“The Jews have come from the tragedy and forced the world to respect them, with their knowledge, not with their terror; with their work, not with their crying and yelling.”
“We have not seen a single Jew blow himself up in a German restaurant. We have not seen a single Jew destroy a church. We have not seen a single Jew protest by killing people.”
“Only the Muslims defend their beliefs by burning down churches, killing people and destroying embassies. This path will not yield any results. The Muslims must ask themselves what they can do for humankind, before they demand that humankind respect them.”

She certainly is brave and I admire her for taking such a dangerous stand, but I really do think (correctly or no) that people who in the end say Muslims are the only ones who do these things aren't helping.
The vast majority of the bombers are men, they live in abject poverty, no job prospects, no marriage prospects, nothing but their religion it's all they have to hold onto and unfortunately that makes them very easy prey for cowards who are all about the sacrifice of others than the sacrifice of themselves.
She's certainly brave and hopefully Salman Rushdies got an extra room, but I just think terrorism can happen under many guises and using the word muslim instead of extremist just seems wrong to me.
Maybe it's semantics, maybe I'm making too big of a deal about nothing, but it just seems like the wrong approach to the problem somehow.
IMO of course and as always.
