Muslim Sentiment Turning Against Al Qaida

Obviously words are cheap and we need to see more action backing those words, but this is still promising news.

(AP)The denunciations were unexpectedly harsh from the Islamic fundamentalist groups - Hamas has killed hundreds of Israeli civilians in suicide bombings, and the Brotherhood is determined to impose an Islamic government - but experts agree that radical Muslim organizations want to distance themselves from al-Qaida.

....Since November's attacks on a Jordanian hotel that killed more than 60, al-Qaida has increasingly been criticized for killing civilians. And when bin Laden issued an audiotape earlier this month, many observers said his new call to support Palestinians against "Zionists" and "crusaders" was a move to boost declining popularity in the Muslim world.

Hoefully it continues.
