I doubt they would.

So why don't they use their power and status to combat this

Another example would be the Fort Hood incident

So, why are the non violent Muslims quiet on this issue, especially the ones who

They're not, a simple search would tell you that.

Is it that you're just too lazy or too close-minded that you've obviosly made no effort to make that search?

A simple search would give you more than 6,000,000 other hits.

That is if you're not too lazy or close-minded to look.

Why are we in that throwback to the stone age country?

Because we got tired of reading news articles about women and children being herded into stadiums and butchered by the taliban.

Because we were sickened by news reports of public beheadings by the taliban....

We execute criminals. As for your other claim, I have no idea what you are talking about.

Ali is in very poor health.

Jabbar values his privacy.

Why do you expect them to? If a Christian does something evil do you expect all the famous Christians to speak out against it? Do they?

I find it interesting that the mainstream media doesn't cover this much. Hmmm. I wonder why. Is it because Obama promised the middle east to fight negative stereotypes about Islam? Something seems to click into place here.

Yes, I do and yes, they do. The media just doesn't cover it unless they can point a finger and laugh at it.
