The "not all Muslims are terrorists" fallacy

[Regina]

It's a very real fear though. Honestly, who is to say there aren't hundreds, perhaps even thousands of ISIS members who are taking advantage of the European migrant crisis to sneak back into Europe? They've already caught some doing it.

"Not all Muslims!" is a silly derailment tactic. We have seen enough Muslim people being killed by other Muslims that we know it's "not all Muslims", there are far more Muslim victims of Islamism than there are non-Muslim victims. The problem is that hardly anyone in the West can see this, even the faux-liberal Islam-loving left, who defend the culture of Islam over real living Muslims who would benefit from properly enforced secularism (particularly females, LGBT and ex-Muslims).

It's not that "not all Muslims!" is wrong, it's in the context of how it's used. They never say this when a bigoted Muslim leader tries to speak for all Muslims, they only say it to non-Muslim westerners when they want to have a serious discussion about this religion. If you're serious about "not all Muslims!", I'm gonna have to ask you to also say that to Anjem Choudary, who thinks he represents "real Islam" and all Muslims.
