This guy is in TOTAL denial. Muslims need to be taking responsibility for Islamic terrorism -- not dodging it. There are too many Muslim sypathizers with terrorism for this guy to say that terrorism has NOTHING to do with Islam.
Maybe once they step up to the plate and acknowledge the size of the violent Muslim "lunatic fringe" -- if that's what it is -- then they can do something constructive by encouraging their fellow Muslims to condemn this behavior in no uncertain terms.
It is not non-Muslims who need to have their consciousness raised about Islam. These so-called Muslim leaders ought to spend less time telling westerners to reject the evidence of their own lying eyes, and more time trying to whip up angry Muslim hostility against the purveyors of Muslim terror.
ISLAM IS THE ENEMY.
No. He's just practicing "spin". His objective is to deflect US public disapproval regarding Islam and Muslims. The truth or falsity of his statements is irrelevant to him.
