The problem, however, is that opinon polls often suggest that a disturbing share of Muslims condone not only violence but, more specifically, terrorism--violence against non-combatants--as a means to political or economic ends. Also, as I mentioned in my initial argument, it is telling that so many of those who commit acts of terror point to the Koran as their motivation. Perhaps we can agree that the moderate majority of Muslims would be better served by leaders who were more vocal in their condemnation of violence. I would be happy to amend my comments if only I could see evidence of this.
