He is not THE leader of Muslims but he is definitely a Muslim leader and an honest one. Can you show that he is not a Muslim leader?

I'm not saying he isn't a leader of something but he does not represent all Muslims which I believe is what you are trying to some how show. I'm the leader of my cursor on my computer, that doesn't mean I control all electronic devices.

The KKK have been condemned, Fred Phelps has been condemned, Anjem Choudary...not so much. He must have more than a few who follow him or do not disagree with him.

So you have to condemn every bad person out there even if you don't know they are there? Fred Phelps and the KKK are very public figures, and are known quite well I would believe. I don't know how well known Anjem Choudary is to the ordinary non-radical Muslim but I have personal NEVER heard of anyone of this name nor his organization.

There are people who would disagree with you of course, but then again you probably don't give a **** what those people think.

At least in our country, we don't have to worry about being beheaded for disagreeing (yet).

But, but, but what about the Muslims who are here right now why aren't they going around beheading everyone. I doubt its a secret to them that a lot of people don't like them? Oh right I remember not all of them are crazy extremists silly me I forgot.

Here's a question that maybe some can answer:
If one leader of a religion advocates violence is that enough to condemn the entire religion?
If you answer don't mention any religion.
