i am extremely dissapointed with most of the replies thus far. Something extremerly important is totally tossed aside and disredited. There were pages and pages of threads condemning and mocking Muslims, and when a VERY diverse group of scholarly muslims take the time to organize and craft a letter many of you deride it as a "show". Look at the variety of people signed...if this is a show, then us muslims go to great lenghts to lie *rolls eyes*.
Here they are engaging in dialogue, and many muslim-haters attempt to cast them aside, and then biatch about how only violence is heare- we are selectively choosing WHO to listen to.


Then again this is P&N...where only outlandish 1/2 truth b*llshit gets 100 replies and 300 views, ane anyone seriously wanting to engage in real debate is tossed aside.

You just figuring that out? You've got a enough flyover-state idiots to stop a thread in its tracks.
FWIW, I respect their decision to craft a letter, but I do agree they could do more to guide Muslims away from the scimitar and toward peace. Why not issue fatwas condemning the WTC attacks? With all of the major Muslim scholars as signatories, it would carry weight.

Because they're scared of the whacko's too??

Scared, or perhaps Muslims aren't the target audience of this letter.

As far as I can tell, this is a letter intended to convince the rest of the world that Islam is indeed a religion of peace.

Perhaps I would've been more impressed if they said that this letter was being printed in the millions, and air-dropped by C-130s over Muslim populations all over the world (namely Iraq).
