US Muslims struggle with condemnation

[God of Mr. Hanky]

There does seem to be some cognitive dissonance here, **sigh**:

Race is a natural group, racism is artificial.

Islam is artificial.

You should never have to answer for what anyone else does on account of anyone's ridiculous association of you to said asshole on account of your race - this  is no choice that you ever could have made! Race is not a choice because you could never have had the option of shedding your skin in trade of one more politically fashionable.

Islam is in fact a choice, hard though that choice may be for many of its followers when they choose to swim against the stream. You really do have the choice not to publicly endorse Islam, and you can even walk away from it completely. The idea that anti-Islamic sentiment is a race thing is the work of Islamic asshats, and the even bigger non-Islamic or white ones who get paid to project their wrongs on the rest of the world. It's easy to do, considering how overzealous cops have profiled those who "look Islamic", but the fact is that people of all races are Musims - Islam is not a natural physical trait!

Sorry, but based on the above, I see no valid point in your argument.

What you're missing is that you're grouping all Muslims together.  When you get to seeing that, we can perhaps make headway in this discussion.

I'm not nor have I ever argued that Islam is a race. That is a strawman you're beating there. You should learn the difference between a comparison and an equivalence.

Yes, I am grouping all Muslims together, as one group which follows the same holy book, and I need not apologize for that! From the very reasonable perception of outsiders to Islam, it's a fair judgment to make. It is full of some extremely evil ideas, which influence much horrific and barbaric behavior. Millions of Muslims read this book, and follow it to the letter, and where the f*** are the Muslims who actually stand up and explain to the world how wrong they feel this is? There are none, there are only people like you who cry "NOT FAIR"!

Yes, I am vaguely aware that Islam is deeply divided, if not quite as interestingly splintered as Christiantiy with over 400,000 sectarian divisions, and when one group decides to kill people or starve children to death, others who follow their holy book are not silent!

Either give us a credible reason to believe that your holy book, in its ugliness as we understand it, is not your religious, social, and political philosophy, or go cry up a river elsewhere!
