US Muslim outrage at attack on Muslim girl but intifada (uprising) on US is ok.

From The Sun-Sentinel in Florida we get a report about an alleged attack on a 12 year old Muslim girl. I say alleged because there seem to be some irregularities in the story. Plus the fact that her uncle is executive director of The American-Islamic Relations Council. My earlier posts on CAIR here and here.

If it is true it is a terrible thing to do and those responsible should be punished. Some in the Muslim community seek to blame a wider group - the media. The media does, at times, inflame things with sensational journalism. On the other hand, as I have said repeatedly, the Muslim community needs to do more in publicly denouncing, by name bin Laden, Al-Qaeda and the rest. The Muslim communities inability to distance itself publicly from terrorism creates the impression of "silent approval".

But it gets worse than "silent approval".

From Jihad Watch we get this "UC Berkeley lecturer calls for an intifada in the United States"

UC Berkeley Lecturer Hatem Bazian "Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Are you angry? [Yeah!] Well, we've been watching intifada in Palestine, we've been watching an uprising in Iraq, and the question is that what are we doing? How come we don't have an intifada in this country?
Because it seem[s] to me, that we are comfortable in where we are, watching CNN, ABC, NBC, Fox, and all these mainstream... giving us a window to the world while the world is being managed from Washington, from New York, from every other place in here in San Francisco: Chevron, Bechtel, [Carlyle?] Group, Halliburton; every one of those lying, cheating, stealing, deceiving individuals are in our country and weÂ're sitting here and watching the world pass by, people being bombed, and it's about time that we have an intifada in this country that change[s] fundamentally the political dynamics in here.

And we know every - They're gonna say some Palestinian being too radical well, you haven't seen radicalism yet!
"

Religious hatred is wrong in any form. With the lack of public condemnation, by name, of bin Laden and the rest by Muslims, coupled with outright calls for an Iraqi style uprising, Muslims bear the responsibility for some of their own grief.
