Why aren't the other countries of the Middle East with strong militaries and wealthy Muslims demanding the radicals of their faith to stop their terrorism in the name of Allah??
Surely the leaders of the Muslim religion who aren't radical could influence the leaders of the Muslim religion who are.

In my opinion, there aren't many Muslim leaders who don't subscribe to the radical line of thought.
And if they do speak out, they are usually executed for their crime.

well... one of two answers could be the reason
1. it's common sense to them that they would be against it, so much so that they don't think need to say it..
to explain further...
the pope and catholic religious leaders didn't condemn McVeigh's actions or terrorists in Ireland ... even though they were said to be a catholic...but, why did no one ask them why they didn't call for an end?
because, it's common sense that they wouldn't need too... it probably never entered their minds that people would think that they were helping terrorism, so they never thought they needed too...
2. because if the leaders did this... the terrorists would say that they are doing it for the U.S... which could be damaging to the leaders...
religious radicals have often hold a lot of religious power...
AND MY LAST POINT IS...
some have spoken out against it... it just seems that the western media always fails to report it... many spoke out against 9-11 after 9-11... and Abbas has been working to try and get Hamas to stop their terrorism and work to bring Palestine together...

And risk their own lives...you're kidding....right....those wimps will never sacrifice their lives with the wealth they accumulated with other countries. But, always comes up with this neutral talk crap, was it neutral when they killed thousands of innocent civilians, terrorist needs to be dealt with NOW and done HARSHLY. For the God loving, and the God who loves all, Muslims, they will always have my respect and support, unlike those whose Jihad is to convert the World...can you believe that, here in America the Jehovah Witnesses are struggling for people to open their doors and talk for a few minutes, let alone they thinking that they will convert all to their religion....give me a break.

They have learnt from Christian leaders whose cultures have killed half a million civilian innocents in the name of eliminating violence and finding fictitious WMDs just in the last three years.
They have noticed that the weapons they hold are made in Christian countries.
They have noticed that America only complains when violence works against it, but has no problem arming countries that kill groups of people it doesn't like.
They also would like to know how come killing tens or hundreds is wrong but raining missiles on unarmed civilians by America and its allies in Lebanon, Somalia, Eritria, Colombia, Vietnam and more is wrong.

Because it is the religious leaders that are behind the Radicals.

some have. the main stream media don't give it much coverage and no one really accepts it anyway. it goes against what some want to believe about muslims.
edit. do you believe the supreme leader of irans statement that nuclear weapons are against islamic belief?

Because the goal is the elimination of Jews in Israel.
They're hoping to create so much chaos in the west we will forfeit Israel for our own safety.

It's what their "religion" is all about. Don't be fooled by those who pretend to be moderate. Words hide bombs.
