MUSLIMS, LIBERALS, AND LIBERAL MUSLIMS DENOUNCING EXTREMISM?

Here are three examples from just the past few days.

Ali Eteraz writes at the Huffington Post that Chomsky's "theory of dissent" needs to be expanded to include Islamic extremism.

Liberal blogger James Tiberius, of the New York Crank, scolds for "blowing up every election" they don't like, saying that if that is the way they will behave, "it's not a Jihad, it is a putsch."

And finally, Charles at LGF brings the news that "The leaders of a south New Jersey mosque where four of the Fort Dix terror suspects worshipped have come out with a strong statement denouncing extremism ..."

Hopefully, we are seeing the beginnings of a new movement on the left.

What do you think?

wishful thinking.

the left was opposed to the freakin cold war!

the will never take our side in this war.

we must defeat them. crush them/ prove their ideology to be utterly inane, false.

then we can defeat the jihad.

Ditto... it's going to take a lot more 'voices' to quell the violent factions.

Too much hatred. Too much fear.

Well, it has been so long since I have seen any sane commentary come out of the left that seeing it three times in one week truly surprised me.

James Tiberius is not "The New York Crank."

I am the New York Crank, and I ain't James.
