Evil Muslim conspiracy...

A remarkable story of unity and taking a stand against hatred and intolerance. Do you have any others?I'm sure I can find hundreds, probably thousands, of stories of Islamic violence and terrorism. How many other similar stories of unity can you find? No, never mind similar, how many other stories of any kind can you find where Muslims take a stand, even if nothing more than symbolic, against Islamic violence?Don't misunderstand me. I agree with your general sentiment that Islam is no more a religion of violence than is Christianity or Judaism. But one story of one act of unity, however stirring, doesn't begin to balance against the countless acts of Islamic violence to which Muslims respond with resounding silence.

I don't either.

Thank you for that, Dr.By my rough count, there are 65 statements there. (I haven't looked at the other collections because it's really too much work and I'm not feeling well.) Almost 2/3 of them (42) were in the aftermath of 9/11, and none of them were before 9/11.Is this resounding silence? No, I suppose it isn't. Do I expect them to issue new statements for every act of terrorism? Of course not. Also, I recognize that some of those statements come from multiple persons or organizations.
