Not all Muslims are Terrorists!

[CapnAwesome]

How many times do we hear this from non-muslims defending Islam? I probably hear it once a week in some form or another. No shit! You know what I have never heard in my life? Anybody say "All Muslims are terrorists" Nobody has ever said this. It's like people are arguing against a statement that has never been made ever. It's dishonest and distracting from the real problems that we have with Islam. Mainly that it preaches morality from the 6th century.

It's more in response to how certain people treat Arabians post-9/11 than what anyone specifically said. I've seen plenty of people make dumb comments in regards to people just wearing a turban on a plane because they associate all of them with the various terrorist groups that are out there, but don't feel the same way of Caucasians after a mass shooting.

At the end of the day from what I can figure they're mainly responding to racism.

I think you are probably right, which is of course another dishonest tactic that non-muslims use as a shield against criticism of Islam. It's pretty easy to criticize Islam and be called a racist, even though it has nothing to do with race. They might have the very best of intentions, but the most ignorant and dishonest of tactics.
