Re: Paris Shootings.
The lily livered approach never works...diplomacy seldom works...what is needed is what Francois Hollande has suggested, that is a concerted effort by many nations to root out ISIS...stop them in their tracks..deprive them of funding, destroy their weapons.
I have heard very little condemnation from Muslim leaders, Imams and such like...when we hear nothing from ordinary Muslims it is thought that they condone what is being done in the name of their religion.
I know that muslims have stood in the silent crowds...but silence speaks volumes.
They should be shouting from the rooftops 'Not in My name.....this is not the Islam that I follow'.....that they say nothing means that we have to make our own conclusions. that these conclusions MIGHT be wrong needs to be addressed and thus far it has not been.
