Can We Stop Saying "Pam Geller Has Free Speech?"

107. So instead of blaming Germans for WWII

we narrow it down to the guilty parties and blame the Nazis.

Being German is a matter of birth, and being a Nazi is a matter of choice. That's the distinction.

It is not racist to criticize Nazis. "Nazi" is not a race, it's a belief system. Same with "Muslim". It's not a race, it's a voluntary belief system. So the word "racist" does not apply. The word "bigot", however, does apply.

As for "the acts of the few", the "many" become irrelevant if they don't stand against the few.

The majority of Germans who didn't want WWII are irrelevant, because the the radical minority exercised their will and the "silent majority" did not.

And, in fact, we really don't know if the majority of Germans did not want WWII because the majority of Germans said nothing about what they wanted. Their silence could even be interpreted as tacit approval.

And since we don't seem to be hearing outrage from the "vast majority of peace-loving Muslims", the fact that it is a "vast majority" is, itself in question, since we are not hearing from them in "vast" numbers. We are hearing a single isolated voice here and there. The very fact that the majority of Muslims seem to be silent on the matter leaves it open as a possibility that they do not, in fact, object to what the terrorists are doing. We really won't know until they speak up, en mass. (I've read somewhere that something like 15% to 20% of Muslims worldwide support the radicals. There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world, that means that a mere 20% is 320 million Muslims who support the terrorists. That means that given a U.S. population of 318 million, there are more Muslims in the world that support the terrorists than there are PEOPLE in the United States.

Let me hear, en mass, from the Muslim community that they do not condone the terrorist acts and then I will begin to believe that they do not condone them. But the deafening silence I hear from the vast majority of Muslims seems to me to leave their desires open for speculation.

And in case I have to say it again, this is NOT racism, because the choice to be a Muslim radical is not a race.
