If you ever make it back to this site please read the comments of A.A. and truly reflect on the points raised. You seem to blame the lack of spine by muslims in not standing up to islamic terrorisim or indeed islamic radicals on the lack of a leader on par with the pope. Strange how non muslims who are outraged at the acts committed by islamic radicals dont need someone to speak for them, they do it themselves. Muslims do not need a leader to come out and condem vile acts and those who support them, All you need to do is be as outraged as we are. Tell ten other muslims that you are outraged and ask them to tell ten others. Go down to the mosques and other meeting places where the radicals spread their message of hate and dont leave untill you throat is so hoarse that you cannot yell one more word of protest. After you have done that and anything else you can do to quash the islamic radical you can then rest. Untill then stop complaining about how we missunderstand muslims or how you are not all bad. Guess what...we know you are not each responsible for speaking the words of hate or committing the physical acts. What you are responsible of is complicity by inaction.
