Arab Newspaper Slams Muslims

Tariq Al-Humayd, editor-in-chief of London-based Al-Sharq Al Awsat newspaper, lashed out at Britain's Muslims for "turning a blind eye to terrorist fundraising activities on their own doorstep."

"In London, we have seen, and are seeing, the money being collected in the streets, and the conventions under various titles, and everyone is inciting jihad in our Arab countries and cursing the land of unbelief in which they live," he wrote.

"When you express amazement [at this], they tell you that this is freedom. Has freedom no responsibility? No one answers."

Good for him; it's about time some Muslims stand up for the good guys.
