Not all Muslims are terrorist extremists; Kathleen Miller; Beaver County Times; June 14, 2016.

Below is a detailed critique of the subject letter.

“Sunday, a terrorist murdered 49 innocent people. Again, a murderer has cast a very negative shadow on a noble religion, especially during the holy month of Ramadan.”

[RWC] I’m sure it was an honest oversight, but Ms. Miller failed to mention the name (Omar Mir Seddique Mateen) and religion (Islam) of the “terrorist” and “murderer.”

“By the end of the century, the number of Muslims will outnumber the number of Christians. Islam and Muslims have been greatly maligned by American television. Fanatical extremists’ murderous acts overshadow the true meaning of one of the three great book religions.”

[RWC] Ms. Miller claims “Islam and Muslims have been greatly maligned by American television” but provided no examples.

“I think it is time we understand Islam and reject the idea that all terrorists are Muslims. We can begin by a dialogue with true Muslims who advocate peace and believe that God has sent peace and tranquility to men to exercise restraint.”

[RWC] This is what we’re told after every killing of infidels by a follower of the “noble religion” of Islam, “one of the three great book religions.”

I’m tired of this “let’s all rise above bigotry and hatred” crap as if non-Muslim Americans are the bad guys and we’re persecuting Muslims.

As I wrote in another review, “I accept ‘lunatics like Omar Mateen do not represent the majority of Muslims who are loyal and peaceful citizens of America,’ for now. That said, if it’s not already happening, we need to see evidence of ‘Muslims who are loyal and peaceful citizens of America’ doing something to stop future Omar Mir Seddique Mateens. Simply making post-massacre statements offering condolences and asserting the Omar Mateens of the world ‘do not represent the majority of Muslims who are loyal and peaceful citizens of America’ won’t cut it.”
