re: Islamic clerics see the handwriting on the wall.

Beat me to it. I saw it over at Instapundit.
And that link includes this comment:
"This is a very clever tactic. Short of bringing bin Laden to justice I can't think of a better way to honor those massacred at his bidding. American Muslims would have made a lot of points in the U.S., and helped the War Against Terrorism, had they done something like this after 9-11. "

It's a good point. And why didn't American Muslims do this?

Another thing I thought about was maybe if Kerry was elected, the American Muslims might have done something like this (...yeah and pigs would fly too, I guess:). But better than this, what would happenned if Kerry and Dems were actually real politicans and had tried to get at least some of the Muslim community endorsing his presidency. Did he do this at all? I do know he somehow managed to get endorsed by Bin Ladin, but that was dead weight more than anything else.

I guess to be fair, I know that Bush spent some of his time reaching out to Muslims, so why didn't he try to push for this, or did he fear that his pushing for something like this would be seen by some as form of governmental pressure/oppression?
