US Muslims struggle with condemnation

[God of Mr. Hanky]

I actually wonder how much responsibility does one hold for ideas - If I'm a communist, am I supposed to apologize because "stalin"? "Hey guys, I'm sorry, but I just love worker's rights!". ??

I don't think Muslim organizations should be expected to apologize for other sectarian groups, nor for their own followers when they go and do what they do without their support. But even Christians condemn those who commit acts of terror in their name (few were silent when the IRA committed acts of terror in Northern Ireland and London). If said peaceful Muslims are unwilling to distance themselves from violent sects which justify their action from the same book which they go by, and make some attempt to publicly refute any claims that those passages should be interpreted as a call to commit violence, then why should anyone else believe they don't support violence? Their book calls on them to commit rape, genital butchery, murder, suicide, honor-killings, acts of terror, to practice the most barbaric excuses for justice since the 7th Century, while inciting idiots all over the world to assassinate anyone for the slightest insult to their ideas! Whether the people who do this are your brothers in Christ, Islam, or your fellow atheists, it should behoove you to demonstrate how they are not like you, if you can.
