Few are willing to stand against the Radical clerics who are giving Islam such a bad name

few that we actually get to see on television. I may be on a bit of an anti-media soapbox lately.


One thing I've noticed is that when a prominent cleric over here does say something against terrorism it isn't actually treated as big news, unlike the extremists who make "good" news.
We usually get a report about the extremist guy and what he has been saying, then a quick mention at the end that his words have been condemned by a senior muslim figure or organisation that you'd miss if you blinked.

Henning Mankell "We must defend the open society, because if we start locking our doors, if we let fear decide, the person who committed the act of terror will win"
