This is what happens to the community that is indecisive and lacks any kind of leadership to tackle issues that are of great importance.
This is what happens when we fail to raise the discourse in our community and fail at politics and optics.
There is a reason why the people who hate Muslims are the ones who gleefully wait after every terrorist attack for a Muslim sounding organization to claim the attack. But apparently, when someone points out that we as a community are failing at the optics of it, there is a horde of us trying to argue our way out it.
So what if we have condemned it enough? So what if we have screamed long enough from the top of our lungs that we condemn every extremist attack done in the name of Islam? So what if people who hate Muslims argue in bad faith? So what it's unfair to be asked to be held responsible for the acts of the few who share nothing with us except our faith?
It's politics and it impacts our lives! and when you fail at politics as we clearly have, you strive to get better at it.
We need to discuss ideas about how we can get better at it and not just engage in pointless arguments that do nothing at all.
We are being played on a global scale. There are alliances forming between groups who have nothing in common except our hatred of us and yet we insist on insisting that we are doing enough!!
