James Joyner | Wednesday, February 8, 2006 |
John Burgess notes that many Middle Eastern opinion leaders are (counseling calm reaction to the Danish cartoons that have so many Muslims angered to the point of rioting. Most interestingly, an Arab entrepreneur is launching a new comic book extoling the peaceful virtues all Muslims should live by.
One hopes these efforts are successful. Further, we’d like to think that they are more representative of the silent majority of Muslims than the constant violence that is perpetrated in their name. Unfortunately, deeds speak louder than words and the actions of a minority can overwhelm the good intentions of a passive majority.
