YES! THANK YOU for saying that! Not only did I notice that absence in this article, but in numerous other articles and TV interviews with Muslims that I have seen since 9/11. Muslims seem far more concerned about prejudice, discrimination and racial profiling against themselves than with speaking out against the slaughter. And that concerns me.
I think Americans have been awakened to a very dark truth that underlies these attacks-These attacks may have been the work of an active few, but they are cheered by a very large world-wide group - many within our own borders and claiming to be American citizens.
This realization is good because before we can defeat an enemy, we must identify them.
There is no reason to mince words. Anyone who cheers the mass slaughter of innocents is not fit to cohabit a civilized world with people of peace and should be marked for destruction. If Muslims proclaim they cannot peacefully coexist in a world occupied by those of other faiths, they have condemned themselves by their own word as did Pharoah in the time of Moses. If they live by the sword, they shall die by it.
