Why would you ever agree that muslims ARE terrorists when they are NOT!

Terrorism inspired by Islamic Fundamentalism is responsible for the worst terrorist attacks in the United States, and some of the worst in Europe. Even though the overwhelming majority of all acts of terrorism in the West are not related to Islamic fundamentalism, these high-profile attacks have led many to associate terrorism itself with Islamic fundamentalism (and therefore Islam in general). 1

I don't call Muslims terrorists. I call Muslim RADICALS terrorists. I call Christian RADICALS terrorists. I call political RADICALS terrorists. That said, any of those who quietly go about their business, (or religion, or party) and do not speak out loudly AGAINST any terrorism connected to their group are "backdoor terrorists" in their own right! I hear little outrage from the "peaceful ones" whose organizations are being degraded by radicals! I would feel better about them, and be more likely to believe they ARE peaceful if I saw, or heard, more from them! Make some noise! Show some anger! GIVE us something to believe in! OR, just sit back and let the hate develop as it has. 2

You are clearly just not looking in the right places. And the media isn't helping. There are tons of anti-ISIS groups that are completely Muslim. ISIS kills more Muslims than any other group. They are most certainly not being complacent. That said... it's not their responsibility. In order to be a non terrorist, you don't have to actively denounce terrorists. That would be like me saying that you most likely sympathize with the KKK because you aren't making enough noise against them. 1

I would not agree that Muslims are inherently terrorists - but Islam does 100% support what they do. Granted, that isn't something exclusive to Islam. If the majority of people followed their religion (whatever that may be) to the point, then we would have a plethora of terrorist attacks. That said, the Quran pretty explicitly encourages maiming, or even killing people that don't follow Islam. |
