I do not think you are correct in your article about the Islamists and Muslims...they are one in the same. If you were correct, the rally (article on this site) would have been successful, but it was not even close. Maybe Muslims are silent because they are mostly radical and/or agree with the radicals. I think this is the only clear conclusion.
Todays "Islamists" are in all forms, from the quiet, well mannered next door neighbor boy to the more obvious. I believe that the Muslims are in support of terrorism to resolve all of their downfalls and problems, rather than take any responsibility themselves.
