Muslims who do not engage, condone, or support extremism, violence,
or aggression should stop publicly condemning, being apologetic, emphasizing
that terrorism is not Islam and that they do not condone or agree with such
actions, etc, etc. You are guilty of nothing. Your faith is guilty of nothing.
We are demonized and criticized enough. I, for one, will not act like an
apologist and "defend" my faith. I will not cater to the ignorant.
Let the media pick away at us all they wish. Let the ignorant and simple-minded
be willfully blind and prejudice. All that I will say is, "I am
Muslim." Nothing more, nothing less. Let the ignorant curse, slander,
insult, and ostracize. I will not explain anything, apologize for anything, or
elaborate on anything. All I will say is, "Yes, I am Muslim. And I am
going to keep being Muslim."
