"Not at all. I am concerned with (1) the lack of outrage shown by Muslim communities in this country;

That complaint got a lot of mileage after 911 and has now become worn and cliche. At this point it is simply not accurate, it is merely a battle cry. But I bet you here it a lot from people who are pissed of at Muslims... starting to see a pattern here?

...and (2) evidence that what is said in public is the exact opposite of what is said in the mosque.

That is also being pretty blown out of proportion. There are some whacos at the pulpit for sure, and that is nothing new but we are very much on top of it. There is plenty of evidence that religious groups condemn what they see in mainstream western society...All religious groups. The tendency for people who are pissed off at Muslims is to make more of what is said in Mosques than similar statements said in other sectors. Do you attend Mosque a great deal or did you hear that from people who are pissed off at Muslims?

"That said, I am also not saying that ALL are like that. Many are good, loyal citizens. Many, however, are not, and that is the concern.

Good. You might want to check what you've heard "still holds true" with some people who are not pissed off at Muslims... like these good folk you mentioned.
