The Muslim World: Just Before the Dawn?

"Mona Eltahawy is a New York-based columnist for the pan-Arab newspaper Asharq al-Awsat". And she has a great op-ed in today's WaPo. From hatemongering clerics to liberal apologists, she takes the relevant jackfools to task.

First Money graf:

"I'm sure it was also those dog-eared statements that our clerics and religious leaders read out telling us that Islam means peace -- it actually means submission -- and asking us to please forget everything they had ever said before July 6, because as of July 7 they truly believe violence is bad. Their backpedaling is so furious you can smell the skid marks."

And another:

"I raise these questions because London might have done it for me, but I'm not done with Islam. The clerics and the terrorists will not take it away from me. God belongs to me, too."

Classic smackdown.

The muslim world needs a lot more of this kind of thing. The keys to the GWOT revolve around the muslim world, after all. They have to stop sheltering terrorists. And stop funneling money. And stop supporting the cause by excusing their actions, volunteering, and other such nonsense. The Global War On Terror is also a civil war.

And we're seeing the battle being joined. Is the Dawn approaching? Let's hope so...
