Our Muslim citizens who stand by and don't speak out against acts like this are part of the problem.
Our Muslim citizens who don't turn out the radicals in their midst are a larger problem.

Mohammed Moussaoui, President of the Union of French Mosques, said, " We condemn this hateful, criminal act. While the terrorists are intensifying their acts to exacerbate the confrontation inside our country, both Muslims and Christians have to intensify their actions to make a United front against extremism.

Any reactions to his comments?

France sent a very important message to the terrorists today; we don't negotiate, we will kill you. Kudos to the police who killed at least three terrorists today, while saving the hostages.

Very good. Now I am waiting for such a declaration from people of similar stature here.

Same sources, same people were condemning the police in Missouri for being so armed. Congress was bombarded to have hearings about all the weapons that the police have.

The proper response to such attacks on the freedoms we hold dear is not to vilify any faith, but instead to marginalize extremists of all backgrounds who seek to stifle freedom and to create or widen societal divisions.
"We offer sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed or injured in this attack. We also call for the swift apprehension of the perpetrators, who should be punished to the full extent of the law."

Those situations were very different. Ferguson and the hostage situations in the Paris area.

I am trying to find Muslim Leaders in the United States to see what they have to say but I can't find any.

I did find this. The different interpretations of the same event I find interesting. click here It's from Radio Free Europe.

And I found out "There are 2 million Muslim adherents across the country in 2010.[98] Islamic populations are 0.6% of the US population per Fareed Zakaria quoting Pew Research Center, 2010."

Do you think that number has gone up?

Do you think almost all American Muslims would identify themselves as Muslims?

Who are the Muslim leaders in the United States?
