All good steps that should be taken, should have been taken a long time ago, but it's in the last paragraph that Ijaz comes closest to the truth but stops short of what is really needed - Islamic reformation.
It is hypocritical for Muslims living in western societies to demand civil rights enshrined by the state and then excuse their inaction against terrorists hiding among them on grounds of belonging to a borderless Islamic community. It is time to stand up and be counted as model citizens before the terror consumes us all.
There is the key to the problem, Mulsim loyalties lie with Islam first and the state second.
Until Muslims admit that Islam is just like any other religion, a set of beliefs, and the Koran is not the "rule book" that the entire world must obey, militants will be able to say that they follow the true Islam and all others are infidels. And as the Koran teaches them, infidels must be converted or killed where ever they are found.
