Muslim blogger Omer Mozaffar publishes “short open letter to Anwar al-Awlaki” on his blog.

But, his actions are most definitely to be condemned. It is absurd that Muslims have to condemn the horrific actions of Muslims, while it should be understood that horrific actions are implicitly condemnable. It is all the more absurd because members of other communities are given the privilege of silence.

Indeed, we wish that American Muslim leaders would be more aggressive in criticizing the government on each major and minor infraction. In time they will be. But, if Nidal Hassan shot and killed those soldiers, then he was dead wrong. If you regard my comment as treason, then I’m sorry: we disagree. There are likewise plenty of Americans who regard any criticism of the United States (especially by a Muslim) as equally treasonous, and I disagree with them also.
