Muslim silence on persecution

Sir, – When comments deemed to be insulting to Islam are published in newspapers. we see a multitude of comments and letters of outrage from senior Muslim leaders and clerics about said alleged insults.

Why are these same people not publicly condemning the killing of non-Muslims in Iraq for not converting to Islam that we have seen over the last weeks? Why the silence? Do they condone this sort of behaviour from fellow Muslims? If not, why aren’t they protesting in the streets about these murders with the same vigour they apply when Islam is being apparently attacked or mocked? – Yours, etc,
