They have. Over and over and over and over.
You act like American Muslims have some kind of pipeline to al-Qaeda, where, if they just say "stop it" enough, that al-Qaeda will just say, "Oh, OK."
Most American Muslims hate those crazies, and would just like to forget all about them. Why do they have to take some kind of special responsibility because they share a religion that has been bastardized by the Wahabis?
Do you take special responsibility for the Klan because you happen to be white?
You don't seem to understand that the Wahabis are the ones correctly interpreting the Koran.
If the Muslims take over and say "Worship Allah or die", which side do you think the American Muslims will come down on? Don't fool yourself.
That is a very disengenuous comparison, and I find your sanctimony to be ridiculous in the extreme.
Extremist Muslims are committing all these murders IN THE NAME OF THEIR SHARED MUSLIM RELIGION.
Are you saying that they are entitled to remain mum on something that significant, but we are not entitled to resent their silence?
So moderate muslims are are afraid of "people like us?" Well, no wonder! There are Christian zealots running rampant all around the world, planting bombs in their sneakers, strapping bombs on their teenagers, firing missiles into airliners, enabling terrorist cells from within their churches, flying airliners into buildings, planting bombs in teenage discos, holding public celebrations in the streets over 3000 cold-blooded murders, and calling for the murder of all the rest of the non-believers.
Hell, I'd be scared of us too!
That responsibility is certainly heaped upon every white person in this country. White man's burden.
