Not enough (media) are reporting on this, so I thought it would be fair to give those folks a voice.
Muslim Americans Condemn Attack - IslamiCity
1) We assert unequivocal condemnation based on our religious values and our identity as American Muslims;
2) We do not need to defend every maniacal incident emanating from the Muslim world or the Muslim community, just as other religious groups need not defend their extremists;
3) We offer compassion to the victims and solidarity with all Americans in the face of danger;
4) Notwithstanding the disbelief that anyone following the faith of Islam could commit such a heinous crime, we condemn the act regardless of the identity of the perpetrators;
5) We deplore the irresponsible reporting that twists the realities and complexities of the Muslim world in order to project only anti-American sentiment during this disturbing period when we are all attempting to move beyond the state of mourning for the national tragedy;
6) We warn against opportunists who will exploit the misery and hysteria of the public in order to promote a political agenda aimed at tarnishing the name of Islam and Muslims;
7) We should not diminish our resolve to be active in protecting the civil liberties of all Americans and struggling for justice both locally and globally;
8) We need to organize activities to help the victims medically, psychologically and in every other way we can.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"These attacks are against both divine and human laws and we condemn them in the strongest terms. The Muslim Americans join the nation in calling for swift apprehension and stiff punishment of the perpetrators, and offer our sympathies to the victims and their families."

Just one link, of which there are many. So..what does it take for ALL MEDIA to report or interview a spokesperson for Islam? A banner hanging off a mosque building? An airplane flying a banner behind it? They are probably too afraid to have a meeting a park with a loud speaker cuz some nut will shoot first and ask questions later.
So....again...what do you want the non violent muslims to say? What do you want them to do?
