Today's Toronto Star, "Leaders vow to root out extremism"

Muslim leaders say they feel a range of emotions — if allegations turn out to be true — toward the 17 men and boys accused of terrorism-related charges.

But they agree on one thing: It's time to get to the root of the problem.

Good. There is a perception by, well, me at least, that we don't hear enough from Moslems and Moslem leaders who are speaking out against terrorism. I don't know if they're just not doing anything noticable, or, much more likely, news sources in countries at war with Islamic countries aren't all that upset that people think Moslems all believe in terrorism, and don't try very hard to report what moderate Moslem religious leaders are doing to counter the extremism.

I think terrorism is a result of hatred and a lack of empathy. I'm suspiscious of those who seem to encourage hatred. We don't need more hatred. It seems to permeate every part of life these days.
