I'm still wondering how ordinary, law-abiding Muslims are expected to go about 'weeding out' the extreme elements in their own communities, as one poster suggested, if the best they can do within the laws of their land is to lead by example, or seek to change those laws. Muslims are not an 'organisation', like the police, the clergy or the Government, who can and should be held legally and morally responsible for weeding out their own rotten apples.
It has been mentioned that we are not personally responsible for the sins of our ancestors. But do white males, for example, consider themselves responsible for 'weeding out' white male political extremists, religious fanatics, potential terrorists and sexual predators from within their communities or the wider population? If they pose a threat to public safety, it's a matter for the police or the armed forces. If they stand for parliament, it's the ballot box. Short of lacing their tea with weed killer, I'm not sure what the average white band is currently doing to pick up their own pieces [see what I did there? I'm here all week]. Judging by this thread, all the stiff lectures on what everyone else needs to stop doing are not working.
Love,
Caz
