Back to the topic...
What this situation needs is an Uncle Ruslan. IMO he did lots for the image of Muslims in the aftermath of the Boston bombings when he said Islam had nothing to do with the bombings, his nephews were just losers.
Personally, I find it unconvincing when a bunch of WASP's on a hockey forum make posts about Islam being the religion of peace, and don't paint all Muslims with the same brush. But show me a pissed off relative/neighbour/Imam denouncing the violence and the perpetrators, and I buy it.
