No outrage in the Muslim world, is there, or in Europe or Africa or Asia? How do you think this would have gone over had it been two Jewish men entering a Mosque and hacking and shooting to death three Muslim clerics?

Glenn - I did a Google search on 'World condemns Jerusalem attack' and found:

AJC Praises World Leaders Who Condemned Jerusalem Synagogue Attack

WCC condemns attack on worshippers at Jerusalem synagogue

A few commentators here and there have condemned it, but even then like the WCC statement they have to put in a context that almost excuses the murders. They could have just condemned it.
