Salim Mansur is absolutely right. I wrote a letter to the editor of the Toronto Star a number of years ago asking "When will moderate Muslims speak up?".
Now, what will happen next? When will there be a renaissance in the Muslim world to replace "jihad" with "salaam" and "fatwe" with "Ijtihad"? When will Muslims stop training, encouraging and praising shaheeds, who kill innocent people for no useful purpose? When will Muslims reject the ideas that followers of other faiths are not infidels and that people who do not accept the teachings of Muhammed are not insulting all Muslims? ---- Witness last year's international outcry about the Danish editorial cartoon.
There are hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world who practice these principles and who respect the rights of others. When the segment of Muslim society which does not quells its actions and its rhetoric -- particular those like Iran's Ahmedinejad -- the safety and well-being of the world will be more secure.
