Religion: Believe what we say... not what we do

Headline from The Detroit News, December 9, 2004: U.N. hosts Islamophobia parley
"Muslims themselves, especially, should speak out, as so many did following the September 11 attacks on the United States, and show a commitment to isolate those who preach or practice violence, and to make it clear that these are unacceptable distortions of Islam."
Headline; same paper, same date: $156M awarded to slain teen's parents
Three Islamic charities and an alleged fund-raiser for the Palestinian militant group Hamas were ordered Wednesday to pay $156 million to the parents of an American teenager killed by terrorists outside Jerusalem.
Makes you kind of wonder if anyone finds the U.N. or Islamic leaders credible for anything these days.

Actions do speak louder than words.
