I'm not asking for them to be responsible, I'm asking for them to take reasonable actions to prevent a Buffalo 2002 and a Buffalo 2011.The majority of Muslims know what Islam is. They can't be responsible for people that go awry just like Christians can be responsible for every person who kills a doctor that provides abortion or who want so kill gay people. For regular Muslims, their knowledge and practice of Islam is enough to not behave violently just as it is for Christians.
I'm not asking for it to be dominated - how about 3 hours a month? How about the uptown Mosque talks to a downtown Mosque and the Imam's have coffee or tea once in a while? There's nothing in the Qur'an that prevents such a thing. If moderation is what people of all religions are all about, I don't see this as unreasonable. If it's not happening now, it should.I think you're expecting more than is possible to give. These people's lives can't be dominated by trying to prevent people who they have nothing in common with but the name of their religion.
It's about not letting extremists hijack a religion and it's about peaceful people standing up for what they believe.What is it about?
