Islamist Threats

There are continual reports of Islamist terror attacks from all around the world. But Canadians think the perps are extremists. So, where are the "moderate" or "liberal(?)" Muslims? Why do we not hear from them, condemning the daily atrocities?

Here's a sample from today's (January 11, 2008) news reports:

Maldive Islands: Boy Scout foils Maldives President assassination bid The President's spokesman said it was politically motivated, but Ibrahim [the Boy Scout] said he had no doubt that the attacker was an Islamic militant or inspired by an extremist vision of the world, a view seconded by people who know the man. "He had a long beard; he shouted 'God is Great' when he took out his knife. He kept shouting it," Ibrahim told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital in Male where he is recovering from wounds to his left hand sustained in the attack.

Back on December 7, 2007: Woman suicide attacker and car bomb kill 26

December 20, 2007: Bomber kills 13 Iraq volunteers and 1 U.S. soldier

January 10, 2008: Belgian court jails Iraq suicide bomb recruiters In this one, Islamists recruited European converts for terror suicide attacks. "Bilal deliberately assisted terrorist circles in Iraq," presiding judge Pierre Hendrickx told the court. He said the network aimed to help impose a radical vision of Islam rather than simply freeing Iraq from U.S. occupation.

We never hear any objections from any Muslims to any of these attacks.
