When we are supposed to all be quick to say "they dont represent Islam", it seems that we are to forget that most Muslim nations have laws against converting to another religion. They have laws against just BEING gay. They have laws that reduce women to 3rd class citizens. They have laws that punish women for the acts of men. They refuse to accept the right of Israel to exist and endorse the removal of Israel. And the fact that anyone who DOES decide to speak out against what is endorsed as law is harshly dealt with BY THE STATE. And this is just the short list. Its state-sponsored laws that makes this different. And
When someone brings up Tim McVeigh or someone who bombs an abortion clinic, they're forgetting that the US does not sanction any of these actions with their laws.
