Don’t Wanna Hear It
Thou dost protest too much
"Muslims are part of the fabric of this great country and are working to build a better America."
That very well may be, and I truly understand the difficulty one might have who is completely innocent (physically and spiritually), yet painted with a wide brush.
On the other hand, it’s just not a complaint I’m all that sympathetic to, and truth be told, I’m just not that interested in hearing about it.
Muslims in general could do one hell of a lot more to alleviate my own suspicions that many of them, though physically peaceful, morally support the actions of the terrorists. To the extent they do, they are every bit the enemy that those carrying out physical attacks are.
And yes, they have a moral duty to affirmatively condemn Islamic terrorism.
