2. Someone help me out on this, because
I'm starting to feel like a Freeper on this issue.

Is there any link anyone could give me that has Muslims condemning the incident in Russia? Anything of the sort? Running bayonets through kids, gouging their eyes out and other form of torture should be pretty easy to condemn, even for groups that hate the western world.

My Freeper boss has been screaming about this all morning, and said that if Islam really is a religion of peace, at least someone practicing it should condemn that. That sucks, because he's an asshole and I've never agreed with him before on anything but the Second Amendment, but I am having a hard time disagreeing with him. If the reports are true, that kid that took the bayonet did nothing but ask for a glass of water. If so, shouldn't SOMEONE be condemning this?

Ordinary Americans had no problem condemning Abu Ghraib; shouldn't "ordinary," "peace-loving" Islamists condemn this?

Someone, please point me to anything I've missed in my search for this. A link would really help, because for the first time in my life I feel myself gravitating towards "shoot first, apologize later if you're wrong," and I hate feeling like this.
