I hate to break it to you, but our country (U.S) would be in serious trouble if ordinary Americans stopped fighting terrorists. Why is it so much to ask of Muslim Americans to speak out?
Just how many muslim americans do you know?

Here from another poster:


YouTube - ‪Muslim Peace March: Glenn Beck‬‎
(Searching YouTube for "Muslim Peace" serves up many other videos on the subject - personal videos made by Muslims, news coverage of protests, etc.)

Muslims march to protest terrorism - Aftenposten - News in English - Aftenposten.no (http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article924678.ece - broken link)

Millions of Indian Muslims Protest Terrorism, Surrender Holiday Spirit: Media Silent | MarcGopin.com

Protest planned to tell world: Islam is peaceful | freep.com | Detroit Free Press

http://www.freep.com/article/2010072...n-missionaries (http://www.freep.com/article/20100722/NEWS02/100722046/Lawyer-to-hold-rally-for-Christian-missionaries - broken link) (this one is quite interesting - a Muslim attorney hosting a rally to protest the arrest of 4 Christians here in the US who were arrested for rallying AGAINST Islam and promoting hate speech AGAINST Islam at an Arab American festival)

German Muslims Protest Terrorism (Germany)


Other relevant sites and stories relating to peaceful Muslims who do not support terrorism:

Muslim Leaders Send Peace Message - TIME

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/07/us/07religion.html (which explains a bit about how peaceful sects of Islam are persecuted by violent fundamentalist sects, and what the peaceful sects are trying to do about it... Islam, like Christianity, has multiple sects/denominations)

yes there are a few couragious Muslims. But, I find it ironic that you are using Glenn Beck to boost your point of view.

When Glenn Beck is an appropriate citation, it's appropriate to cite him.

Hint to the mods: A thread like this could never exist about black or jews. Just imagine someone asking "Is it possible to drum out the X million of blacks or jews?"
Why is there a double standard?

Don't you think the other thread is a sarcastic reaction to this thread to see how the Christians feel about this? To detect some double standard?

But again how many muslims do you personally know?
