So another RightWing rag has claimed that muslims aren't "doing enough" to help denounce Islamofascism:
From a May 7 WorldNetDaily column by Larry Klayman:
BHO uses Osama death to further Muslim interests

In an orchestrated public-relations campaign following the death of Osama bin Laden (OBL), President Barack Hussein Obama, in conjunction with the American Muslim community, sent forth messengers, like the Ground Zero mosque Imam Faisal Rauf, to spew forth an amazing message: The time for "healing" between Muslims, Christians and Jews has come with OBL's demise. In other words, non-Muslims should allegedly stop persecuting and get "off the backs" of Muslims and look the other way regarding their general nonchalance toward terrorism.
Given that Muslims had nothing to with OBL's assassination, the notion that they should profit from and are deserving of so-called healing is not only bizarre, but also outrageous. The hard fact is that most Muslims in the United States have remained silent in the years since 9/11 and have done little to nothing in the way of healing. One of the biggest offenders in this regard is the "mullah in chief" himself, who not only refused last year to have a White House celebration of the National Day of Prayer, but instead feasted the Muslim holiday of Ramadan. Obama used the occasion, not coincidentally, to endorse the Ground Zero mosque.
In short, what we saw this week was Obama and his Muslim friends literally "making love" with each other, all made possible thanks to the death of OBL. While it was "theatre of the absurd," there does not seem to be a denouement in sight to Obama and his administration's support of Muslims at our expense.

But maybe that rag should be asking why should they, given this kind of crap happens to muslim men and women right here in the land of the free all the time:
Pilot refuses to fly two Muslim men to tolerance conference
Two Muslim men were removed from a flight bound for North Carolina before the plane took off Friday, reportedly because they were clad in traditional Muslim garb, making the pilot and other passengers uncomfortable.
The two men, Masudur Rahman and Mohamed Zaghloul, are both imams and were headed to a conference to discuss Islamophobia — fear of Islam — and tolerance with other religious leaders.
Rahman compared his plight to the Civil Rights movement, and told a CNN affiliate, "That history I found today in that plane, and it shouldn't happen with any other person," he said.
The men have contacted the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which said the case will be pursued.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the group, said that the men had gone through multiple security checks and gotten on the plane, but that the pilot had taxied it back to the gate.
Transportation Security Administration "came on and pulled them off and said the pilot was refusing to fly with them because passengers were uncomfortable with them," Hooper said. Rahman and Zaghloul were re-screened and still didn't present any threat, but the pilot "absolutely refused" to fly them on the plane.
Representatives for Atlantic Southeast Airlines, which operated the Memphis-Charlotte flight, said that the incident was under investigation, and that the men had been offered seats on another flight.
