There is no central authority in the Islamic world. No pope, no bishops or college of cardinals. If you are waiting for a blanket condemnation of radical Islam, I ask you this: which Christian authority condemned the violence in Northern Ireland?I can't speak for others, but my distrust of Muslims stems from the fact that few of them condemn the acts of terrorism carried out by their radical brethren.
I have discussed terrorism with my Muslim friends. While they will speak out one on one, they resist saying anything that could be construed as criticism of any other Muslims when there is a chance they may be overheard.
As far as burning crosses.... Any of that that still occurs is done by old guard Democrats of the KKK.
Lynching just don't happen any more. There is far more racially motivated murder and assault committed by what would be part of the Democrat base than by any group anyone could call Christian.
You want to make Christian fundamentalists and Conservatives out to be the bad guys here. I understand. Their values are standing in the way of your Socialist Utopia.
You want a Socialist Utopia? Head for Key West. Rent a boat and head due south for 90 miles. A decent boat will deliver you to your destination in under 3 hours.
I'm not seeking any type of utopia. I am refuting the meat headed opinions of those who want to paint all of Islam with the broad brush of hatred and fear due to the actions of a VERY small minority of Muslims.
None that I know of, not being familiar with papal history, though I wouldn't doubt that the Pope spoke out.
The point is, Christians all over the world spoke out as individuals. I see little of that from Muslims..
I heard comment after comment by French Muslims who condemned the attacks- and those who would attack in the name of Islam. There was even the Muslim man who protected the shoppers in the kosher grocery.
Not that I expect you will ever be convinced otherwise.....but for what its worth.

I am not impressed-----you might just as well cite
germans who did not take part in murder during the
1930s and 40s in order to PROVE there is nothing
wrong with Nazism. Seek and you will find-----muslims
in the USA ------who repudiate the 9-11 thing-----seek.
Long ago I watched an interview of FRAU HEDWIG WAGNER------widow of Richard Wagner----who was the son
of the big time WAGNER of the Wagnerian operas---faves of
adolf -----the jr was director of the 3rd reich opera. She laughed and said-----In 1945 she was the "ONLY NAZI" left in Germany-----suddenly everyone else hated hitler-----make that 'UNCLE ADOLF" as her many children did love
uncle adolf (for the record---the bitch was born in England----grew up in England----the "only" proud Nazi left in
Germany after world war II)
