No Apologies for Terror

Austrolabe has an interesting post on the repeated demand that Muslims denounce terrorism and the contradiction which results from these sort of demands.

The repeated calls for Muslims to condemn terrorism is at best, ignorance and at worst, disingenuous malice.

I do not apologize for acts committed by others because I did not participate in those acts. The fact that we may share a faith, race, gender, or citizenship does not make me more culpable than others.
