Salon has an interesting article titled "Islam's Flawed Spokesmen". It covers some of the statements and action of two of the leading Islamic groups in America. These are the groups that purport to speak for "mainstream" Muslims. However these groups seem to have a problem speaking out against terrorism. They condemned terrorism and the "attacks on the buildings" but refused to condem bin Laden by name.
And what about prior acts of terror linked to bin Laden? Or that bin Laden has urged Muslims to kill Americans? Again, Hooper demurred, saying only that he condemns acts of terror.
They also refuse to condemn Hamas and Hizballah, two Palestinian terrorist groups, both of which are on the State Department's list of terrorist organizations. And that's just on the first page of the article.
