Sherry Gossett at AIM is troubled by the media silence on progressive Muslims:
While we often hear arguments for viewing terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad and others as groups that do a lot of social good by way of their charitable works, we rarely hear of Arab dissidents who publish material strongly opposing the ideology of radical Islam… It’s ironic that some Americans are viewing the world through the eyes of radical Islam, because Arab dissident writers are now coming forward to state that such views are reprehensible and indicative of conscience-less manipulation by sheiks and other religious figures…
As long as media do not acknowledge their responsibility to report on the doublespeak mastered by Islamist figures here in the U.S., our time also may come. Again.
