Kuan Yew: Moderate Muslims need to make stand on terror - from The Star.

He explained it thus: “I am saying that moderates in the Muslim world, by not being able to take a stand and take the lead and start the argument with the extremists in the mosques, in the madrasah, they are ducking the issue and allowing the extremists to hijack, not just Islam, but the whole of the Muslim community.”

As for whether Lee thought the war against terror could widen the gulf between Islam and the West, he acknowledged there was that danger.

However, it was not necessarily inevitable – provided the Muslim moderates take a stand, he added.
(my emphasis)

I've said it before, the silence deafening. If this war on terror is going to be won then the Imams, Mullahs and leaders of Muslim countries had better "hijack" their religion back. All over the world they are letting their hate of the west be taught in their Mosques, in text books and in schools.
