"Where are all the Muslim moderates condemning this?"

All? I doubt it. That's like demanding that IRA members, condemn Mexican Roman Catholics who are illegal immigrants to the USA. Your complaint is too broad and too inclusive. Most moderate Muslims are more victims of this than you are. Even in the USA moderate Muslims fear retaliation from non-Muslim Americans and retribution from less moderate Muslims for remaining moderate. You want them to apologize to you when they are the targets. That's like asking the hens to apologise for what the fox is doing to the rooster. It would help if non-Muslims would begin to get that.

However, how's this for a start?

There is an obvious course of history for the society of the world that tracks the many struggles by people to be liberated from tyrants, liberated from oppressive dogma, to be liberated from unjust social order, while seeking greater autonomy in their individual lives of peaceful coexistence with others. The Islamo Terrorists gave up on continuing that struggle. They are in the process of destroying society so the can start from scratch and rebuild anew. They see them selves as the Arc commanding the rains. I believe they are wrong and must be stopped.

Where are the American moderates condemning America's copying of Nazi torture techniques? I don't recall a single person addressing this issue following Durbin's remarks. If you can find one, please show me.

"If these bombers are found to be Muslims, we will make it clear we utterly dissociate ourselves from them - even if they claim to be Muslims or are acting under the mantle of the Islamic faith. We reject that utterly," said the official spokesman of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB).
