Why aren't Muslim-Americans not showing on the streets and protesting these terror acts?

I would love to see thousands of Muslim american denouncing this men hijacking their beliefs. But that has not happen and I wonder why.

So denouncing and condemning the acts isn't enough? Now they have to take off from work and protest in the street so others can feel more at ease?

You've been told why before but your liberal self can't handle the truth. Besides who would they be protesting anyway? A useless endeavor.

The perception is that they do not condone these acts enough.

So when one person does something others that are somehow similar due to race, creed or religion must protest?

Nonsense...

Anyone believing that perception is quite literally too dumb to live and their opinion is likewise to dumb to be heeded.

Actually the facts are the facts but perception is reality.

Several Muslin groups have condemned the terrorists act.
Do they need to come grovel for forgiveness (for something THEY did not do) at your door?
Maybe they could all get together and get a card for every non Muslim here, all of them sign it, and mail one to every house.

Do you apologize for any criminal action perpetrated by someone of your religion?

Looks like they are doing what they can to let people know that acts of terror are not condoned.

My point is (and it is just an opinion) maybe the reaction might need to be a lil more public. Please do not quote some website.

Let me give you an example: when hispanics wanted immigration reform marches were organized , thousands were on the street.

That has never happened on the muslim community when it comes to terrorism. If I love my GOD so much (allah) I would be protesting anyone hijacking my religion.
