Al-Qaida Attack Survivor Wages His Own Jihad

UNITED NATIONS (Oct. 11) -- On Ashraf al-Khaled's wedding day, a suicide bomber killed 27 members of his family. Five years later, al-Khaled is waging his own jihad -- against terrorism.

The Jordanian wants to stop young Muslims from becoming radicalized, and he is urging other terror attack survivors to be more vocal in the condemnation of the bloodshed.

Wouldn't it be helpful to the so-called moderate Muslims to rise up and challenge the radicals? If they did, support for their cause would definitely grow. I believe it is because they don't seem to even be offended by it, that our suspicions are as high as they are, here in the west. When we had threads about the building of the mosque in N.Y. City close to Ground Zero, many of us related our perceptions of the words and the spirit of the Koran, being to kill or to subjugate those who didn't believe as they do.

Have the radicals really hijacked the religion, or is this lack of action telling the true story?

Only when the western world lives as our people have will they fully understand our reasoning.

I like this Achmed guy!

Please don't ask to see a body part. It can't be pretty.

I like Achmed the dead terrorist, does that count?

By your own definitions many who faught in your revolutionary war would be considered terrorists. It is all in ones perspective.

This is what most Americans are looking for. There are moderate Muslims. His opening statements are terrific!
