#1 Wow... this guy almost gets it. He needs to make one final leap as a Muslim: in America, Islam ("submission") must mean "submission to God", and NOT "submission to mullah". That is a distinction American Muslims must make, very emphatically. For if they don't, and continue to tacitly support the jihadis, they will someday be gone. Or dead.

#2 What has it been, 2 1/2 years since Sept 11, 2001?! And this is the FIRST time I've seen a muslim say this. Many of us have been saying they have to clean up their own house from the outset - that change must come from within. But the ROP(tm) is too busy blaming Jews, the USA, and anyone else except themselves. Mebbe they should rename it the Religion of Blame.

#3 Sounds good, but is it OK if I remain skeptical? This was published in The American Muslim magazine almost a year ago by Shahed Amanullah. Have you noticed any moderate muslims standing up and criticizing the Islamofacists since then?
Amanullah is also editor of altmuslim.com.Check it out. The lead story is whining about the Army's investigation at UT Law School. Another article, I Hate All Arabs is an essay calling for Muslims not to criticize Muslims.
Amanullah may indeed get it and I hope that he and his readers do, but after reading his web site I remain doubtful.

#4 Far too little, and far too late. Note that in this line:

If we want the American Muslim community to be healthy and flourishing three generations from now, we need to stem the tide of misunderstanding and hate now before it snowballs into something worse.

He's talking about the "misunderstanding and hate" towards Muslims, not that coming from Muslims. When he confronts the latter, then call me.

#5 He's talking about the "misunderstanding and hate" towards Muslims, not that coming from Muslims. When he confronts the latter, then call me.

I dunno - this line a few sentences later seems to do that:

We need to not just say "Islam means peace" to non-Muslims -- we have to take that message to those Muslims here and abroad that consider random violence an acceptable means of doing Godâs will.

#6 So the tumor is benign, now?

Whew! I feel so much better... not.

Not in the tiniest bit, in fact. I do not accept that the pathogen has, or can be, turned into a symbiotic ally. What is written, what has been practiced, what is taught says not just otherwise, but screams out that this is a placebo, a canard, and that the tumor grows and is, as it always has been, malignant.
