I don't see Muslims as an existential threat

but their deafening silence about barbaric and violent acts lends them complacent and in their vulnerability, the whole world is rendered vulnerable.

I'd like to see a world where a predominantly Islamic country arrests, convicts and punishes the likes of Usama bin Laden instead of giving him refuge and comfort like Pakistan did.

I'd like to see a world where every leader of a predominantly Muslim country comes out swinging and condemns the acts like 9/11 vocally.

Until then, the threat exists.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
