The problem I have is the moderate community, while speaking out, still is quite on other issues that they should speak out on. Honestly answer for me, what would happen to you if you lived in Saudi or Iran and you were gay? Where is the vocal outrage for this? Women are eviscerated in these cultures and there is not a word spoken about it. The response to the Danish cartoons was embassies burning. This wasn't done by Isis, but by less radical Islamic communities who were pissed at being offended. When journalist are beheaded, it is condemned by the mainstream community, but nobody comes out and says there is absolutely no justification for it in any Islamic text, Qu'ran or Hadith.
My problem is a disproportionate amount of effort is spent condemning those doing the offending as opposed to those taking retribution. I furthermore think that while the primary obligation to speak out falls on the Muslim community, the progressive PC crowd on the left needs needs to stop providing cover and speak out honestly. There is a problem with Islam itself, and we need to be honest about it. As an atheist, I can burn a Bible on national television and not worry about my life from radical Christians. Can I honestly say the same about a Qu'ran and radical Muslims? There is a special problem with Islam, and it should be clear to everybody.
To see what I'm really talking about, listen to what Maajid Nawaz has to say about this. He is one of the very few moderates that is talking bout this in a very open and honest manner. In return, he has been called a talking monkey and other deplorable things from other moderates and those on the left for simply acknowledging the problem.
