We do have some strong moderate Muslims in the US even who will make TV appearances often and say mainly the same things that Pat is about the radicals, hopefully they have a lot more people behind them.
All 23 of them. If you were to hold your breath for the Million American Muslim March Against Terrorism you would turn blue and die.
And do not wait for the Muslim March against Sharia in America. It is not going to happen.

I can think of maybe four who are of public figure status but yeah, 23 majors would be a long shot. I'm sure there likely are many mosques who are very anti, just that I would have to wonder what the stakes are, Mecca technically being Rome, and whether their willing to have people sweep in on them calling them apostates. Its a sad fact that good people are usually less equipped for that kind of row than those who aren't quite so good but, you'd hope they've got a Dirty Harry or Steven Segal somewhere in the bunch who's got it covered.
