Liberal Rag Vox: “Asking Muslims To Condemn Terrorism Is “Bigoted And Islamophobic”…
No, no it isn't...
Quote: There’s a certain ritual that each and every one of the world’s billion-plus Muslims, especially those living in Western countries, is expected to go through immediately following any incident of violence involving a Muslim perpetrator. It’s a ritual that is continuing now with the Sydney hostage crisis, in which a deranged self-styled sheikh named Man Haron Monis took several people hostage in a downtown café.
Here is what Muslims and Muslim organizations are expected to say: “As a Muslim, I condemn this attack and terrorism in any form.”
This expectation we place on Muslims, to be absolutely clear, is Islamophobic and bigoted. The denunciation is a form of apology: an apology for Islam and for Muslims. The implication is that every Muslim is under suspicion of being sympathetic to terrorism unless he or she explicitly says otherwise. The implication is also that any crime committed by a Muslim is the responsibility of all Muslims simply by virtue of their shared religion. This sort of thinking — blaming an entire group for the actions of a few individuals, assuming the worst about a person just because of their identity — is the very definition of bigotry.
It is time for that ritual to end: non-Muslims in all countries, and today especially those in Australia, should finally take on the correct assumption that Muslims hate terrorism just as much as they do, and cease expecting Muslims to prove their innocence just because of their faith.

Meanwhile, during the Sunday football games, I have to watch seemingly endless commercials telling me to stop the violence on women.

That just shows the utter insanity of leftists.
There is no reasoning with such inanity. Sensible people should stop trying and move forward with what is necessary.

Unless the "Peaceful" followers of Islam rise up in unified, loud and violent opposition to these criminal savages?...They will be in peril of suffering the same demise as those they support with their silence.
It is becoming more and more clear that total extermination of these savages is going to be necessary unless...Islam itself stops it.
