Certainly, not every Muslim is evil. Every single Islamic country, however, has either displayed neutrality or support for Hamas. Suicide is forbidden in the Quaran, so you would think that comitting suicide in the name of Allah would result in complaints of heresy from the Islamic nations. And yet, the majority of Islam political entities support an organization who who intentionally kills their own children. The fact that an awful lot of "moderate" Muslims seemingly show indifference to the victims of Muslim religious violence doesn't suggest great things about the religion. Where were the moderate Muslims calling for the death of Mohammed Bouyeri after he murdered Theo van Gogh in the name of Allah? Where were the moderate Muslims calling for the death of Volkert van der Graaf when he murdered Pim Fortuyn in order to "protect Muslims"? Where are the moderate Muslims calling for the Palestinians to stop shooting rockets at Israeli civilians? Where are the moderate Muslims calling for the protection of the Copts in Egypt? Where are the moderate Muslims calling for the protection of humanitarian workers in Afghanistan?
