Terorists murder innocents on purpose. That is different than "collateral damage". Very different. Regardless of Noam Chomasky;s opinion. My question (to Muslims and nonbelievers alike) is: Are "peaceful" Muslims under a moral obligation to stop the terrorists to the best of their ability or at the very least to speak out forcefully against them? If they simply retreat into silence, are they not in collusion with the murderers?

if a member of your group, religion, or family is commiting crimes. you must speak out against or try to stop them or i think you are just as guilty.
i think it is pitiful that muslims are not flooding the streets protesting against the radical brothers or fighting them.

Thats like saying if a German doesnt speak out against Fascism, they are a Nazi. We cannot continually blame the majority Muslim population for the terrorist minority. Many Muslims speak out regularly against terrorism in all forms, and many help the police with enquiries. To keep demanding that they say sorry and denounce everything is to wind the issue up.

Your question should not be directed at purely Muslims. it may well be directed to the completed international. If speaking out is a "moral criminal responsibility" are Muslims held to a larger popular of moral fiber than some thing of the the those who inhabit this planet? Terrorism is incorrect. in spite of the indisputable fact that the present frame of mind that Muslims and individuals from the middle East are to blame for terrorism is purely stupidity and absence of expertise. it is the duty of the human race to talk out adverse to injustice. There are few issues that individuals of all ethnicitys, religions, and nationalities understand to be incorrect... Killing human beings is one in each and every of them.

No. Absolutely not.
Btw, your premise is incorrect. There is no difference between what you call murder of innocent ppl than what we call collateral damage. Why not? Because they are at war against us just as we are at war against them BUT they are actually justified to defend their country from occupation where we have no justifiable reason to occupy them.

I find your question arrogant and insulting. If a person isn't a Muslim, it doesn't make him or her a "nonbeliever". I've endured 911 as well as the insanity in the Middle East. I don't need jerks like you dropping crap like this on me!!!!!!!!

Oh, so now they don't even deserve the right to remain silent. If they remain silent is for protection of their life not to protect the terrorist. They protect their life from the terrorist and the US.

well they all look alike for a reason, so we can't tell who the enemy is. if you look like a terrorist then you must be one.
if we see someone dressed in bluejeans and a old t-shirt wearing a john deere cap , we would call him a redneck since he fits the mold.................

Is their silence screaming acceptance and approval? Sure appears that way.
