Reasonable Muslims must voice concerns
Is Islam really one of the world's great religions?
When I read about Islamic clerics offering to pay for the killing of cartoonists, or in Afghanistan a cleric requiring the execution of someone converting out of Islam, am I hearing correctly or are these clerics guilty of murder for hire?
These kinds of threats are tactics used by the worst of the human race to intimidate those they control into submission, not to God, but to themselves and their henchmen. Reasonable and good Muslims, where are you when we need you to speak out against what is not only a form of terrorism against non-Islamic people, but also against yourselves?
What will happen if you do not speak out and the non-Islamic world is provoked to critical mass against what they will see as a unified Islam composed of sociopaths?

Now I will probably be flogged for this, but could the answer be that they are afraid of becoming the hunted? After all we constantly hear Good Muslims tell us that we are painting their religion in a bad light. Maybe that is true, and maybe Christianity can be construde as brutal as well, but I don't fear someone grabbing me and killing more for saying so either.

lol i think that HBO needs to do a series on regular muslims...or atleast do like they do in the series "Big Love" where it deals with polygamists and gives them more of a next door neighbor feel.
