However, they are in the business of condemning any and every attempt to accurately portray the actions and motivations of people who carry out unspeakable violence in the name of their religion.
Jihadists? Can't condemn
Hollywood producers, columnists, Ashcroft (who has foiled countless sleeper cells)? Condemnation galore.
You're missing one important point. Let's even suppose they did condemn these things. What would it all mean? Arafat "condemned" all violence against civilians in the Middle East, and yet he was behind much of that violence. Condemning means very little, except to give the MSM reason to write that these perveyors of evil aren't so bad, after all.
What we want to see is American-Muslim groups actively do something, like halting the collecting of funds for violent purposes or reporting their fellow collaborators to the US authorities. Then I'll become convinced that their "condemnations" have any meaning behind them.
