I think the burden is on american muslims to take the lead in condemning this nonsense

It is, Muslims have been totally passive in this, and that is as far as I will go in condemning Islam. The fanatics who have been operating under cover of Islam don't represent Islam. Muslims have to speak up, speak out against terrorism, and so far it has been very quiet.

Perhaps the Nation of Islam can show other Muslims the way to go. Farrakhan said today that he is willing to boot the Beltway Sniper from the Nation of Islam because of acting in a manner opposite to the practice of Islam. All the terrorists should be booted from Islam. It's the Christian thing to do.

My friend, if you think Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam can show anyone, Muslim or otherwise, a good way to go you are whistling in the wind. Louie is only doing some very obvious CYA, because one of his cultist adherents took things to the limit. The NOI is a racist, America-hating, anti-Semitic hate group - if their skin was white instead of black they would universally be lumped together with the KKK. Anyone who even for a moment gives them credence or respect is being shortsighted and unwise. Don't ever let your enemies seduce you - and unless you are an angry black Muslim with a desire for world domination and the subjugation of Jews and all whites, the NOI is your enemy and hates you.

Surely, you jest?

You would have the man who announced that "God will destroy America at the hands of Muslims" show Muslims the way?

Converts to Violence?

This thread was started in deference to the Iraqis who had the courage to voice their support of the overthrow of Saddam, and you would look to the man who told Saddam that American Muslims are praying for an Iraqi victory in a war with the United States, to "show Muslims the way?"

If you believe Farrakhan's statement today was anything more than a self-serving attempt to distance himself from the results of the monster he has fostered -- blind hatred -- you are sadly and grossly mistaken.
