#1 Different moslems think differently so, yes, it is obviously difficult to determine the sincerity.

A lot of secular moslems are very frightened because they came to the US to escape their more violent coreligionists. Some such people have admitted to me that they feel Islam is a bad religion and they are sick about it. Others hope that Islam can be rescued somehow.

And then there are those who believe otherwise.

#2 True effort or taqqiya?

I'd assume taqqiya untill some MM hedz are offered as token of sincerity.

#3 The Council on American-Islamic Relations, a Washington-based civil rights organization, is running a TV ad and a petition-drive called "Not in the Name of Islam," which repudiates terrorism.

Given the number of CAIR officials who have been convicted of actively supporting terrorism, this is meaningless. I'd be more impressed if CAIR itself were repudiated.

#4 "Not in the name of islam"

They forgot the asterisk

Not in the name of islam*

*except where muslims perceive themselves as being oppressed or where there are factions who will provide plausible explanations for the "militancy"

#5 Taqqiya. Talk is cheap, whiskey costs money.

#6 They have to think of themselves as AMERICANS first and muslims second and they are getting little traction. They held a peace rally in Washingtom for muslims against terrorism and the turnout was pityful. I say OK you have chosen sides deal with the consequences of that. I don't want to hear any muslim/arab/paki/etc complain about being "targeted" but TSA or any law enforcement agency. You want to support terrorism then we will just have to treat you as such.

#8 You have to remember that before the act, they are muslims, and after the act they are muslims.

But while they are murdering, torturing, or raping innocent people they are not really muslims - kind of a temporarily vacation from Islam.. and afterwards they are back to being muslims in good standing again....
