JUST PUT HIM OVER THERE NEXT TO THE UNICORN

Via the Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler, I discovered something that I thought only existed in legend:

A sane Muslim.

"Islam is in need of true reform. Islam's need [for reform] – or, to be precise, our need for Islam's reform – is not less than the need for reform in the Arab political regimes… This is the need for people who are capable of fearlessly acknowledging that terrorism nests within us as Muslims and that we must exorcise it… Unfortunately, the meaning of delay is more death… The reform will take a long time and the price will be high, but it is the only path to our return to history as Muslims and not as terrorists…"

Maybe there's hope for the Middle East after all.

1 Unfortunately I think the problem is this is a situation where only the choir hears the song. No one else wants to put this on the airwaves. I don't believe that this Professor is so unique; what makes him unique is he is heard. But who hears him? Do left-wing advocates hear him? Do those who pity the Palestinians hear him? For that matter does the average right-winger hear him or those who are like him? Their voices are silenced. Somehow his voice and other's like him have got to be heard on the air all over the world. Perhaps then a difference will be seen.

2 Rachel Ann - I agree with you, this guy needs more exposure. I wish I could get him more, but this little blog is all I have. Hopefully it'll spread from here...
