    Is that like the Elephant in the room thing?

    So, let me get this straight: You are proposing that people stand perfectly still and hope that the wasp flying around doesn't sting you? What do you do when it gets ON you? Do you stand there and let it sting you or do you swat it?

    So "speaking out" against crazy self proclaimed Muslims (because I don't think they're true Muslims) is a big NO NO because what? They're gonna get mad and kill people........hmmmm, anyone see the irony here?
    The same thing is happening in this country though, albeit in a very smaller scale. What happened when the war first started and people protested? They were told "Get the fuck out of this country if you don't support it" by a MINORITY of people who have an EXTREMIST mindset about how this country should be run.

    Now take that, multiply it by a thousand, and give them guns, bombs, knives, etc.

    Muslims did stand up and call the pope an idiot when he opened his mouth and showed his ignorance. They DID stand up and protest when 9/11 happened.

    You're wanting people who have been thrown in a middle of a war without their choosing to stand up and publicly protest?? I'd be more worried about my ass getting bombed on accident, to be honest.

    Plus, do you REALLY think USA today is going to have a front page paper with "Peaceful Muslims say Terrorists are Bad"?? No, they go for the good stuff about extremists blowing themselves up and blowing up school buses.

    Val for President.

    I said in the very beginning that I figured this was one of the reasons for not standing up, but again not all Muslims live in the Middle East either. I can understand those guys being scared and rightly so. I totally understand that.

    But what is the reason in other parts of the world where a threat like that is not there?

    Maybe I'm just simply not seeing something that is in fact there. Maybe I'm reading the wrong publications or maybe I just don't watch the news as often as I should to see it. I'm not necessarily saying it hasn't been done, I'm just saying I'm not seeing it myself and if it's there would someone please point me to it so I can see it. I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to get some insight.

    Muslims did stand up and call the pope an idiot when he opened his mouth and showed his ignorance. They DID stand up and protest when 9/11 happened.
    Again, it may very well be just me being misinformed, but I just haven't seen the type of outcry towards terrorism as I have seen towards a caricature.

    I think that may be part of the problem too. I know some "good news" don't sell as blood guts do.
