Muslims Start To Debate The Role That Islam Plays In Fueling Terrorism And Violence

AP: Violence fuels debate among Muslims over interpreting faith

WNU Editor: The debate has been ongoing for a very long time .... but I have definitely seen this shift accelerate in the past two years. I have also seen more Muslim religious leaders and clerics openly condemning terror attacks done in the name of Allah during this same period. Why now and not before? .... that is still open to debate. But I for one am grateful that it is happening .... and while many still push an intolerant version of Islam .... Saudi blogger Badawi 'flogged for Islam insult' (BBC) .... I am now seeing more and more other Islamic voices who condemn this for what it is .... ‘We All Now Look Like Terrorists Before the World!” (Raymond Ibrahim).
