text: to the muslim community? with respect to muslims and all religions, but i would like to know why when one critizises the way a muslim dresses they defend openly as to why but when terriorist that are muslims kill people why is it that the muslims do not react in the same way openly critizing the terrorists. i think it would be in their best interest to do so as the true muslim teaches good and the terrorists teaches bad so why do the muslims not defend themselves openly by critizing the terrorists, some do but very few to where the voice is not heard but the majority of muslims are silent when the terrorists who are muslims commit such acts. just asking..tks i agree with you totally, and they do criticize the terrorists in the middle east's media strongly and all the time. but they should do so internationally as well. maybe they feel that since they're under fire from the western media about it, and so they don't feel they have a voice to do so openly on the international arena...m not sure. but that issue is discussed and the terrorists are criticized in the muslim world and its media all the time.
