In light of the recent bombing attempt on US synagogues, dont you think its high time that CAIR (Counsel of American-Islamic Relations) began to lead the charge to separate extremist Islam elements from the so called mainstream?
Its high time that they and other Muslim leaders held press conferences in Britain and the US that publicly lambaste these terrorists. Its Islam that needs to lead the charge here. |

Somehow I don't see that happening.
Aren't you racist for even assuming that it had anything to do with Islam!? How dare you!!! |

That makes McShillit a bigot for trying to hold anyone who happens to Muslim responsible for the actions of a handful of fanatics. |

Its easy to resolve.
All these guys have to do is to call up the producers at any one of the major TV outlets and say "hey, we're inviting the foremost muslim leaders in the free world to NY to hold a press conference to make international condemnation of hezbollah, al qaeda, and the like." Every major news station would show up and cover it. It would do several things. It would help to assuage the fears of Americans who are unsure of where Western Islam as a whole stands on the issue of terrorism. It would encourage other moderate muslims around the world to stand on their own. It would do alot toward winning the hearts and minds of those muslims in foreign nations who only hear "death to the infidels" propaganda from Imams. Why wont this happen? Because the minute that these folks go on record, in public, on television where Al Jazeera frequencies reach the darkest caves in the muslim world, they will become targets. Their lives become in jeopardy, especially when they set foot in the countries of their origin. Its the same reason why our press caves in, and why people are too intimidated to stand up to terrorists. They see their peers killed or in hiding and they are too afraid to risk those their life or their freedom. Like children bullied into submission. The ball is in the court of the moderate muslims. Its their job to police their own. Its their responsibility to our country and its citizens, and even more so its their responsibility to their oppressed and endangered people.

That situation would allow for major western imams to rise to the fore, issuing their own edicts to muslims around the world that provide alternatives to the extremists imams that hold sway over the muslim world from the middle east and africa. It would be a major step in the move of islam from a midieval theocracy into a modern philosophical religion. Here in America, we have the largest media platform on the planet. Our news makes its way to just about every corner of the globe. We're definitely the voice of the west to the world. Especially in the middle east and africa, places where terrorism flourishes. Instead of the widespread public scorn and condemnation of terrorism that comes with a major press conference, we have organizations like CAIR who work sometimes against american interests to defend people who defend terrorist groups like hezbollah and hamas. Its time that islam grew a set and stood up to these murderers who dictate to them their religion by fear of death. The only way that terrorism will be defeated is if muslims defeat it themselves. Otherwise, this is a cancer that will plague our free societies for generations. And moderate muslims will continue to suffer the public and political consequences in the west. Why? Because they allow the darkness to exist in their own house. They have not shed light on it themselves, addressed it, and moved on in the best interest for all. They shouldnt wonder why people are skeptical of their allegiance, because they have not done what is necessary to make sure that their allegiance is known. You can be loyal to allah and to your country as well, right? At least people hope so. It would do moderate muslims alot of good if they themselves made their own public relations statements instead of leaving everyone around the world to guess at it.

The idea of encouraging terrorism as a US citizen because people from your home country view the US as imperialist invaders should not be considered an acceptable or even reasonable position to hold here stateside. A person who wishes death upon their own citizens because of something happening in another country should not be considered a loyal American. Its one thing to disagree, its another entirely to encourage terrorism. In their relative silence, moderate muslims have chosen to defer to the leaders issuing fatwahs and edicts from nations that view the US as imperialist invaders and respond with death edicts and fatwahs. That is a problem. The consequence is that moderate muslims are not meeting their obligation to the country that they live in in terms of public relations. |
