The stabber is a loser and his actions should be denounced by the Muslim community. That guy who got stabbed isn’t responsible for the actions of politicians in a different country.
Every culture has bad actors and good actors. People should remember what it’s like to be held responsible or accountable for the actions of someone else. All cultures have done this to each other at some point.
Blaming random civilians for the big things which someone thinks are wrong in the world is an inherently wrong and dangerous thing to do. The police should also investigate if this stabber might not have other motives, like did someone incite this person to start a conflict in this community?
It is not the job of any minority community to denounce members of that community when they do heinous things. If a black man stabs a white man because he hates white people, no one would be calling on the black community specifically to denounce him (except maybe Republicans).
He committed murder. There's no need to make some public denouncement. He's on video attempting to commit the murder. He's been arrested for attempted murder. He's clearly a guy who planned to commit a murder. He can say it was for Palestine, but that doesn't make Palestinians responsible and it certainly wouldn't make, for example, a Muslim from Indonesia responsible.
Sorry I meant the local Muslim community, not anyone at large. Muslims are not a monolith.
But that’s my point though, I don’t think it’s a good idea for a random Muslim to blame a random Jewish person for what politicians are doing. If anything, our shared and collective helplessness against larger and out of control forces should unite us.
Aren't these 2 sentences mutually contradictory? If your argument is that people aren't responsible for the actions of others of the same ethnicity, then logically the Muslim community has no obligation to say anything as they're not responsible.
I should have clarified, I didn’t mean Muslims at large. The ordinary Muslim shouldn’t be expected to respond to such events. People who call themselves religious community leaders, however, can make such general statements, as they have done so in the past. In common parlance, it’s assumed that that’s what meant by “Muslim community”, ie someone who is a leader of a mosque or community group, but I agree I assumed too much about the common understanding of such a term
