"There is no leader that has made it a major issue. If there was the other leaders would fall in line. Then radical thoughts would never get beyond a passing fancy and others would discourage and wouldn't support them.

Currently it seems like they want to be "middle of the road", based on No real anti-terrorist muslim leader."

You make my point. There is no muslim leader (who are all "holy men") who will take a stand against terror. Now if that is true as you say it is, why will these "holy men" refuse to denounce terror. It's not the Jews or the USA or oppression or anything other than the fact that this stance is what they believe to be correct according to thier religion. And IMHO refusing to denounce beheadings & mass murder id light years from middle of the road.

"Only in a democracy can people get ahead by intelligence and hard work. Without the ability to get ahead and create self worth, man's natural instinct is to rebel. A good leader can harness that desire to further his cause. And that's how someone can strap themselves with explosives and kill innocent children."

When it comes to a leader harnessing desire, in the 20th century Hitler is without equal. Now I didn't say he was good, far from it. But his leadership forced the death of 20 million people in order to stop him. Even hitler as evil as he was, did not resort to strapping dynamite to his own people's children. Muslims do not do this because of leadership. THey do it because of twisted, evil beleifs taught by their mullahs & imams.
