Why isn't there a louder outcry in the Muslim world against terrorism? Islam is a peaceful religion and a lot of the things that extremists are doing and saying are against the teachings of Islam. Why don't more Muslims step up to explain that this is not the way Muslims think? Even Muslim websites do not do this! Please explain to me why more Muslims aren't more outspoken about controlling extremism in their own religion? I find that most other religion's fundamentalist are usually mocked or looked down upon but there just doesn't seem to be the same reaction in the fundamentalism in Islam. Why is this?

I'd hardly call it a minor revenge when thousands of people are getting killed, and not only non-Muslims, but Muslims are getting killed as well for that same "revenge" and they are seen as "martyrs" though they technically did not even want to be martyred. Muslims died in 9/11 as well when they were working in the WTC but too many people seem to overlook that. More Muslims die in the Iraqi resistance than American soldiers. Most of the deaths in the Sharm-el-sheik bombings were Muslims working at the hotel.

I totally agree with you. I am a muslim and it is sad how a majority of muslims living in the U.S. and other non muslim countries aren't even standing up for themselves against this predijuce!!! WE MUSLIMS need to tell others whats really going on and how we are being treated unfairly! I think that some muslims can't stand up for themselves because they are afraid. But there is nothing to be afraid of. You must have pride in what you believe in. Its better to fight for your rights to the grave, then to simply run away from it.

terrorism is mostly a made up word the government uses to control us, for instance 911. The president slipped on friday mentioning explosives in his speech. All the evidence you'll ever need is there. the news media is run mainly by the government and there words are chosen by the government as well. You dont get all the facts, just what they want you to here. look at the NWO speech George Bush Sr. gave on 9-11-1991.

Terrorists risk their lives. Anti-terrorists must also risk their lives, or else they are cowards and, in effect, accomplices to terrorism. In any war, a small group can win if it is the only one fighting. The arena is a killing zone, don't enter it if you're just going to fight with words and demonstrations.

BECAUSE those that do are murdered! Not all muslims agree or even defend or subscribe to what the terrorists are doing but they live in fear of reprisals... they have to live there, we don't.

Muslims know if they speak against other Muslims (or question Islam) they will die.
Great religion, eh?

A cry against terrorism is by definition a cry to war. This is not the act of a peaceful people.
