Even the comment ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the room, a minority of Muslims immediatly started playing the “religion card” and complaining how it isn’t a “muslim problem”.

If YOUR children want to BOMB my city and KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE, THAT IS A MUSLIM PROBLEM and now it is EVERYONE elses problem. Pardon us if we don’t cry with compassion over your plight.

Deal with it.

Of course, “dealing with it” is their big problem – how does any community self-censure a small faction that holds a world-view that’s over 1,000 years old? Poorly, so far.

There’s a difference between not blanketing people with offensive assumptions (all terrorists are muslim) and looking at a picture of 17 muslim men and saying there was absolutely nothing that connects them.

Stating the obvious is not offensive. They were all men. Why is that not offensive to men? Should men rise up and bitch about how not all terrorists are men? Or maybe they’re all young. Should all young people be upset because young people were called terrorists?

You could take this to the extreme in any number of directions, but the fact remains. Every single one of them was a young muslim male. To say there’s nothing that connects them is ludicrous and ignoring the obvious.

Not all muslims are terrorists.

All these terrorists were muslims.

No stereotyping, just stating a fact.

I’ve seen the kind of trouble caused by saying something taboo on TV or in a newspaper, and it was probably a good thing that the author of the article avoided saying that the only thing common between the perpetrators is that they are muslim. There are a lot of muslims in Toronto and it would not be wise to apply a stereotype to any of them, or anybody for that matter.
