I admire your optimism Ibn but alas, it seems forum members are either indifferent, or have no problem with it.
Salaam Alaikum!
I would also add worldwide. More serious, however, is that, there has been little from Muslim speakers on it. I've been to many forums, chats and dialogues and little has been said on the issue, much less a universal condemnation. I presume that most are waiting for the Muslim speakers to say something about it and then come out and condemn it afterwards. Sounds like rote authority-worship to me. I hope more and more Muslims will just come out and fervidly condemn it to the fullest. (with the exception of Shereen, Muslimah and Senorita) That is the kind of Jihad I've been opting for. Then again, no one ever said the “Sirat Mustaqeem” (“Strait Path”) would come short and sweet. And no one ever said there was an alternative to its lengthy walk, either.
