... but racist groups aren't.
The fact that I'm not asked to answer for the behavior of white-supremacist groups, while random Muslims are expected to answer for the acts of other Muslims who have a different version of their religion -- that fact is the point. It's a double standard.
If my son were a white-supremacist, I would denounce him (and any atrocity he might commit). But some random asshole up in Idaho? He has to answer for himself. And I have the luxury of holding that attitude, because it is not expected of me to answer for him.
You want an American Muslim to condemn acts of terror? They do it all the time. They have to -- it is expected of them.
