Which was a long time ago.
Whether people like it or not, other muslims absolutely do have a responsibility to shout down the extreme elements of their faith. Fuck anyone who says otherwise. Nothing more than enablers.
That's horse shit. Every extremist group claims to be "the voice of the people".
So you, white guy, spend your time and energy publicly shouting down the white supremacist groups, who claim that they're just saying aloud "what all white people feel but are too afraid to voice in this PC society".
Am I disturbed and appalled by the 25% figure, cited above? Yes! But there is a significant fear and intimidation factor toward those who would speak out, especially in the countries where they can be retaliated against for doing so, and where most of that 25% live. And yet, they do speak out:

Do I think that even the average Muslim is extreme by post-Enlightenment, Age-of-Reason standards? Yes! But I think the same of 75% or Christians, as well.
I know I will condemn white supremacists agian and agian, not like that 'moderate' above who is clearly an anti semitic piece of shit. And as for 75% percent of Christians comment, let's say that is true, how does that jusitfy even one act of extremism in islam?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
