[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1058444, member: 56232"] Nowhere does talking about Islamic extremism implicate all Muslims, is sort of the whole point of extremism, that it is the stuff that falls outside the norm. Saying right wing extremism doesn't implicate all right wingers, saying Christian extremism doesn't implicate all Christians so saying Islamic extremism doesn't implicate all Muslims. It is associated with Islam in that the people profess to be Muslim. Also yes the problem is larger than we may want to admit. Create a bunch of cartoons looking fun at each if the world religions and various political ideologies, which do you think would have the most heated condemnation and threats? Even so called moderates make excuses for death threats. Many moderate Muslims will obviously not condone violence but way way too many still try to excuse it and start shifting the blame, the whole "if you have criticized Islam this horrible things wouldn't have happened" defence. I've heard that from self professed moderates way too much. Hell one of the most prominent Islamic speakers online when asked about the tendency of Muslims to over react spent the majority of his answer attacking those that caused the reaction and making excuses for it. Nowhere in the response did he mention a need for Muslims to have a thicker skin and realise they can't dictate to others. [/QUOTE]
