To answer your first question about muslims denouncing muslim extremists. Alot of people do. But thanks to years of supporting regimes that support muslim extremist groups by the american government. Almost all the sources of media are owned by them. You have to admit, everytime when democracy tried to start in those countries, the american government tried to pop up those regimes. Its because america's business interests overuled its ideology. And those extremists groups are supported by billionaire shieks and their cronies now. They control all of the resourses, media, and education. Those group of people owned the media there. The people that want change, have no voice. Look at saudi arabia, if a democratic group of people decided to overthrow the government, do you think the american government would support that group? I dont think so, money trumps ideology.
And 2nd why I lump in those marines as representing the entire american military. you know from the news that almost everybody in the camp knew about the masscre. In fact NCIS had to take away truck loads of cameras, computers, and digital recording devices b/c of all the pictures and IM messages about it. But nobody spoke up. Nobody wanted to break the soldiers cold. You dont rat out brothers. As horrible the crime, the soldiers wont rat them out. So tell me, if I person knows a crime has been committed, that person is as guilty. Also there was a high level coverup by the cammand structure. Only when they were caught, that they revealed the truth. So tell me if this institutional coverup, and fraternal coverup of a war crime doesnt indict that entire military.

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
No, I have not said Muslim extremist represent all Muslims, quite the contrary. I argue that they are not representative of Islam or Muslims as a whole.
What I am seeing from you though, is an illogical position, where you are holding the masses accountable for the actions of a few, in exact same way that Muslim haters hold all Muslims accountable for the actions of a small percentage.
In addition, it is a sad fact, in my opinion, that the good Muslims do not stand up and denounce the Muslim extremists.
You would go a long way to making your point if you took the time to denounce Islamic fascism, as well as pointing out the dangers of extremist thinkers in the western world.
