To all Muslim, friends and acquaintances and strangers:
Now is the time to speak out and condemn all types of barbarities.
You have no more time to avoid condemning other Muslims' radical activities against non-Muslims because you think you are somehow betraying your faith.
Terrorist barbarism eviscerates the peaceful tenants of your faith as well as all other faiths and systems rooted in the morality of universal brotherly love.
You must speak out loudly; you can no longer wait, because if you do, the enemy without and those within will come for you too.
Jake many do but they are under reported. I have to run the dog right now but chew on this while I'm gone.
You are a moderate Imam in one of the many moderate mosques we have in our countries. An atrocity such as Orlando, San Bernadino, Paris you name it happens.
First response. And I know more moderate Muslims than most; first response "Oh shit please don't let it be a Muslim". Second response "God I hope I don't know him".
Third response "I'm pissed off who was THIS freaking asshole".
But before said moderates can make it to a microphone you have every bloody liberal asshole apologist out there blaming everything else except for the radical Islamist/jihadist/extremist.
Think about it. Whether it's Obama/Hillary/Kerry/Loretta Lynch <fill in the freaking blank> they get to the microphones first defending the religious aspect of the actions of the crazy mother trucker and trying to say it has nothing to do with a perversion of Islam and refusing to call it what many Muslims prefer to call it.
Radical Islam. Because it sets the jihadist apart from the norm. It sets the radical apart from them.
The asshole liberals and the apologists drown out the voices of the moderates. Their quotes show up on page C52 three days later because all the rest hogged the limelight to push their agenda.
