Instead of pointing this out, liberal writers are busy worrying about Islamophobia. They are busy apologizing for Islam. What these, at best misled, humanists need to do is make a distinction between people of Muslim heritage, and people committed to evil extremism. I hope that in two hundred years bombings are associated with Islam to the extent that Christianity is associated with the crusades, and the medieval methods of murder they invoked against anyone not following Jesus. But we are unfortunately living in 2015, and if you think there is currently no association between Islam and terrorism then you must have been in a coma for the last three decades. On the other hand if you think Muslims are the only terrorists, then you may have never opened a book. The state of Israel exists in part due to some of the most horrifying acts of terrorism in history. The terrorism of the Irgun may have not killed many people, but these acts of "Jewish" terrorism were utterly nihilistic in a way even many terrorists today are not. The bombing of the King David hotel killed Muslims, Christians and Jews of many nationalities; but not the bombers, who ran away before the bombs went off. These terrorists were the very definition of anti-heroes, not even caring enough about their cause to personally join those blown to bits of bloody flesh in it's name. HaTsofeh, a local Jewish newspaper of then Palestine, labelled the Irgun bombers "fascists," yet there are those who see them as heroes to this day.
The clearest hero of the recent chain of events in Paris was a young black Muslim man named Lassana Bathily. He saved several people shopping at a Kosher market directly by hiding them from terrorists, and saved more indirectly when even after the police handcuffed him, mistaking him for a terrorist himself, he patiently explained the layout of the place. He was quick enough under gunfire and the threat of imminent death to cut off the power to the freezer, and hide people there. He was mentally clear enough after witnessing the slaughter and literally having to crawl out alive only to be handcuffed by the police, to help save even more people. The fact that this happened in a Kosher supermarket means that almost certainly many of the people he saved were Jews. When interviewed he stated "We are brothers. It's not a question of Jews, of Christians or of Muslims. We're all in the same boat, we have to help each other to get out of this crisis." And in truth, if you look at our foundational myths in all of these religions, we believe all humans are brothers and sisters, as we are all irrespective of religion, descended from Adam. That is why it is so troubling to read liberal writers create endless paragraphs of apologetics for the extremist death cult that seems to have taken over parts of the Muslim world. If we are all equal, then we must all be held to the same standards. But liberals are deeply racist people. They don't want to have peace with Muslims as equals. At most many liberals want to give peace to Muslims as a sign of the magnanimous mentality they imagine themselves to have.
Years ago I realized how utterly racist a lot of leftists are because I became interested in the issue of female genital mutilation for purely practical professional reasons. But even this issue does not fully expose what hypocritical racists a lot of leftists are. Not only do they want to let some people cut up their daughters genitals in the name of multiculturalism; they want them to outright kill them. It is racist and cruel to have different standards for different people because it essentially denies some rights to some portions of the population. For example if I get shot by a family member in Israel, justice will be done. If an Arab woman gets shot by her family in an honor killing ...and before you call me an Islamophobe for bringing up honor killing, I will mention this did actually happen in my old neighborhood in Haifa to an Arab woman who dared go on dates with men.... well, don't hold your breath for justice because of "freedom of religion" and "minority rights" and a bunch of other fake liberal slogans that really mean 'I value your life less than my own.' We are all people, we should all be held to the same standards...anything less is usually just racism disguised as political correctness.
