Last week, Iyad El-Baghdadi, a human rights activist born in the United Arab Emirates, tweeted out portions of a call-to-action to Muslims worldwide by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, leader of the Islamic State. He asked people to "rise up" and join the extremist group in their fight.
Muslims on Twitter found the request hilarious, and took the opportunity to have a little fun.
In an American political sphere that occasionally posits Muslims â not some Muslims, not a very, very small number of extremists â as uniform threats to national security, Twitter's collective response to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's request speaks to just how ridiculous those concerns are.

The flaw in your argument.
75% of Muslims are peace loving people.
How did this come about? Islam has been at war with the world for 1400 years and NOW THEY ARE PEACE LOVING? Give me break!
As soon as someone can tell me how to tell a peace loving Muslim maybe I’ll listen.
Let’s not get on our high horse and paint, with a broad brush, all members of a peaceful religion just because of the violent actions of a few...hundred...million.
Not a flaw, an arbitrary number, could be 10% or 90%, doesn’t matter. the principle remains the same. Unless the Muslim world absolutely rejects and ends the practice of terrorism in their ranks any claims of discrimination are without merit.
Either you believe the Koran as it is written and you believe in terrorism as a means of creating a worldwide caliphate.
OR
You do not believe in the Koran as it is written (moderate Islam?), and you are an apostate. You are then subject to terror and death.
I was being very low.
