There is no confirmation yet that this is a terrorist act.
What else do they need? There are already flags being held.

Not all Muslims are a waste of flesh, but I have to say, at times, hearing/reading/knowing about this sort of thing makes it hard not to get angry at the whole population.

It's a shame that it's not easier to root out the bad from the good whether it be fanatical, malicious religious types (any flavor), whites, blacks, cops, lawyers, people in general. Unfortunately, it's often hard to know who's a real danger until after or while they are the danger.

Thinking that it would be good to have an anti-muslim (or anti-whatever) sentiment would be like thinking "look at that guy, he was a criminal and did a bad thing. It's too bad that there wasn't a general malicious feeling towards anyone and everyone in his family".

Sadly, and I know it's telling on my part, but I don't give a crap. If you are a muslim I have no time for you or your religion. The thing is where are all the naysayers of this type of thing in the Muslim community. You'd think they'd be all over the place yelling it from the treetops but it's just not the case. They'll all come out the woodwork here now and denounce it because they'll be ****ting their pants about reprisals.

I get it. In some cases, it's very easy to go to that place.

I have a couple of friends who are Muslims, not the born in the states kind, but the from the middle east kind and some of the kindest people you would ever want to meet. I find it hard to condemn an entire religious group because of the extremists

Just went through this in Canada, our thoughts and prayers are with the hostages and their families, praying for guidance for the law enforcement people....

My thought is always - where's the outcry? If terrorists were regularly killing innocent people in the name of my religion, and every member of my religion was not condemning their actions - I would no longer be affiliated with said religion.

It wont end well. It never does with these extremists. I'm not surprised considering recent events.

Praying for the Hostages.

If they don't condemn it, then they condone it.

What is it? If they can answer that statement I would talk with them.

What if your country was waging war against innocent people, torturing and kidnapping innocents, and droning innocents - would you speak out and condemn it?

The Muslims I know (and I don't know many) are afraid to speak out. Generally they keep to themselves and don't engage in any political commentary.

But I do see you point.
