Because of your reasons for stating it, which are pretty clear in the context of the discussion in which you state it.No,I get grief for stating it.
Example 1:
Someone claims all muslims are terrorists. You state that they are not. You won't get grief for that from a rational person.
Example 2:
The discussion is about the global problem fundamentalist Islam poses,and that it needs to be reformed from within and from without by both rational people and by moderatemuslims. You reflexively blurt out, "not all muslims are terrorists!"
Rational people should give you grief for that red herring and for your efforts to shield an bronze age set of bad ideas from criticism.
As these examples show, one does not have to ask your for your motivations, in either case. They will rightfully and naturally be assumed.
