re: I have zero respect for anyone who is a Muslim and doesn't stand up to this BS

The fact that so few of them seem to be acting on that opportunity is troubling

You have no idea how many or how few Muslims speak out against violence. You only know what the media you consume tell you. In my life I've had several conversations about this type of stuff with Muslim friends of mine, and more often than not, they initiate the conversation because they know I'm a redneck, which is something that is subject to its own stereotype. Not a single time has the topic come up when a Muslim friend hasn't condemned this stuff outright.

At any rate, there are no two people who are more different from each other than a murderer and a non-murderer, and it is absolutely ignorant to group the two together because you see the common thread of a religious background between them.

But then again, I'm only basing what I say on facts and personal experience. The cable news to which virtually this entire board is addicted clearly delivers a more trustworthy message.
