>I can understand why the more moderate in places like Iran and Saudi Arabia can't say anything, they'll get their tongue cut out or worse. But I can't understand why the muslim who live here and enjoy the freedom they have won't/can't say anything about it. Are they also scared to say anything critical about the islamic fascists?

Sam;

Who knows the truth of any subject? Who will let us know the truth or even allow others to speak of the truth? In the San Francisco Bay Area (I live in the south Bay) there are large Muslim communities. I have heard our local television station interview Muslim religious leaders as well as Muslim people, on several occasions within the last year or so. Granted there have not been many such events and I think there should be more!

One Muslim group was helping homeless people and people in need in San Jose a few months ago. We really have no idea of what is going on within our country unless the media allows it!
