For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam, Violent Threats


No I hadn't, but what the Muslims need is that type of statement from one of their own strongmen. A Muslim woman living in Los Angeles is not the best source to influence the population of the Middle East.

It's sort of like John Walker Lyndh objecting to the US invasion of Afghanistan isn't quite the same as, say, John McCain objecting to the US invasion of Afghanistan. Americans think Walker Lyndh is a loser-crackpot, I imagine Muslim clerics in Egypt would have a similar view of an outspoken Muslim female living in Los Angeles.
