More on Acid Throwing
The New York Times posted this video the other day about acid throwing attacks in Pakistan. It's worth a look. Once again, where is the Islamic outrage at this barbarism amongst their own? The threat, the stereotype, the phobias, the fear, the hatred is all manufactured by such barbaric acts within the ummah.

Leo I have to say, why are muslims always called on to explicitly stop what they are doing to voice outrage at the work of various idiots?
I don't demand that my American friends voice their outrage every time one of their compatriots does something stupid. I imagine that they, like me, have better things to do with their time, like working hard, getting ahead in life, etc.
Or, am I missing something?

My point not directed at all Muslims so much as it is directed at those who do explicitly stop what they are doing (if they were doing anything to begin with) to express their outrage at every perceived slight to Islam. The poor image of Islam in the West is equal parts Western ignorance and the inability of a vocal sector of Muslims to redirect their anger toward the idiots in their mist that sully their name and give fodder to those who would malign their religion in the West.
So, I don't expect you to stop what you are doing, but I wish those idle people who get all worked up about every injustice the West perpetrates would also get worked up over stuff like this and help to clean up their own house.
