Oh how little you know...
You only know what the media tells you. Not the reality.
As my best friends mother who was a Koran Scholar said "This Bin Laden, he is bull****!".
Actually we know many Muslims feel the same way but instead of saying it privately to you they should be saying it publicly. If they are afraid. or at all reluctant to say anything publicly about problems in Islam, how can the public know how deeply the problem persists?
There are some brave Muslims who are publicly speaking out, most of them women it seems, but they often live under the threat of death. All the problems and attitudes in the Muslim community should be made public, which is why these hearings are a good thing. The last thing we need is to pretend there isn't a problem and hide it away hoping it will magically disappear. That's just more denial.
