It's the mainstream muslim society that is a fertile breeding ground for the extremists.
You asserting something doesn't make it true. If this were true, you'd have come up with something by now showing that the
mainstream Muslims actually support this sort of behavior. But you can't. The rest of this is just smokescreening to avoid acknowledging it.
The imam that got the Kouachi brothers on the path of radicalization was, whiel being shunned from some mainstream imams, was still just able to basically allowed to operate unchallenged.
France has this pesky thing called "freedom of speech." So everyone is "allowed to operate" until they break the law. You haven't shown any evidence that the rest of the community was aware of what was going on with these two; they're likely aware of extremist elements existing, but their simple existence does not reflect on them all, nor assign them these special responsibilities you want to heap on them.
Otherwise, to return to my previous example, poor blacks and latinos are responsible for "allowing" criminal elements in their neighborhoods to operate.
Ask yourself, why don't the catholic extremists who had at least as much cause to be offended by Charlie Hebdo as muslims, never got anywhere near as far as the muslim extremists? It's because the path to radicalization within the Catholic community is much harder than it is in the muslim community: it's much harder to pretend you are a catholic preacher because the organization of the church is more institional, and it's much harder ot try to convince possible recruits to overlook the passages about non-violence. I think that even the Kouachi brothers were initially against violence, but their preacher managed to convince them why it's justified, just by arguing from Koran... that shows that the safeguards against violence are paper thin in Islam.
Ask yourself: why do you have such a difficult time actually staying on topic, rather than scribbling out these rambling paragraphs of unsubstantiated rubbish?
Islam does have quite a singular view on a lot of things.
No, it doesn't, except in the minds of propagandists and ideologues.
Being offended by cartoons of Mohammed is one. It's not that the muslims themselves would probably be offended, but it's that their religion tells them to be: in order to be good muslims, they have to hate the cartoons. It's brainwashing, but it works. And once you instill that hatred into a billion people, it's hardly surprising that some of them will resort to violence, even though the majority might say that they are against it... all you need to trigger it is for some Imam to say the opposite, because the entire community is conditioned to believe whatever nonsense the Imams say the Koran says.
You are making shit up as you go.
For one, the Qur'an says nothing about depictions of Muhammad, so you clearly don't know what you're talking about. But even if it did, that does not make it the "singular view" of Islam. The Bible says gays and apostates should be executed; is that the "singular view" of Christianity? No?
You've shown nothing to suggest that a billion Muslims "hate" anything or anyone. And certainly nothing to support the idea that those who say they are against the violence are liars. You are talking out of your ass.
Your comprehension of how religions, and ideologies in general work, is what is baffling.
Says the guy who pulls generalization after generalization out of his ass about how 1.5 billion people think, without a shred of evidence to back them up.
I've given plenty of examples of how the same mechanism works in other societies and belief systems.
I saw. They were all utter shit that did nothing to support your argument.
Islam is a global ideology. The muslims going on killing spree in Indonesia or Niger of course doesn't mean that the French muslims would do the same, but it does show that it's not Islam that's stopping them.
Nonsensical doublespeak. That Islam is interpreted and applied in vastly different ways across the globe proves definitively that it is not a singular ideology.
I've done it many times. Most recently in the beginning of this post, but let's try it again: the muslim brainwashing makes people susceptible to being manipulated by extremists. Even moderate muslims support the same brainwashing, even though they might superficially denounce outright murder, and that's the issue here... not that the moderate uslims themselves would go on killing sprees or praise the killers when such incidents occur.
Moderate Muslims do not support any form of "brainwashing" that lends itself to the conclusion that murdering cartoonists is OK, and you've produced nothing whatsoever to indicate that they do.
Do tell, how are muslims threatened by "people like me", which I presume refers to people whom you perceive to be vilifying muslims?
Maybe this is a shock to you, but people tend to feel threatened when they are blamed for heinous crimes that they did not commit.
Of course, I am not vilifying muslims as a group. I am vilifying their religion and the lies peddled to them by their religious leaders.
Yeah, why don't you go ahead and make another ridiculous Nazi analogy, and then talk some more about this imaginary shared "ethos" all Muslims have in common?
Are you done frothing in the mouth, and ready to address the actual points being made?
Maybe you should get around to actually making one. So far, it's just been a lot of rambling, long-winded and largely incoherent nonsense that treats your own uninformed opinion, repeated over and over, as a substitute for evidence, which it most certainly is not.
