It’s a Start

Canadian muslim leaders speak out against terrorism.
Canadian Islamic leaders have issued a strong condemnation of Thursday’s explosions in London, saying they are “united” in their efforts to confront religious extremism.In an unprecedented move, 120 imams and other Muslim leaders from across the country gathered in Toronto and released a statement afterwards.
While I applaud the guts of those involved, I have to wonder how serious they as a group are about this. Only 120 imams? I suppose it’s a start. It’s certainly better than the shockingly loud silence we have been hearing from the muslim community. But they can do better than this. And before you all jump all over me this is not meant to slag those who did have the balls to speak up. I’m disappointed in those who didn’t - that’s all.
