Short answer, if you're not affiliated with certain actions, you shouldn't be called out. You had no part in it, so you're not guilty by association.
I didn't say apologize. I didn't say call out. I didn't say guilty by association.

If a self professed atheist commits a act of atrocity in the name of atheism I'm certainly going to condemn it. Not being in the public eye, I may not be asked but that does not stop my condemnation.
Were they condemned by the Christian and Jewish communities in general? Were they condemned enough? If I go out to Google, will I find enough condemnations by those groups to satisfy my need to hear people condemn bad things? What if I'm still afraid not enough of them are condemning it?
Since it's been established that we have a right to expect condemnations to the degree we want to hear them. After all, the complaint isn't that no Muslims are condemning atrocities, so it would not be sufficient for me to post a few linkies that show at least some of them do. Maybe it's only a minority that do, that would mean the majority aren't condemning awful things.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
