lol what?
As a muslim, I'll be happy to let you know that we all denounce extremism ALL the time. Every single 'moderate' muslim I know always states that this is bull####, every muslim leader at the mosques also says this. Unfortunately since it doesn't hit main stream media, you don't see that stuff. You only see what the media puts out which is a fraction of what is going on in the world.
As for denouncing sharia law, we live in Canada. Muslims in the western world follow western law. To help educate you a bit, sharia law is a legal system created based on Islam in conservative nations and extremism (as conducted by terrorists) are actions of harm based on poor interpretations of extremely old verses in the Quran. The same exists with radical Christians, buddhist monks, and jews (Christian Heritage Party vs. Christian Extremists).
If Muslims in Canada and the western world followed Sharia law, they would likely be locked up based on Canadian laws, because last time I checked, there is no governance for Sharia law here.
With this new found knowledge, please tell me what you would like muslims to do to denounce this? Make signs stating 'Muslim's are not terrorists'? Make rap songs stating that terrorists don't represent muslims?
Here is a good start to help you see what we try to preach:

At the end of the day, it is virtually impossible to have EVERY moderate muslim in the world speak on behalf of the actions of a few. It's like me asking you (assuming you're Caucasian and/or Christian) to please denounce the KKK, the christian extremist who shot up the Wisconsin Sikh temple, various planned parenthood bombings, etc.
