Finally Getting It
I'm glad someone at the NYT is finally getting the fact that the biggest problem within the Muslim community is the lack of guidance shown by Clerics and Mullahs in condemning the radicals like bin Laden and al Qaeda.
As Tom Friedman points out today, the only fatwah handed down was for 'Satanic Verses' author Salman Rushdie, who was sentenced to death by the leader of Iran, what, ten years ago? Apparently Rushdie, who dared to criticize the prophet Mohammed, is perceived to be a bigger problem than the murderous thugs who perpetrated 9/11, the bombings in Spain and now in Britain.
Friedman goes on:
"It is essential that the Muslim world wake up to the fact that it has a jihadist death cult in its midst. If it does not fight that death cult, that cancer, within its own body politic, it is going to infect Muslim-Western relations everywhere. Only the Muslim world can root out that death cult."
