we are committed to be more vocal and more active in our attempt to isolate terrorists and terrorism, deny them recruits, sympathy, and any religious or political legitimacy.



Any attempt to actually isolate terrorism must include the theological arguments that undercut it. Chapter and Verse - where are the rulings, the quotes from Koran and Hadith? Where are they? Don't hold your breath waiting for MAS to give them to you, they still read Sayd Qutb for inspiration. He was one of the guys who laid out all the theological arguments FOR terrorism.

Look at the fine print. Have they said a single word that will get the Islamist terrorists mad at them? Have they made a counter-argument to violent Islamism? Have they identified a single attack anywhere which they call terrorism and therefore illegitimate? No and no and no.

It's easy as pie to condemn terrorim in the abstract, in english, to westerners. Even the terrorists don't mind that since taqqiya is allowed. Condeming their theological arguments, condemning specific deeds - now that's a different matter.

Like Robert Spencer, I'm still waiting for evidence. Show me the money!
