That the only true jihad was the internal struggle each Muslim faces in adhering to the tenants of the Q'ran, and that murder is not sanctioned and should never be sanctioned. Again ... period.

So .... I guess it depends on whether or not the local leaders feel comfortable enough about reminding their flocks that murder is simply not appropriate. Not in the name of any god.
its a shame there isnt more of that out there. on single denunciation isnt going to make much of a statement though. it would be nice to see it en mass and more than just once by an isolated group. and the whole "fearing for my safety" argument doesnt really hold any water in my opinion.
