"We have a Muslim community that rejects the hateful ideology of terrorist jihad...".

Intriguing declaration!

In the past, when abortion clinics got bombed in Canada, I don't recall writers rushing to exclaim: "We have a Christian community that rejects the violent ideology of anti-abortion extremism". Indeed, some pundits seemed to like the idea of smearing Christians in general with a broad brush, seeing them as impediments to progressive legislations.

And when Quebec separatists violently kidnapped politicians, I don't recall writers rushing to exclaim: "We have a separatist community that rejects the violent tactics of these outlier traitor extremists who kidnap innocents". Indeed, some pundits seemed to like the idea of smearing all separatists with a broad brush, seeing that as a useful tactical narrative.

In reality, Christians, Quebec separatists and Muslims are each diverse groups. Curious how DIFFERENT the reasons are, for each group, for NOT recognizing that in print!
