A further problem becomes apparent as soon as we ask why it is important that mainstream Muslim leaders stand up in public and say that their religion opposes killing innocent people, or that those who die when committing such acts are not “martyrs" and will not be rewarded in the afterlife. Why should Muslim leaders, in particular, make such statements, rather than Christian, Buddhist, Jewish, or Hindu leaders?
还有一个问题是主流穆斯林领袖为什么要站出来当众表示伊斯兰教反对滥杀无辜，或明确因施暴而死的人不是“烈士”，来世也不会得到奖励。为什么有基督教、佛教、犹太教或印度教那么多领袖，但只有穆斯林领袖要做出这样的声明？
