Muslims in India Repudiate Terrorism -Robert F. Worth
Throngs of Indian Muslims, ranging from Bollywood actors to skullcap-wearing seminary students, marched through the heart of Mumbai and several other cities, holding up banners proclaiming their condemnation of terrorism and loyalty to the Indian state.
Muslim leaders have refused to allow the bodies of the nine militants killed in the [Mumbai] attacks to be buried in Islamic cemeteries. Muslim religious scholars and public figures have issued strongly worded condemnations of the attacks. [S]ome 40 Muslims were among the victims of the attackers.

Not that it matters now for them, but hopefully W. Bush and Cheney are reading this, and learning that all Muslims are not militant extremists.
It's a matter of great debate [that i've covered before] exactly how many Moslems [worldwide] support terrorism. Trustworthy academics put the figure at around 10 percent. That would seem to settle the matter: the majority are fine peaceloving beings.
However, 10 percent of a lot is still a lot. The key appears to be Moslems taking their religion back.
