While tooling around on the internet I ran across this post at The Anchoress. I upset several people with this post a while back. When confronted on the comments I challenged Muslims to take care of the “radicals”. I got some good responses but I also got the standard “it’s happening” slogan. Remember that one website that was used to herald the 9/11 attacks and warn us of our impending subjugation. I think we have to change Islam by our pressure but too often Muslims either ignore the problem or attribute it to radicals. They are in denial that their own house is dirty and needs a good cleaning! Muslims have the power to change Islam from the inside so when we find reformers I feel we should give them all the support we can. The Anchoress, Captain’s Quarters and Jihad Watch are all involved in this ongoing conversation so join them.

The Anchoress : Instapundit linked to Clifford May asking, Where are the Moderate Muslims. Well, I’ve been lucky enough to be able to correspond with a “reformist” Muslim named Ali, who is very careful with his words - which is wise, in my opinion - but also very eager to dialogue. Bear in mind that there is a distinction, naturally, between a “moderate” and a “reformist.”
This will be a long post, but if weÂ’re really interested in dialoguing instead of demagoguing, I hope some will plow through it.
