Bangladesh hostages tortured based on whether or not they could recite the Quran

[romanic]

60. Agreed 100%

IMO I feel like the reasons most here on DU refrain from saying anything about Islamic terrorism or radical Islam is because:

1. Right-wingers use the terms "radical Islam" to describe these terrorist attacks, thus not wanting to parrot right-wingers.
2. Some feel like calling out these attacks as Islamic-based is Islamophobic and racist to the billions of Muslims in the world.
3. They're afraid to call out the various wrongs in Islamic theocracies and societies, lest they be deemed as Islamophobic and racist.
4. They don't want to call out Islamic fundamentalism or terrorism because it doesn't involve their go-to blames such as Christianity, Western colonialism, White Privilege, the Patriarchy or Gun Control.

That's pretty much what I can gather based on how hush-hush the responses are in regards to these attacks in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey, etc.
