But if there were really so many muslims who wanted non violence, where are they? Why aren't the preaching non violence anywhere? Why, when looking for muslim clerics, can you only find the ones preaching extreme hatred? That is the biggest problem I have. I just don't see any Muslims stepping up to state the evils of terrorism, even when asked point blank they completely refuse to denounce terrorism.

Good points, especially most of the second paragraph. I can't cite a specific example, but I have heard some so called peaceful muslims denounce violence, but only when asked (which I find cowardly). If that is what they truly believe, they should be denouncing violence and terrorism on their own, without having to be prompted.
