Let's be realistic.   The amazing thing is not that many Moslems are silent on the outrages happening in Iran, but that after 30 years the anti-West (and therefore anti-Israel also) Moslem wall is cracking.   Educated and intelligent Moslems are starting to realize, in large numbers--as the column ( please cite the exact source from now on) just posted points out--that being anti-West and anti-Israel is not the alpha and omega of political consciousness.

It is in fact patently absurd to expect mea culpas from the Moslem world for excesses committed by the Iranian revolution 30 years ago.   After all, consider what happened to courageous statesmen like Sadat when he dared to make peace with Israel. And consider what is now happening in Iran to those who do question just one diktat of the theological state.
