Nine Years Since 9/11

Cliff May "It should go without saying but probably does not: Most of the world’s Muslims are not participating in this struggle, are not eager for bloodshed, and do not want to live under clerical dictatorships. But if, as has been conservatively estimated, only seven percent of the world’s Muslims support Jihadism and/or Islamism, that’s more than 80 million people – a formidable force backed by enormous Middle Eastern oil wealth. By contrast, Islamic reformers and peacemakers are isolated, targeted and without substantial resources."

The Eternal Flame of Muslim Outrage "Shhhhhhh, we're told. Don't protest the Ground Zero mosque. Don't burn a Koran. It'll imperil the troops. It'll inflame tensions. The "Muslim world" will "explode" if it does not get its way, warns sharia-peddling imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Pardon my national security-threatening impudence, but when is the "Muslim world" not ready to "explode"?
"At the risk of provoking the ever-volatile Religion of Perpetual Outrage, let us count the little-noticed and forgotten ways."

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF 9/11 "Sure, the attacks were carried out by small groups of radicals .. but the celebration of that attack was widespread in Islamic countries. The perpetrators were small in number, the celebrants were vast.
"Today, on the eve of the 9th anniversary, we're fighting a battle over whether or not Islamists should be allowed to construct a victory mosque at the site of their achievement. Again .. yes. It is a victory mosque. Only on Fox News Channel and in Talk radio (plus a few columns here and there) will you hear or read about the centuries-old Islamic custom of building a mosque at the site of great Islamic victories."
