all I know about a "why" is that it's a controversal issue within the muslim community and they don't want to rock the boat. They are not put under much US political pressure to take a stronger stance against terrorism besides a brief "it's wrong". The jewish issue is an itch they can't scratch because Israel has a strong economy and islam controlled countries are a failure unless they govern without religious control, such as Turkey. The islam issue in Turkey arises every so often but it's objectively controlled by all in political control there. When the Ottoman Empire failed to follow Europe's industrial revolution they couldn't compete anymore. The rest is history. Turkey has been a model of what a muslim country can do successfully in raising standards of living. Afag and Iraq will, hopefully, fine tune that model. Libya has big possibilities due to somewhat absolute control by Kadafi. He can do a Chile routine and impose his will thus avoiding controversy. Chile is still the most competitive country in South A. They have had relatively recent eco problems due to the notorious failed "think" of the world bank and IMF's raising taxes & devaluation methods.
