No one has suffered more than Muslims from Muslim extremism. Millions of Muslims have died in the name of Islam at the hands of extremists. In Iraq, Muslims were routinely slaughtered by Islamic extremists. In Pakistan and Afghanistan it is the same. (And no I'm not trying to minimize the loss of American lives, but the losses we have suffered pale in comparison to the number of Muslims killed by Islamic extremism.)

The bottom line is, until Muslims deal with the problem, they will continue to have to deal with the negative image in the world and they will continue to have to deal with opprobrium from civilized nations. If the present violence continues, there will be a growing backlash against Muslims and they will have even more to deal with in the future.

Anyone who has followed this issue at all has heard of Ayaan Hirsi Ali. There are Muslims who speak out. There are just far too few. Many are intimidated to speak out. They have suffered centuries of oppression from tyrannical rulers who have used the radical imams and the murderous elements to suppress opposition.

I hate to say it, but the father did the right thing. The only way to defeat evil is to destroy it utterly.
