#1 It is a start.

Between that and the Grand Imam of the Great Mosque in Mekkah denouncing terrorism, maybe, mainstream Moslems are getting the message that if they really are "the religion of peace" they had better damned sure make sure they don't advocate violence with silence.

Moslem leaders need to get off their butts and tell the world this stuff is not Islam (as I was told many times in Libya by just about everyone I met on the street.)

#3 Its one thing for individual or groups of Moslems to condemn it.

Its another for the mosques and madrassas to condemn in general language.

Its still another to have the mosques and madrassas explain why the literalist reading of the Quran, the Hadith and the Sunna is wrong regarding kidnapping. Without the third thing happening, the first two don't really matter much.

#5 It's a start only if there is a next step.

#6 Betcha every denunciation is couched in terms of "harming Islam" by means of public relations, and not about the act itself -- which is not just permitted by Islam, but emulates the career of Mohammed (bees pee upon him).
