...hyphen-Americans. N.P.: Americans, period. Nothing like a common enemy to unite and focus all that diversity. O.P. says it's not about Islam. N.P. says if it's not about Islam, why isn't every Muslim leader rising to condemn bin Laden? Under the O.P., racial profiling was abhorred, officially at least. Now racial profiling of male air travelers from the Middle East seems an inevitable piece of common sense; it is no longer a matter of pulling people over merely for Driving While Black. After Sept. 11, I was a guest on an African-American radio show...
...find it difficult to accept the denunciations of the U.S. military action in Afghanistan. It is very easy to condemn the U.S. for killing and maiming civilians during the bombing, but what about the 5,000 who were killed on Sept. 11?

Although Reeves...
What is most disturbing of all is the fact that within the Middle East—where untold multitudes of people espouse beliefs that America’s now-familiar Muslim apologists insist are unrepresentative of mainstream Islam—there is a dearth of institutional voices condemning the fallacies of fanaticism. And yet such condemnations are precisely what is needed. The principled Muslim leaders of the West can do nothing to sway public opinion in Kabul or Karachi, Khartoum or Cairo. Absent a coordinated, concerted and continuous effort on the part of the Middle East’s clerics...
