Thomas Friedman on Muslims and Jihadists

Rare is the day when Thomas Friedman has a column that actually makes sense.  In fact, so rare is this blue moon that I felt it deserves a post. 

In brief, NYT columnist Thomas Friedman had a provocative column yesterday discussing competing narratives in the Muslim world about America.

The rub of Friedman’s piece is that if Muslims claim that the image of Islam is not that of the Jihadists, then Americans should believe them. 

And, in turn, Muslims should explain to Americans exactly what the positive image of Islam is, and how it is being promoted.

Fair enough, Friedman. Fair enough.
