This thread makes my head hurt.
I hope that you can both see how those with either extreme left or right views are making this problem worse.
Painting all Muslims with the same brush helps no one. It pushes people towards extremism and leads to more wars in the middle east.
Similarly, excusing terrorism because it was perpetrated by Muslims is just as bad. Terrorists are not oppressed people. They're evil people. They're overall highly intelligent and well educated with access to vast resources. Coordinating a terror attack is extremely difficult. It takes military knowledge/training, fluency in multiple languages, the ability to evade law enforcement, access to weapons, adeptness with computers and social media etc..If you can afford to fly to Libya for training, you can afford to put food on your table or take college courses to get a better job.
When someone starts encouraging or making acts towards a terrorist activity they should be arrested. End of story. The law shouldn't even look at what religion they are. And no, it's not the responsibility of "moderate Muslims" to deal with them. They aren't expected to take honor oaths to the country they live in or put their own lives in danger.
