(Washington Post) Don Oldenburg - Kamal Nawash would like to see tens of thousands of Muslim Americans join his March Against Terrorism on Saturday in Washington, but he likely won't. Nawash, 34, is the outspoken president of the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism. A Palestinian who came to the U.S. with his parents and six siblings when he was 9, Nawash issues news releases, applauds convictions of Muslims found guilty of terrorist ties, and hammers out online diatribes against fundamentalists for turning his religion "into a killing machine." Muslim American leaders hesitate to come down hard on terrorism, he says, not because they support the violence, but because they share with terrorists the dream of a theocratic Islamic state.
