"(not yours by the way) "

That's correct... MY community does not attempt to blame innocent members of any race, creed or nationality for the actions of others of the same race, creed or nationality.

I actually take some pride in NOT being a member of YOUR community.

That doesn't surprise me one jot. I am an American, that is my "community", not some ethnic slice of a town or city. Maybe someday other communities will understand that this is the essence of being an American.

Any community has a responsibilty to distance itself from felons and the lovers of violence, from the frauds and trappers of men. Any community has a duty to a appropriate level of remorse for malevolent actions committed by its members -- especially when those members act in the cloak of the community or its ethos. And beyond any doubt -- when those evil actions are fostered and encouraged by the community's teachings and habits -- the normative or variants thereof.

Every decent community -- nation, club, congregation, town, district, religion -- does so.

When you or anyone else puts themselves beyond that duty -- it is Justice, Din, itself -- they by that act alone act allow evil dominance in themselves and become a threat to the rest of us.

You and yours have not so admitted remorse, nor sought to correct -- of your own. You stand by and watch blood be shed, and speak not.

When my brother turns I go and seek to turn him back.

You have no brothers. You, RS -- you and any like you are worse than dogs -- dogs at least have brothers of the litter.
