Allerlei moslimorganisaties in het westen die openlijk terrorisme afkeuren hebben ook niet bijzonder veel keus. Daarnaast is het afkeuren van een bepaalde terroristische daad of daden, vaak niets meer dan een diplomatiek antwoord of respons.

[..]

Ik weet niet wat terroristen hierover claimen, maar het is niet onmogelijk om voor te stellen. Als Ahmedinejab 'sorry' zegt geloof ik hem ook niet op zijn mooie ogen. Dat heeft weinig met pessimisme te maken, maar met het voortdurend ondermijnen van vertrouwen door grote groepen moslims, of in ieder geval onder de noemer moslim.
