Had you read the link, my point would have been clear to you.

I'm not sure if you are being deliberately dense or not. When some guy posted a cartoon of fucking mohammed they were rioting in the streets all over the world.
SOME were. Are you actually thinking that they represent the currents of Muslim thought?

Wait, you were just asking where the denunciations were, and I linked you some ... and now you're saying you don't care what "some self-proclaimed leader says" (as if you are the arbiter of who speaks for Muslims, lol).
Maybe you should make up your mind what it is you want. From this vantage, you appear to be implacable, never pleased with what is offered.

It seems to me from recent studies in Tunisia and Egypt that these ISIS motherfuckers are regarded as heroes because they are...what? Standing up to the West? They've been getting the shit blown out of themselves since they started that. Overrunning Maliki's army? That was a foregone conclusion to anyone who watched the South Vietnamese Army collapse in 1975.
I don't see "general outrage" in the West, either -- just the indiscriminate flinging of bombs at brown people as if they're all the same lump. You should be ashamed of yourself for playing into the hands of Hannity/Cheney/neocons in general, instead of using your critical-thinking skills.
You are just more evidence that "atheist" is not equal to "rational" -- your willingness to generalize about all Muslims in the face of evidence in this thread is clear.
Also, you've got to settle down your moving goalposts. First you're asking for moderates to stand up, then you're wanting them to inform about plans they probably don't know about, now you're asking for them to be marching in the streets against this terror. Say what it is you really want, and stop moving those goalposts.

Again, I've never used that term, because I don't buy it myself. If you're going to try and paste that on me, I'll challenge you to find one post of mine, anywhere online, using this name or "Thumpalumpacus", where I say that.
Otherwise, you're simply trying to strawman me. That shit ain't flying. Use your head.
