Sowing Mistrust

Now Playing at a Theater Near You
-Thomas Friedman

In the past few years, hundreds of Muslims have committed suicide amid innocent civilians - without generating any vigorous, sustained condemnation in the Muslim world.

Not all Muslims are terrorists. But virtually all terrorists today are Muslims. Angry Norwegians aren't doing this - nor are starving Africans or unemployed Mexicans. Muslims have got to understand that a death cult has taken root in the bosom of their religion.

Doctors plotting mass murder? Could that be? If Muslim leaders don't remove this cancer it will spread, tainting innocent Muslims and poisoning their relations with each other and the world.

The Case for Mistrusting Muslims -Theodore Dalrymple

One of the most sinister effects of the efforts of the UK bombers is that they have undermined trust completely between Muslims and non-Muslims. This is because those under investigation turn out not to be cranks or marginals but people well-integrated into society...

This means, unfortunately, that no one can ever be quite sure whether a Muslim who appears polite and accommodating is not simultaneously contemplating mass murder.
