Muslims v. The Terrorists

Here's a great OpEd piece from Youssef Ibrahim, courtesy of USA TODAY.

Could it be that Muslims around the world are finally getting tired of hate groups like Hezbollah, Hamas and al Qaeda? Wouldn't that be something? If the "good Muslims" that we are always claiming not to be at war with actually stood up and told these terrorist scumbags to knock it off? Could it be that Muslim exremists are actually hurting Muslim and Arab causes the world over? Is it possible that Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Bahrain are going to side with free and democratic people everywhere? What an amazing picture that would make. A couple of swift kicks to Russia and China, and then this could be one big blue fuzzy marble again.
