Muslims do gather to speak out against violence in their countries, it goes...

[!~yazzy~!]

...ignored by our media? Why do ppl repeatedly say that Muslims dont condemn terrorism, when the reality is that do all the time?

"The fact is that many prominent Muslim groups have clearly and publicly denounced acts of terror in the name of Islam as barbaric, heinous and just plain wrong. Though they religiously send out press releases and e-mail statements after every attack, somehow their message doesn't seem to penetrate."

There were even peace light vigils held in Muslim countries, but of course thats wont make breaking news.

After 9/11 ICNA Relief USA (Islamic Circle of North America) was one of many that aided in the after math......which is located in NY!

Also, All the good things Muslims do are never shown in the media either....here is an example:


Kuwait Red Crescent Society donated 25 MILLION DOLLARS, which is the largest current and recorded single donation received by the American Red Cross.
- This same organization has collaborated with WHS (World Hepatitis Alliance) that raises awareness about Hepatitis B and C and raises money for people worldwide.


" Although surveys show that most followers of Islam in the U.S. reject extremist views, many voices of moderation aren't being heard."

What are your thoughts?
Do people really think Muslims dont condemn?

If it doesn't attract viewers or sell newspapers, it isn't reported. Because of this bias- toward money, not against Islam- many people would say "Yeah, and Italian "legitimate businessmen" publicly decry organized crime, too". All the Muslims I've met seem almost Buddhist. I would trust them.
