Depends how you frame it. This school of thought (and the puerile categorisation of Tobes as a racist for having the temerity to link ISIS and Islam) is the same hysterical defence of the Asian taxi drivers around the country abusing teenage girls. No one says
they did that, or ISIS did what they did, or indeed Catholic priests did what they did, BECAUSE of their religion, per se. But surely we have the right, just as we did when that far-right nut was blowing up gay bars, or when the Bader-Meinhof were blowing up trains, to critique the association of a criminal's beliefs and their actions?
I have two family members who work in the NHS. Both assure me the whole edifice would fall to ****ing bits overnight without Muslim doctors. Indeed, my sister was successfully treated for breast cancer at the Linda McCartney Centre eighteen months ago, by Moslem oncolagists. Moslem professionals are present in Law, engineering, education - well everything, just like Jews, Atheists, Chinese, (some) Woollybacks... A banal point, I know.
But if we are not allowed to link members of a community to that community for fear of offending that community, how are we supposed to make any attempt to understand why it happened? Anyway, if you just close down this discussion you'll just supress it, not answer this. In fact, the discussion will get darker and scapegoats WILL be offered up, so this is all self-defeating.
