Believe it or not, I'd love to be wrong...

Now if these folks would actually do something to initiate change in their countries. Their "radical" partners are the ones garnering attention:

"Why today we see all this solidarity to protest the cartoons…as if only these pictures had insulted the Prophet Mohammad," Ali Mahdi wrote in a letter published in Lebanon's left-wing daily As-Safir.

"Don't you think that injustice, torture, illiteracy and the restrictions on freedoms (in the Muslim world) are also considered an insult to the Prophet…who called for the respect for human rights?"

But if these moderates actually start to change their countries, they'll get plenty of attention themselves.

But talk is cheap. Let's see some action. Let's see some protests in favor of change.
