Arabs Against Terrorism

Finally there's an Arab backlash against suicide bombers and terrorism. What brought it about? Was it the deaths in Israel? No, it was the deaths of fellow Arabs that prompted a strong unified voice against the unexpected, random killing of innocent civilians. One cannot help but think that by many this kind of terrorism is considered permissible if directed at one's adversaries or someone else. People of peace abhor violence in all forms against all people. I know better than to think that this applies to all Arabs or Muslims, but it can't be overlooked that it applies to many.

i think that you're taking the high road on this one. i don't think that it's been a question of apathy. my take on what i read and hear is that there is a large vocal element in many muslim communities that believes that justice is being served in many of the non-arab terroristic acts.
