the slippery slope that led to slaughter, page-2

"Yet in the painful failure of Islamic intellectuals, academics and political and religious leaders to speak out against the atrocities committed against Jews, they allowed a minority of extremists to push the fringe of their faith down the slippery slope to Beslan."

That's the problem with this religion, the lack of anyone who'd pass as an 'intellectual' and it's reverence of terrorists who kill innocent people. This is not a comment on Arab muslims, it is a comment on all muslims.
