Below is some commentary in the Tele this morning, which I think is well written.

This may be interesting to those that are critical of the Murdoch press.

I do not agree with the authors but at least they get opportunity to put their views and they have done so in a reasonable manner.

Just thought OLO posters may be interested to read

Dear Banjo,

Yes they are written by Islamists - but moderate
Islamists - not fundamentalists. Therein lies
the difference.

I posted Lexi,s first link in the other thread and many more.
Afraid after years of open minded study of the Koran, observation of actions world wide I have come to an understanding.
Like the Church of my birth, very much like the Catholic Church of the past.
Control sometimes falls in to the hands of the very wrong.
AT LEAST CONSIDER America is hated because its creeping culture TV film ext, are taking the power away from angrey little men with towels on their heads.
Look at every war America went in to in the middle east_for every hater a thank you exists.
And sadly, you only have to look, for every we are sorry yoi read you will see the but.
Only from within the Muslim community, no place else, can this be fixed.
Try as I do still, being friendly , walking in to a Muslim store in a place I once knew, your gday mate is returned with a snarl.
