How so? A friend of mine organized a large conference related to the issue of violence in the Muslim world. There were great speakers. I was the audio-visual guy that put together a DVD of the conference and I thought it was well put together. At this conference violence and terrorism was decried and it was stated that they have to find ways to stop the violence before they can make any advances in economics, education and health. And despite being advertised in all the local papers and around all the local campuses, the only white people that showed up were myself, 2 speakers and 5 students that were ordered to go by their "International Development" professor. There are Muslims that are speaking out against the violence... they just don't have the abilities of the mass media so in many ways they end up talking to themselves. I don't know exactly how you would like them to speak out, but I'm all ears.
