Some Muslims have condemned 9/11

Do not make the mistake of thinking that all Muslims stand firmly behind those attacks, especially the ones who are trying to just go about life minding their own business.

Also do not forget that a great many Muslim leaders have their people living in fear of speaking out for fear of retaliation in some form.

And take into account those leaders who are good at speaking from both sides of their mouths, and giving ambiguous answers.

I will liken the nation of Islam to a great fireball, wherever it goes it eventually inflames. But from that fireball, sparks will fall and it is up to those who care to catch them and present them to Christ. But if we go on hating the Muslims or stay ignorant of them, they will have no one to turn to for the truth.

I am a firm believer that the truth can be known, but is rarely told. I am also a firm believer that people are too complicated to see the simple truth, much like an ant cannot comprehend the foot that is about to step on him.
