Voiced when and by whom? And I stress again that the point is not for the Muslim lady next door to take "responsibility" or blame for the events of 9/11 (or issue an apology or pay reparations).

It's not even easy to find an unequivocal condemnation of these types of terrorist acts by national and international groups formed by Muslims. And considering the press revealing footage all over the world of children being taught to sing Jihad songs and the like, in addition to atrocities being committed in the name of Islam (and financed sometimes by those who present themselves as "non extremist" including American mosques) don't you think it might be a good idea for a vigorous "terrorism is wrong" campaign among Muslims?
As for the photos, I don't know that anyone posting on here should have to expect that a young child will be looking at this board. There are certainly tons of things a child shouldn't be viewing on this board besides my posted photos. My position is that we should be free to write our posts without worrying about one of our children viewing it.

He lived and was being carried out of the school. To a child, Ty's dinasour would probably seem more frightening. Or worse yet, seeing THIS:
