Does any rational person believe murder, bombing, and kidnappings are good things? What credibility do a few Muslim clerics have when it should be blatantly obvious to everyone that the actions of the Muslim extremists have noting to do with religion; it is all about politics and power. People, innocent or not, are pawns in this process. These clerics are wasting their breath. Their words are poison meant to confuse the minds of the those who will listen to their rhetoric.
"The bombings and killings have revolted people and hurt individuals and their property, and no one with the slightest knowledge of Islam can doubt that this is an atrocious crime and grave sin,"
The Muslims who will listen to them are not the same Muslims that will be killing Americans tomorrow. Why do these clerics get any press at all? It is action, not words, which will carry the day. Will these same clerics stop the young homicide bombers from crossing the Israeli border tomorrow? Will they stop the senseless slaughter of foreign workers in Saudi Arabia? No, they will instead speak to a microphone and call it a sin with the official blessing (and winks) of the Saudi government.
Of course it goes even deeper, young Muslims are being trained to hate, to be intolerant of the Infidels in their midst, to hate anyone that is not like them, to kill in the name of Allah. It can only stop when…. God I wish I knew.
