I think you will find that they are not silent and that the main stream media choose not to give them a voice and that the govt also ignores them as it is not convenient for their propagandist agenda and narrative. There are Muslim groups out there ectively campaigning against radicalism. Man Monis' mosque contacted authorities with concerns about him; they were ignored. Etc, etc..
This article shows two things to me:
1- the threat is not Islam itself in its current modern interpretation. As practiced by the vast majority of Muslims but is instead the active campaign by the Saudi Monarchy. Of all the countries I the Miele East that have been invaded and occupied in the last 15 years, perhaps Saudi should have been the sole focus instead!
2- the U.S. Will not engage in a soft bAttle for hearts and minds as described I the article because there is no profit in it. They don't want to see radical Islam stopped, they want it to continue just enough to keep the populace scared enough to support the continued military action. This brings huge profit from sale of weapons to the U.S. And profit from increased price of oil to the Saudis. It is mutually beneficial to both parties to continue this charade of fighting radical Islam and the real victims are moderate modern Muslims who are unquestionably suffering the most with the impact of war, terrorism and extremist sects violently imposing their beliefs.
