No it isn't black and white and there is alot of nuance, BUT we come back to the central thought...evil happens when good men do nothing. Either they get going to solve THEIR problem, or they aren't going to get a get out of jail free card. This isn't a matter of a couple isolated incidents. This is a way of life and a culture that has come out of hatred and control. Yes, the Holy Wars were of the same horror same but that doesn't make it right and, in fact, they are condemned in history as a very black time. Sucked the life out of being a God loving Christian. Mainstream muslims need to decide where they stand and they need to stand up and do something besides talk about being falsely judged. My opinion.

It does look like some are trying to tone down the excesses of the Arab Spring movement from within their own countries.
