Muslims, either individually or collectively, are not responsible for what happened and should not have to apologize for being Muslim[b] nor should they be or feel forced to distance themselves from the attacks.[/b] Is it just me, or is this statement inconsistent?[/quote]

Muslima--could you respond to the bolded?

Not Muslima, but it means Muslims shouldn't have to feel the need to say "I'm not like that, I don't believe that, Islam doesn't mean that," etc. every time there is an attack committed by Muslims.   The vast majority of Muslims have nothing to do with these things and shouldn't feel the need  to have to explain it.  [/quote]

True.  The Highest Leaders of the Muslim faith need to make Public statements and engage these factions with a public battle of words and strict denunciation.  Clearly undermining and verbally blowing up the extremists propaganda.   If they don't, they are complicit.[/quote]

They do make public statements. All the time.

And even if they didn't, they are not complicit. Have Christian leaders denounced that whack job in Texas who shot up Austin? Have white American leaders denounced the white supremacists who killed police in Las Vegas last year? Or the white supremacist who killed a black guy with a hatchet in Arizona recently? Almost decapitated the guy.  Or the one who killed a black guy in Washington State before Christmas?  If not, are they complicit in this violence too? [/quote]

White supremacists have not declared "Jihad" on western civilization and are miniscule in comparison to the size / scope/ organization and mass volume of violence .  The radical Muslim threat is so large that millions innocent Muslims could easily be killed in collateral damage if these factions succeed in their goals.  You would think self-preservation alone would dictate constant and definantive counter propaganda by the highest Muslim leaders.[/quote]
