That wasn't even worth the paper it was not written on nor my time. Thanks for wasting it.

What kind of state is journalism in anyways?

The author offers nothing in the way of analysis or even factual argument. Opinion based on emotion. Then it's on to the next subject -- gossip!

That's what is truly wrong. People like her pretending to know so much and simplifying the issue into "those people are stupid".

For the above post, I feel you are a little too critical.

The fact that she would write a piece from a perspective as a muslim is rather courageous at the moment.

I would like to see views made from more muslims (who are they exactly?) that are more outgoing against extremism. Though I don't blame them for being quiet as moderates seem to end up dead more times than extremists now days.

Sorry for wasting your time DD! Smile You weren't the intended audience. I just get tired of hearing how muslims don't condemn terrorism, when pretty much all the muslims I know are heartily sick of terrorism and can't get their heads around it (unless it involves resistance against an occupying power).

I would agree that all the muslims that I know are tired of terrorism, but they all blame the US and Israel for terrorism.
