I think it’s a two-part answer. First, we as Muslims are, unfortunately, not presently as organized and outspoken in the media as we would like to be. Second, you would be hard-pressed to find the media covering any Muslim group speaking out against terrorism. I hope readers understand that Islam is a religion that follows closely the same tenets found in the Ten Commandments, e.g. no stealing, lying, murdering, etc. We believe in one God and the concept of peace. The majority of Muslims do not condone the horrific acts of violence committed in the name of our religion by insane fanatics and terrorists. We mourn the loss of any life that is innocently taken.
