No -- but you really have to wonder why the dead silence from Obama when it comes to these atrocities -- apparently he cares only about Islamic Syrian rebels, nothing about innocent victims.
I know. The silence is deafening and the message is clear.

Clear as what? Give me a break. Honestly, what can any decent person make of all these attrocities in the last month?! Al Quaeda is now running amok in Africa, and what the hell are Americans supposed to do about it? Or even say about it? In the case of Syria, there was a clear bad actor, who crossed the line. In the case of these terrorist attacks, we are stuck with vacuous saber rattling. "We will tolerate terrorism NOWHERE IN THE WORLD!" Meaning the good old sequestered, anti-tax, deficit-ridden US of A has written a blank check for war on a million fronts.
I think Obama has been (rightly) pilloried for letting himself get painted into a corner on Syria. Perhaps the smart thing to do is not to say anything, but be gathering intelligence to help prevent future attacks.
What are muslims doing to stop this? As fellow muslims they have more chance of stopping the violence than we do. We are infidels whose lives have no value to them. When will muslims stand united against violence against us? It's not that we blame them. It's what they are not doing that is bothersome. They say "I didn't do it, don't blame me" yet they do nothing to try and stop it as if they have no religious obligation to stop violence in the name of their religion. When will islam denounce the violence? I would love to have a dozen strong muslim leaders proclaiming that the koran does not condone violence. I would love to see the muslim religion make a declaration that the passages in the koran that call for them to lie in wait and kill us are no longer part of their religion. The problem is those verses are there and they do not denounce them. They ignore them. Well, some of them ignore them. Others don't and go on shooting sprees.
Your links bring up pop ups that block viewing the text and they are not mainstream. Got anything from mainstream news or national television? I'm not hearing anything but people ignoring the recent attacks. I also have not heard islam denounce the violent passages in the koran. One has to wonder why they do not address the passages that call for them to lie in wait and ambush us and kill us, which is what these gunmen are doing. Exactly what the koran tells them to do. THAT is what is frightening. Those doing this are doing what their holy book teaches them to do. Unfortunately, because their holy book calls us infidels, we don't have a voice to fight this. If any of them care, they must fight it. If they don't care we're at war.

If the terrorist were threatening the Nigerian delta oil, we would be there pretty darn quick..
More bullets of love from the religion of peace. More "extremists"? So what was the crime of these kids... oh yeah, getting a "Western" education. When are people going to wake up and smell the gunpowder: islam is not a "religion" like modern religions. It is mid-20th century Japanese Imperialism, a Nazism, a Dark Ages christianity. Destroying cities, bombing churches, shooting up malls, bombing planes, hacking off the heads of gays, hacking off the heads of journalists, bombing airports, killing women for being "too western", raping women for not covering up in public, shooting up dormitories... how much more is he civilized world going to "tolerate" in the face of this insanity?
they do what they've always done, publicly denounce the attacks in the language of the non-muslim country where they currenty live and praise the attacks in private amongst themselves in their native language.
