All Muslims are terrorists and to blame said no-one ever.  Seriously have you actually ever heard anyone say this?  When people come out with what you just said I am not entirely sure who they are making their 'point' to? Themselves? 
 
I have heard "Islam is to blame" which it undeniably is.

The idea that "muslims need to (/ need to do more to) condemn Islamic terrorism" seems to be quite common, tbf.

Well it is quite worrying when approximately a third of all worldwide Muslims support Jihad.  
 
There are many studies from UK Muslims that highlight huge areas for serious concern with their belief system.  Here is one but there are many many more online
 
http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/...ally-think.
 
From a personal point of view I don't expect good Muslims to come out and even mention terror attacks, why would they?  I just want to stop being fed this insulting pish from all walks of like (media, politicians etc) that this barbaric, medieval horrendous belief system and the actions carried out in the name of this utterly repugnant religion all over the world is in anyway shape or form that of anything resembling peace.

I have neither the time nor the energy for this discussion.

Yes, I've heard people say that all Muslims are to blame. I've also seen numerous implications of collective guilt expressed less explicitly.

Islam isn't 'undeniably' to blame. In fact, this UN report released last month found that European jihadists have little knowledge of Islamic doctrine and that economic and geopolitical factors are more relevant:

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&source...H9IAaLg2ug

Recruiters use distorted religious references to pick up on alienation and anger which is present for other reasons. That's not to say that you can't find justifications in religious texts: you can. It's easier to do with Muslims because of the geopolitical situation in the Muslim world and racism in the West. Islam shouldn't be excluded from the discussion of what lies behind terrorism, but Islam is far from the main factor. People who simplistically say 'Islam is to blame' are part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Anyway, that's my last post for a while - sitting arguing on the internet at a family gathering. Wiggo

These people, at least in many cases, have been petitioning government for some time to no effect. And the idea that every problem can be solved with 'conversation and consensus' is just objectively false.
That confederate soldiers were conscripted strikes me as irrelevant for two reasons:

1) We're talking about statues of their generals.
2) I don't think that confederate sympathisers will win this argument by appealing to the forced labour of their ancestors.

The statue that was torn down was not of any general. It was for 'the boys that wore the gray' and the statue in just of a common soldier. It wasn't the Lee statue - that's still standing as far as I am aware.

There were people there who were just against the statue being taken down. Is this really so difficult to understand ? But hey - they were standing near the baddies so fuck em all - game on.

The lack of logic and common sense on this subject by so many people is mind boggling.
