Wow. Why didn’t I think of this? Sensible Muslims are not silent about Mad Muslims, says Stephen Schwartz. They just aren’t being reported.
The problem is more that of “MSM silence” than of “Muslim silence.” . . . MSM silence about moderate Islam discourages the recruitment of moderates to anti-terrorist activism, but also deters the solidarity of non-Muslims who could otherwise assist moderate Muslims.
For instance, the Fort Dix Six, four of whom are ethnic Albanians, stimulated an anti-Albanian binge (though with no mention of Mother Teresa, of course). Not reported was this from “the Presidency of the Albanian Muslim Community in the U.S. and Canada”:
We condemn all acts of terrorism. … [We] fully support United States Government efforts to end terror. . . . We are against all those ‘so-called Muslims’ who misuse and humiliate Islam and create ugly images of the Muslim people… We pray to Almighty God to save and protect the United States.”
Does stuff like that not pass the fit-to-print test?
