What hath moral equivalence wrought?

I wonder how many marchers would show up if there were a demonstration in London today against the war. Probably a lot, but also a lot less than protested at the start. The fact thatt the London bombers were home-grown from Leeds suggests that no European state is really safe, since they all have sizable Muslim populations. One hopeful sign is that British Muslim parents and clerics are shocked and troubled by this. If Islam is going to have a reformation, it had better get started soon before people get tired of hearing that it's a religion of peace and start hating brown people indiscriminately. That might be just what the killers want, but it's easily avoidable. Some Muslim leaders must stand up and condemn this stuff and issue fatwas condemning those who engage in suicide jihad or violence of any kind.

Any ethnic group has ways of knowing what's up that outsiders will never share. Unless truly peaceful, law abiding Muslims join the fight to stop more bombings and ambushes, they will appear more and more to have turned against those nations that harbor them as "guest workers."
