25 years ago, ‘radical’ Muslims flew two planes into two skyscrapers, killing 3,000 people. ‘Moderate’ Muslims knew that this made their religion look bad, so instead of condemning the attack, they immediately started promoting a conspiracy that it was a false flag operation or that Israel was behind it, and that Muslims were the real victims.
20 years ago, ‘radical’ Muslims ethnically cleansed 2 million Christians from Iraq and destroyed an ancient Christian community. ‘Moderate’ Muslims knew this made their religion look bad, so they spread a conspiracy that al-Qaeda worked for America and Israel, and that millions of Muslims were killed.
10 years ago, ‘radical’ Muslims committed genocide against 500,000 Yazidis and the most unspeakable atrocities. ‘Moderate’ Muslims knew this made their religion look bad, so they pushed a conspiracy that ISIS works for Israel, and that more Muslims were killed by ISIS than non-Muslims.
As long as ‘moderate’ Muslims refuse to take accountability and condemn Islamic terrorism by name instead of blaming others for what their fellow Muslims do and victimizing themselves, ‘moderate’ and ‘radical’ Islam will remain two sides of the same coin.
