I see your point, but IMO, the outcry over pedophile priests came from the Press and the Catholic population. Many Bishops and Clergy were very slow to open up this festering wound. Especially when they had to know about it years and years before it happened.
Admitting there was a crime after you have been busted is much different than policing yourself. As a lifelong Catholic I was proud of the Catholic population for stepping up and demanding that the church do something.
Same with Islam. The population needs to act
collectively and in unison or else they risk a cultural war with the West. Like I said, they need a Reformation - a 98 Thesis on the Mosque door - to gain control of that religion.
I just wonder if the West has the balls and the attention span to force this internal paradigm shift, because they are showing no signs of changing. In fact, the more they get their message out there and gain support among socialists like the Spanish Govt, the farther away we are from realizing a peaceful Islam.
The more we pull out of engagements in Muslim lands the stronger their resolve becomes. The more wicked their attacks (i.e. Fallujah) become, the more the West is left aghast. And when they see that, they design more horrible attacks to get even stronger responses. And thus their resolve grows even more.
Just my .02.
