Moderate Islam speaks out against extremists (and this time it's newsworthy!)
Why isn't Britain doing more to counter terrorism? Several people have commented that the moderate Muslim community needs to vocally side with us, and if they don't they are standing against us. The Saudi Ambassador to Britain had, it seems, spent 30 months of his life telling the British Government not to let extremists take over mosques and lead communities. And yet the most prominent publication I could find that were reporting this as news was The Australian, and even then it needed simultaneous comment by a Saudi prince before it became a story.
If we really want the Muslim community to help the rest of the country fight terrorism, we're going to have to listen to them, not ignore them when they are speaking to us and trying to help us, and then say 'Why aren't they helping us?'.

I fully agree, which is why I haven't posted :-)
