As enchanted as I am about the prospect of once again arguing here about when it is that members of some large group have the responsibility to denounce other, extremist members of that large group, I'm going to have to pass. I said my piece when we argued about whether lacrosse players should be marching to protest the loutish behavior of Duke's lacrosse players, and again when we argued about whether prosecutors should be marching to protest the actions of the Durham DA, and I don't have anything to add on the subject.

Yeah, because lacrosse players often call upon other lacrosse players to kill non-lacrosse players. And thousands upon thousands of lacrosse players across the globe unite to support and die for the cause.
Pretty stupid analogy, Ty.
If it's relevant, as you claim, that Muslims oppose suicide bombings, then why is it not relevant that their opposition is rather passive -- much less so than, say, their opposition to unflattering depictions of Islam or Muhammad?
When Slave says Muslims are violent, you say that no, lots of Muslims really hate and oppose suicide bombings and other violent acts. When I point out the dearth of Muslims actually giving voice to such opposition, you talk about Duke lacrosse.
