Muslim outrage?

It's obvious that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it appears that most of the terrorist attacks are carried out by (radical) Muslims.

So my question is this: Why don't we see more outrage and condemnation from the Muslim community regarding the violent and destructive behavior of a small segment of Muslims?

Don't they realize that their silence is validating these senseless atrocities?

Don't they realize that they're fostering prejudice, distrust and fear in our citizens against the majority of Muslims, who are all good, law-abiding, and peace-loving citizens?
