text: We're used to being told there are problems with systemic racism and sexism in our society. What Couillard was saying, and what a great many people think, is that there are systemic problems with intolerance in Islam.  The evidence for that is very clear: witness the attitude towards other religions in Islamic countries--the very term "Islamic country" pretty much says it all. So no one is saying that most Muslims are supporters of terrorism, or that they condone terrorism. No one is saying there are more bad Muslims than bad Christians or Jews. What is being suggested is that Muslim community leaders and religious officials in Canada and elsewhere look at what passes for legitimate discourse in their circles—including what they teach youngsters in their schools and what is preached in their mosques—and take responsibility for purging it of whatever bigotry they find.
