It really is sad and pathetic how liberals such as yourself use variation in the individuals who identify themselves as Muslims to ignore the things that Islam painly says and the effect those things have on people's behavior. Here is an article written with people like you in mind:

Yes, I understand that you believe that every Muslim should be blamed for every idea or action that any other Muslim has. The pride you take in your bigotry is familiar to us. You proudly call yourself an atheist, while just as proudly tout your particular dislike for Islam. When we are in need of atheist Islamophobes to advise us on Islam, I'm sure you will be the first we call.

[b]As usual you completely fail to understand the distinction between the person and the belief system[/b]. I am saying that Islam should be blamed when Muslims act in accordance with the reactionary, illiberal, violent dictates of Islam, particularly when those same Muslims cite Islam as the justification for their actions. Islam is not an identity. It is a belief system that anyone can choose, or reject. Unless, of course, you are surrounded by Muslims who will cut your head off if you leave the religion because Islam tells them to do just that.[/quote]

No, you fail to understand the difference between Islam and Muslims. ISIS has no interest in islamic doctrines, their fight is a political one, so was Al Qaida's and many others. Whey they beheaded Foley, they didn't say "convert to Islam or we will kill you". There was no religious undertone, or overtone, to the slaughter. ISIS has also beheaded Muslim journalists, and killed other Muslims who in one way or another disagreed with their ideology. I was profoundly touched by Mike Haines, whose brother was beheaded by ISIS who chose to read front he Quran to tell the world that Islam had nothing to do with it :

‘The Muslim faith is not to blame’: Mike Haines reads from Koran to tell the world that his brother David was butchered by ISIS because of extremism, not Islam

As a Muslim, I am appalled, livid whenever I hear about ISIS or read about them. I can not even begin to comprehend their beliefs let alone their actions. Lots of respected Muslim sheikhs came out and denounced them . Sheikh Abu Basir al-Tartus “The group known as ISIS are from the fanatical Khaw?rij, rather they have surpassed the Khaw?rij in many of their characteristics and actions, combining between fanaticism, aggression, hostility and shedding inviolable blood.” He further said: “We call upon all sincere individuals who have been fooled by them while still with this misguided group to severe their ties with it and to declare their freedom from it and its actions.”. But regardless of how loud they reject ISIS's actions, it seems like people like you always want to point the finger back and say "it's the religion that needs to be blamed".[/quote]
