So when an African American shoots up a place, would you go around screaming about all the good African Americans?
See how sort of wrong and insulting that implication is? There is demonstrably a double standard.
I would if after the shooting everyone was trying to say that all black people are violent criminals that need to be put down.
Did you ever thing that the peaceful Muslims that are being killed are simply fodder, an acceptable cost long term? By their own?
And you are harping about division?

I really am wondering about muslims, when I read on news sites ordinary muslims congratulating the Paris terrorists on a job well done, burning Christians in brick kilns, burning churches, killing Christians by the hundreds, am I reading the wrong news sites? 'They' even kill, torture and imprison each other, Gaza as an example (rantburg and atlas shrugs among others) is you want sources, those are direct into my inbox.

Easy thinking? So, tell me, how did those countries come into being? One needs to go back a bit further than 40 years
Quoting from Margaret MacMillan's historical book 'Paris 1919, Six Months that Changed the World, Chapter 27, Arab Independence, page 381:
One day, during the Peace Conference, Arnold Toynbee, an advisor to the British delegation, had to deliver some papers to the prime minister. "Lloyd George, to my delight, had forgotten my presence and had begun to think aloud.'Mesopotamia... yes... oil... irrigation... we must have Mesopotamia; Palestine... yes... the Holy Land... Zionism... we must have Palestine; Syria... h'm... what is there in Syria? Let the French have that.' Thus the lineaments of the peace settlement in the Middle East were exposed: Britain seizing its chance; the need to throw something to the French; a homeland for the Jews; oil; and the calm assurance that the peacemakers could dispose of the former Ottoman territories to suit themselves.

No I didn't and that is a pretty ignorant thing to say , I suggest you educate yourself on the subject .
Peaceful Muslims are being killed for the same reason peaceful westerners are being killed , because they don't agree with the Islamists ideology or particular brand of Islam.
Sectarian murders are nothing new nor are they exclusive to Islam , we in the UK lived with it for decades.
And you are harping about division?
One reply is hardly harping.

What makes you believe that they are "ordinary muslims"? The ordinary muslims I know and work for haven't celebrated any of these attacks. In fact the conversations I have had with my Muslim boss and coworkers was very negative towards the terrorists.

I do understand these things. That is why I don't buy into media hype and sensationalism.
