				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/girlflag.gif"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-73784" title="girlflag" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/girlflag.gif" alt="" width="375" height="331" /></a></p>
<p><strong>[This article is reprinted from <a href="http://www.desmoinesregister.com">DesMoinesRegister.com</a>.]</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">You  may get a hundred different answers from a hundred American Muslims  about what it means to be an American Muslim. The controversial Islamic  center near ground zero, while pouring salt in a yet widely-open  national wound, did begin to awaken us to the yet unfought war of ideas  within the &#8220;House of Islam.&#8221; Many of us reform-minded Muslims have been  waging that war of ideas for most of our adult life, long before 9/11.  But time has shown that we cannot wage this battle alone.</span></span></p>
<p>It may  not seem to matter much for a faith community that is barely 1 percent  of the population, but American Muslims carry an invaluable ability to  influence the ideologies of over 1.5 billion Muslims &#8212; over a fifth of  the world&#8217;s population. Until middle America realizes how our national  security hangs in the balance of that intellectual war within Islam, our  security will never improve.</p>
<p>The last 12 months have seen the  most arrests and attacks of radical Islamists on Americans since 9/11.  This was confirmed to Congress last month by Homeland Security Secretary  Janet Napolitano, who also finally acknowledged the growing homegrown  threat of radical Muslims.</p>
<p>Sadly, many of my co-religionists  called on by media to speak for American Muslims too often wallow in  denial, simply deflecting any responsibility by distancing themselves  from radicals or myopically equating Muslim radicals to those of other  faiths. They willfully ignore the main ideological conveyor belt towards  radicalism &#8212; political Islam.</p>
<p>Most Americans no longer accept  these detached irresponsible dismissals from leading American Muslims.  They see so many examples of American Muslim clerics who condemn terror  out of one side of their mouth while deceptively amplifying victimology,  Islamophobia, anti-Americanism and morally vacant justifications from  the other.</p>
