Free Muslims against terror

According to AFP, yesterday's march against terror didn't draw a big crowd. I guess it's not too surprising. According to a short item in the "Metro in Brief" section of the Washington Post, about 60 people attended.
The Post had a much longer article about the founder, Kamal Nawash, in Friday's paper. Reading it, I get the uncomfortable feeling that I wouldn't be very comfortable with all his views on the Middle East, which he doesn't discuss at all. A link from Kesher Talk, confirms my misgivings. Free Muslims against Terror recommends a binational state. Not a binational state in the normal sense, but essentially two states that make up a whole. A federation.
The argument presented is that the idea of two states hasn't worked yet, so it's time to try something new. But there is a reason that two separate states haven't worked so far, and it's not at all clear that that problem would be solved by a bi-naitonal state.
I find it encouraging that groups like CAIR object to Nawash. However according to a critical commenter at a Islamic blog, he seems to have been so anxious to get sponsors that he didn't vet his groups very well. LGF notes another discordant element..
As far as unfree Muslims supporting terror go, apparently they are largely our friends the Saudis. For many of the Jihadist in Iraq 9-11 marked a "religious awakening."
