In general I would argue in those cases as well that the average Man can do nothing on rape culture outside of his small social circle and the same with the average white person on dealing with racism

So the best we can hope for from these people is to not be fanatics and call out fanaticism when they see it. And it sounds like the Muslim community is one of the primary sources of information for people who are becoming radicalized. So saying moderate Muslims should ban the bhurka is a ridiculous statement. Sayin a moderate Muslim should support the people around them who choose not to is reasonable.

Just being not an extremist should be enough.
