The 1.6 billion Muslims in this world across the six inhabited continents and across many countries and cultures. They have a great many different styles, elements, commitments, temperaments, customs and convictions concerning their faith. I have no doubt that Islam as a system conforms to St. John's description of the antichrist --- and St. John said there were, and would be, many antichrists. But that does not mean that most Muslims have forfeited their human dignity or their entire claim on human fellow-feeling because of these Muslim homicidalists who are a terror, day in and day out, to other Muslims.
God bless Mo Sabri.
God bless the Muslim Kurds, who took up arms to defend the Yazhidis and the Coptic and Assyrian Christians, when the U.S. and the Iraqi governments would not!
God bless Abdel Fattah el-Sisi who, as Jonah Goldberg notes, is being ignored in the West while making the epochal speech to the most eminent religious scholars of the Middle East,calling for a radical rejection of jihadist ideology.
God bless the Muslim chaplain at Georgetown, Imam Yahya Hendi, who defended the Cross at Georgetown when the damn Jesuits wanted to remove them from the classrooms!
We are tempted to say they are not human. This would be very, very wrong. It's late. Good night now, and God bless you, sitetest.
“The substantial majority of people killed by the jihadists are Muslims who did not support them. Gee, how did that happen?”
Tolkien reminds us that orcs will turn on each other if there aren't other victims to be had. That doesn't mean that we should indulge in empathy for the poor orc victims. It does suggest that to the degree possible, when we see the moslems killing each other, we should stay out of the way.
“They have a great many different styles, elements, commitments,...”
blah blah blah
And the overwhelming number of these (99% of Afghans, to cite one country), as demonstrated in a post just a few up from your post, desire that we should all live under sharia, which mandates death to infidels, oppression to Jews and Christians (at least until we're given the option to convert or die), rape of women, looting, pillaging, plundering, and enslavement of captives.
That vast majority of islamics shares the blood guilt of those actually performing the crimes that cry out to Heaven for vengeance.
Regarding the exceptions that you cite, I've already acknowledged that it's a bitch for that mainstream, moderate 5% whose reputations are sullied by the extremist, far-out, radical fringe 95%.
Nonetheless, even these innocent moslems have no right to be angry when the oppressed peoples of the world condemn and vituperate islam, insult it, profane it. Islam, being an objectively evil system, deserves every bit of what it gets.
As I've stated before, if adherents of islam were generally a bit more... “polite” about their disagreements with us, it would do well to show a little courtesy when offering our critique. But nearly all mohammedans heartily approve of the murder, rape, pillage, plunder, and enslaving done in their name, and thus, have no right to be angry when their fake prophet and the other aspects of their false religion are mocked and insulted.
As a group, they have it coming.
“We are tempted to say they are not human.”
What's this “we” business, kemosabe? I've never said their not human. No, in fact, that is the horror of it! They ARE human. They have the moral agency that comes with being human, and this is overwhelmingly how they choose to exercise their human moral agency! If they were merely dumb animals, they would be guiltless. They'd be merely cockcroaches. Step on ‘em, but have some pity while you squash their guts.
But they're NOT just cockroaches! They're human beings who can choose good or evil, and they choose satanic worship by their deeds and the support for the deeds of their fellow moslems! They are WORSE than cockroaches. They are moral horrors, atrocities of evil, precisely because they are human and use their free will to regularly commit crimes that cry out to Heaven for vengeance, including and especially willful mass and serial mass murder!

Especially this:
“Laughter is the weapon of the weak against the strong.”
This is why no islamic on the earth or under the earth (there aren’t any moslems in Heaven) has no right to anger over having its damned, ugly, satanic religion and its false prophet mocked.
