Behind Boston... You don't get it

Almost all of your diatribe is a complaint that one can't blame all Muslims for the acts of a few. Of course, this is true. But what you have totally missed is that non-Muslims are looking for a strong response from inside Islam - not a continued passive complaint of " I didn't do it." We know you didn't do it, but we also know that radical Islam can only be removed by Muslims themselves. The problem is that this is not happening.

Islam will only get respect on this issue when we see the great majority of non-violent Muslims speak out loudly against their radical leaders. Why aren't Muslim leaders that preach hate being removed? Where are the Muslims screaming for world-wide reform of their pirated religion? Why aren't we seeing this vast majority of Muslims that disagree with radical Islamist thought on TV day in and day out calling for the removal of leaders and the end to the behavior that is radical? Where are the marches of huge numbers of Muslims against radical Islam? Have all contributions to radical Islamists been cut off? Are Muslims loudly pressuring agressive Islamist governments to stop their behavior? I feel certain that Muslims willing to engage in such actions in the US will feel support, be granted media time, be given editorial space, etc. If not, please expose such blockades.

Islam's lack of action and revolt against radicals makes others feel that you comply. (And please don't state that other religions do this or are worse - we know this but they are wrong too and need to act.)

Of course, very few Muslims engage in violence, hatred, and terrorism. However, the lack of firm, drastic, and swift action from the Muslim community to remove this aspect from their religion leads to continued skepticism. How about a media campaign to condemn radical Islam? This would be a good start to back up your claims that the vast majority of Muslims disagree with radical Islam. It will also pave the way for the accpetance that Muslims desire and desrve in the US.
