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.

^^^^^ About 10 minutes ago I saw this for the first time on the MSN.com homepage and thought some might find it interesting.

I think the biggest thing everyone is missing is the fact that 3 people are dead, and over a hundred injured. Is it suspicious? You bet it is, and I don't trust any of the official stories. But the point of this was to offer my condolences to those touched by these terrible events, not spark a huge discussion about Muslims/Government/Christians/Religion/Politics. Take it to another thread.

No one is missing anything. It was a horrid terrorist crime. It changed the life of everyone living near boston, including me.

But to expect people not to talk about the reasons behind it is foolish. If you stick your head in the sand, this type of thing will just keep happening. Knowledge is the best remedy for keeping evil at bay.
