Here's an interesting news story.
http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiapc....ap/index.html I've complained in the past that Muslims haven't shown much public action desiring peace. There hasn't been a very visible outcry on the part of many Muslims against Islamic extremism- certainly not anything remotely close to the outcry against the Denmark photos of Muhammad. The story I've just linked is the first major sign I've seen that goes against this. It shows a big public action on the part of Muslims against violence. Quote:
This doesn't mean there aren't a very large number of Muslims who do support violence. I don't view them as a small number at all, and their ideology is plainly spreading rapidly. But it is a major public action which opposes violence. That certainly helps.
