Police have detained several other suspects facing charges including conspiracy to murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Muslims, like American blacks, have to learn that moderates must publicly separate themselves from extremists who bare the same name.  If they don&#8217;t, screaming &#8220;racist&#8221; at people who assume they are all the same won&#8217;t help.
