Muslim moderates can always be found to appear side by side with secular and Christian leaders after a terrorist attack to condemn it. What's missing is a sustained effort on their part to challenge the preachers of hate. Somehow, Christian and Jewish leaders are able to marginalize their violent "cells". Is there a Christian along the lines of Pat Robertson or Bishop Gregory or any leader you care to name supporting Eric Rudolph or Timothy McVeigh or any religiously-inspired violence?
The violence undertaken by Christians and Jews in the name of their respective religions is constantly being criticized - even if it's only one person.
