They do. Regularly. It's just not splashed in the same fat headlines all over the front page. Who's fault is that, one might wonder. But if you look, there's always muslim officials distancing themselves from the attacks.
Orlando isn't any different. The head of American muslims distanced himself.
Again I have heard this central Fl imum speak on this subject several times and never once has he yet to identify this attack as a evil act perpetrated by a radical fanatic/s.
He simply says Islam is a religion of peace, do not rush to judgement, has held the media and politicians responsible for death threat on social media, and carefully worded the response 'those who practice evil do not worship allah' with the implication on the evil acts, but does not out right identify the shooting or the shooter as having committed an evil act.
my question is why? If someone like donald trump and hillary clinton can both agree on this being an evil act or even a terrorist act, then why is this man giving the impression that he is walking on egg shells?
