Maybe you could provide examples from your own public record of condemnations and disassociations of the kind that could serve as a model for every single Muslim worldwide.

Steve, and you never will. In my opinion a huge part of the problem is that people tend to analyze Islam from a western stand point, with a mindset of someone whose set of values and experiences was built in the western world.

I have some first hand experience with different cultures since my wife's parents (both were born in China and moved to Taiwan to run away from communism) and I confess that sometimes I am dealing with aliens, because their mindset is very different, complex and hard to understand. My father in law only speaks chinese, even after so many decades living in Brazil.

On the topic of Muslim mindset, yesterday someone sent me a video on Facebook showing an execution, an individual was beheaded on the street. Things like that are common place for most of the Muslim population in the world who don't like in big cities, and even those, if we are include Saudi Arabia.

So, if we agree that their mindset is essentially different, and we include their belief in conquest, as describe in their sacred book, they move to western countries, don't fully integrate into the culture and when they reach critical mass, they start to impose their way of life.

Lebanon is the best example of what are now beginning to see in France, Belgium and even UK.

And apparently, even Muslims look like Westerners to terrorists. Just the other day terrorists killed three Indonesian policemen in Jakarta. And last year they took hostage and murdered people in a restaurant in Bangladesh (but first letting go anyone go who could recite the Quran to their satisfaction). What did Indonesians and Bangladeshis ever do against Muslims and Arabs? 

Western aggression covers only part of the motivation for Al Queda, ISIS and other jihadis. These guys are motivated by a fanatic belief in their religion, which prescribes violence against unbelievers. All the hugs and kisses, prayer circles and chest-beating that the West can muster will not change their views, or prevent the violence they are yet to commit. 

I imagine the overwhelming majority of Muslims are frankly terrified by ISIS.

==============

Bluntly put, the message of all religions is "do it my way or suffer". If a religion teaches about an afterlife, the consequence is usually Hell. Islam is a little different; it's a punitive religion. Not only are unbelievers due for punishment in "the hellfire" but they are subject to penalties by Muslim authorities while still on Earth. 

So it doesn't matter if you're of a faith other than Islam, or if you're an outright atheist. Violating Islamic law subjects you to punishment, which is what happened to victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacre. Most Muslims condemned that attack, but some of them disagreed with it only because they did not view the attackers as having the proper religious credentials to carry out that "verdict". 

Reform must be pushed. I saw some news about how things are going all wrong in Sweden, Italy and many other countries in which certain areas are basically "no go zones".

I was in Belgium early this year and I was told that certain areas are controlled and you can be beaten just for being white if you dare enter these areas. Stopping this would be an step in the right direction.

And yet in another post you said you couldn't always believe media reports. It seems you pick and choose what you want to believe based on your own philosophy.
