re: #115 Killgore Trout

The reason I downdinged it is that I don’t believe Muslims in one part of the world (again, over a billion and a half of them) are responsible or compelled to ask tough questions about muslims in a completely different part of the world. Lebanon is different from Indonesia is different from Palestine is different from Iran is different from the Phillipines.

Locally, sure. If you attend a militant mosque, you’re part of the problem. But there seems to be a vibe that all muslims are responsible for all muslims, no matter the circumstances. That seems to be to be a wildly unfair burden for the average moderate muslim, and invites discrimination and promotes paranoid tribalism.
