Now if all Muslims would do the same.

"The white marble of the ancient Sufi shrine in Lahore, where suicide bombers killed 43 people last week, seems unblemished by the attack. The blackened rubble has been swept away. The saint who died here almost a thousand years ago continues his slumber beneath the carved arches and echoing halls.


But the moderate Muslims who consider this the holiest shrine in Pakistan say they have finally woken up. Leaders of the Barelvi, the country's largest sect, gathered from across the subcontinent Thursday to declare war against the Taliban and those who support them.


“This is the beginning of a new movement,” said Haji Hanif Tayyab, a retired government minister, prompting a full-throated roar from thousands of people waving flags and shouting slogans."





Now let's see if their bite is as big as their roar.

We can stand shoulder to shoulder with these Muslims. I wonder if there will be any more of them making the same declaration of war.
