He *could*, but would he? The awful part of 9/11 was discovering how little, how weak, how grudging was the response of the so-called Muslim moderates.
We feel free to criticize Pat Robertson, and frequently do so, but he hasn't killed anybody nor issued murderous "fatwahs." Most of the time he annoys the heck out of me, but it's just crazy to draw an equivalency between Christians who are sometimes nuisances and mullahs who murder.
I don't hear many Muslims condemn their mullahs.
The christian church did not stand behind this man with a street celebration.
