELIGION. I'm sorry, Sinkspur, but the two are just not mutually exclusive here.
