there actually might be some arabs that get it

when a member of your club does some heinous act, everyone in the club is assumed to be at least a co-conspirator. when muslims do horrifying acts in the name of their religion, the entire population of muslims are blamed. well, it seems that the "islamic street" if you will, is getting the message. a couple of quotes :

"It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims," Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, the general manager of the widely watched satellite television station Al Arabiya said in one of the most striking of these commentaries.

In Jordan, a group of Muslim religious figures, meeting with the religious affairs minister, Ahmed Heleil, issued a statement on Wednesday saying the seizing of the school and subsequent massacre "was dedicated to distorting the pure image of Islam."

these are snippits from a very good article today in the NYT by John Kifner. one of the predominate comments regarding the islamofacists and the arab world was the lack of condemnation of the part of joe average against the attacks. guess they ARE finally getting it.
