Grihshobha hindi Published this article page no 40 But why do Muslim clerics so seldom speak out about all the violent activities perpetrated in the name of Islam? Peace-Loving Muslim: Some do, but I agree, they should be more out there. But you must understand that, since they are peace-loving, they might never shout as loud as Muslims – and I I even hesitate to call the most violent ones by the term Muslims – who arent. If youll notice, crazy people generally scream, while peaceful people are more like to carry on a conversation, like this one. NewsLaugh: Yes, of course.
