White supremacists have not declared "Jihad" on western civilization and are miniscule in comparison to the size / scope/ organization and mass volume of violence .  The radical Muslim threat is so large that millions innocent Muslims could easily be killed in collateral damage if these factions succeed in their goals.  You would think self-preservation alone would dictate constant and definantive counter propaganda by the highest Muslim leaders.[/quote]

According to the US Department of State:

"In cases where the religious affiliation of terrorism casualties could be determined, Muslims suffered between [b]82 and 97 percent[/b] of terrorism-related fatalities over the past five years."

But, there really are no such thing as "highest Muslim leaders". This is a point of misunderstanding that constantly frustrates me. Shia Islam is more structured with various leaders, but Shias are a minority. Sunni Islam is sort of like a bunch of Baptists in that practically anyone can can become some kind of leader. Even when there are acknowledged leaders, their authority of those leaders is limited. But, clearly, there are a lot of Muslims leaders whose followers are victimized by terrorism far more than Americans. Those leaders do speak out and always have.
