> what also makes me horribly nervous is that when talking to muslims that are clearly well integrated, at work, or when going out. I can't get them to condemn terrorist behaviour. This sounds like a broad generalization; certainly I've heard people who are Muslim condemn this behavior. In fact the Sunni locals condemned and turned against these very people during the U.S. occupation. Consider also how many Catholics openly condemn the Catholic Church's child abuse, how many Jews condemn Israel's excesses, or how many Americans condemn an act of war based on a lie that killed over 100,000 Iraqis, or torture or indefinite incarceration without trial (or any war crime; the people who exposed the My Lai Massacre were widely condemned in the United States), or the unrestrained invasion of privacy of any person outside the United States? Not many people will openly condemn their own group, not wanting to air dirty laundry or appear disloyal.
