#1 The worldâs Islamic nations must take steps to erase the smear associating their religion with violence, especially after the September 11 strikes in the United States, Muslim leaders said Thursday.

Ha..haaha...hahaahahaha....HAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

"The more serious challenge ... facing our Muslim peoples is the unjust accusations that Islam and Muslims are being subjected to, and the continuous efforts to link Islam and Muslims with terrorism," Jordanâs King Abdullah said.

Well, for starters, how about destroying Hezbollah and Islamic Jihad?

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said there was an "urgent need" for Islamic countries to explain Islam at home and abroad, as well as combat distortions by some Western institutions.

This might prove interesting, if not outright comical.

"More damaging to the reputation of Islam and Muslims is the upsurge in religious extremism, fanaticism and zealotry, which have been recently associated with violence and terrorism," he said, citing the Bali attacks and other bombings in Riyadh and Casablanca.

"Associated"??? Seems to me that religious extremism, fanaticism, and zealotry RESULTS in violence and terrorism, especially where Muslims are concerned.

(Note: Christianity is not immune to this sort of thing either - abortion clinic bombings and shootings of doctors that perform abortions are a good example, though not as widespread)

#3 The "problem" we must face, and some do now get it, is that the power brokers in Islam and countries with Islam as the dominant religion will not face it. Ever, it seems.

There is no more gutless cowardly class on the planet than Muslim leadership. While they may have a pragmatic side that recognizes that terrorism is dragging their religion into a direct fight with determined foes who will eventually wipe them out unless they get a clue, at the same time there is a pfantasy side which hopes and dreams for the global domination of Islam someday. Any of them who would deny this is not a real Muslim or is a liar. Or both.

What a lineup of losers, apologists, and hopeless ~~schemers~~ dreamers. This is yet another MOAB moment wasted.
