That's what I was asking. The only Muslims we seem to be hearing in the media these days are the radical fundamentalists, and as a result the general population believes that all Muslims think like these people. To put it another way, many of the radicals we hear from are the Muslim equivalent to Jerry Falwell and the radical Christian right, but because we don't know enough about the religion, we assume these people speak for all people; just as we know that the radical Christians don't speak for all Christians. I too would like to know why Muslims aren't speaking out against these radicals.

WHAT???? I may be wrong, but I don't recall reading about Reverend Falwell crashing a plane into a building full of people.
To equate a Christian radical like Falwell to Islamic radicals is comparing a sneeze to a category 5 hurricane.
