Red Mosque crisis

Why are we not seeing clerics and Muslims protesting around the world, voicing their opposition to the Red Mosque's perverted version of Islam? Why does a single cartoon cause mass protests around the world, but taking hundreds of innocent women and children hostage and using them as human shields doesn't garner a peep? Where are the normally outraged in Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and on and on? Who will stand up publicly and denounce extremism? Their silence speaks volumes.

I think the government is paying the price for being far too lenient in the past with these fanatics. I think the government has to go in hard and fast and send a message out that they will not tolerate extremism in the country.
