Well, I would be interested in riots protesting terrorist attacks.

Well, I'm sure they would be interested in riots protesting the civilian deaths in their countries due to our bombs...

After all, most of the war protests are small (opposition to it is large) and focus on getting our troops out of there...

I would be even more interested in them turning on their own extremists and engaging in a civil war to purge themselves of their cancer.

Civil War? I'm sorry, but al-Qaeda is much too small of an organization and controls no land. It would have to be a..."war on terror". But it also must be done ideologically which is why this response by an important Muslim scholar was such a pleasing find on google:

*it's long, and I skimmed through it, but it is a good read*

Also, there was this interesting interview with Sadr in Newsweek, that firebrand Iraqi cleric, who earlier was on our hitlist because he was able to hold back our military quite effectively, and only backed down when his superior Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani wagged his finger. He was talking about how he classified the Sunni's into two groups:

1) The majority who are his brothers in Islam
2) The takfiri's who follow Zarqawi and kill Iraqis and need to be fought

See, I think that the Muslim world in general is doing it's best to shed the unfair 'terrorist' label...

If this isn't enough evidence, than I don't know what is...
