[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]You are now acting like she is supposed to express some sort of loyalty oath that has to be word for word approved by you.

Not at all.  She is free to do or say whatever she pleases.  However, if she is going to don the mantle of "innocent Muslim victim of anti-Islamic violence," in effect to change the subject from the real concern, which is what to do about radical Islamic violence which is global, then it's appropriate to scrutinize her motives for doing so.[/quote]

Who put you in charge of deciding what is the "real concern". The OP, like every other American, has very little to fear from radical Muslim violence. However, she has a much more real fear of being the target of an anti-Muslim backlash. It is quite reasonable to understand that she is more concerned with the threat that she is more likely to face.

You have no right to tell the OP what should be her "real concern".

Your constantly repeated assertion that Muslims must denounce violence or otherwise be considered supporters of it is a bigoted position. Such expectations are not held for any other group. If you will provide your gender, race, and religion, I will happily supply a list of things that I expect you to denounce in order for you to be consistent with your expectations of Muslims.

There you go, distorting things again.  I did not tell her what "her" real concern should be.  I stated what THE "real" concern IS--the actuality and reality of global radical Islamic violence.

I am glad you believe that every American has little to fear from radical Muslim violence, but that's just your opinion, isn't it?

I think most Americans have far LESS to fear from "anti Islamic backlash."

It's a pure straw man, and the only reason OP even posted it is as a diversion from what "really" concerns most Americans.[/quote]
