I hope that Pakistanis are getting this message in their own language as well. (Hat Tip to LGF).

THINKING ALOUD: Image mirrors reality

Take the most recent example of the image problem, although I doubt that Muslims would have seen it in this light: armed Iraqis holding daggers and knives to the throats of three abducted Japanese civilians, including a woman who went there to help Baghdad’s homeless children, and threatening to slit their throats amid cries of “Allah-o-Akbar.” It was no figment of the “infidel” West’s imagination, the film having been made by the abductors themselves and proudly passed on by its producers to the Arab Al-Jazeera television to be shown to the world. Ten thousand speeches about peace and tolerance in Islam will not be able to undo the damage done by this odious sight projected worldwide as wished by its Muslim producers.

Read it all.

From what I've been reading lately, it seems that a strong anti-Jihad force is starting rise up in various Middle Eastern nations, contradicting Mubarak's recent speech about Arabs hating the West more than ever. Maybe I just want it to be true, but I'm hopeful.

And see, LGF does (on occasion) print the message of moderate Islam.
