No, but as an American you should be aware of such abuses, understand why they're unethical, and not support or excuse those who are responsible.
I agree with that 100%.

To an extent, we are responsible for the illegal things the government does because we're too apathetic to actually fix the government and make it work for us.
I do agree with youArabs and Muslims are not responsible for all terrorism "sweeping the world"; only some of them are. I would say that Islamic scholars in the Muslim world are largely responsible. Furthermore, a clear distinction between Arabs and Muslims must be made because not all Arabs are Muslims, and not all Muslims are Arabs. I think it is safe to say that there is little to no support for beheading or 9/11 from Arab Christians and atheists.
The thread title is still a sweeping generalization, though. For example, my Muslim friends are not responsible for terrorism. My family aren't either. They all condemn and reject it. I think the negative generalization in the OP is very mistaken and bordering on hateful, if it is not actually so. I think it is fairer and more accurate to say that the Muslim world is rife with enough extremism and "us vs. them" thinking to give rise to hate groups and terrorist organizations, but there are a lot of moderate people in the Muslim world. I think we shouldn't forget those.
As for the Nazi propaganda in this thread, that is just disgraceful. It points to the trend of grasping for straws and beating around the bush whenever the Muslim world is criticized instead of responding to the criticism itself.
so you more butYeah, it's always everyone else's fault but yourself. Typical. Your mentality is a symptom of what that journalist is pointing out.
i mean by "all" whom kill and whom killed , just killers and victimes ,Certian groups of people have made cliams that there are a disproprotionate number of jews working in Finance. This is somewhat a legacy of the fact that Christians were prohibited from engaging in usery (handling money) in the middle ages and so got the jews to do it for them. its a sterotype that has persisted through the centuries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Nazi_boycott_of_1933
According to the wikipedia article, jewish organisations around the world campigned for a boycott of german goods, particualry in the United States and in the United Kingdom. However, this was in response to the Anti-Semitism of the Nazi Party, who in turn responded by boycotting all jewish shops within Germany. The jewish community were responding to what the Nazis were doing. i.e. The Jews didn't start it, they were trying to defend themselves with the means they had avaliable.
The Majority of germans didn't "slay all jews". This is actually another point where generalising "all germans" or even "all nazis" killed the jews. Only a limited number of people in the Nazi government were aware of and actively participated in the holocaust and it was kept secret from the public. this was because they expected people to fight back if they knew what they were doing. Many germans blamed "jews" simpy because it was convienent and wanted to force them out of the country, but didn't think about wiping them out as a race. The Nazis lied to the german people and to the jews and told them they were being "evacuted" to the East in Poland or Russia, but this was only so they didn't know what was about to happen to them and that they were about to be all killed. some germans resisted the nazis, others helped the jews escape. So again, it is not a case of "all" people doing the same thing.
i mean by "all" whom kill and whom killed , just killers and victimes ,
I don't meant all people.
I can say there was agreement in Germany to slay all Jews , that why there was 5 million Jews killed, and majority of others just neutral ,watching and hearing about the genocide, they did not act against it .
of course everyone had his own responsibility (leaders of both sides Jews and Nazis) .
if some people consider my opinion about rule of Jews in WW2 as propaganda against Jews , why this thread did not consider as propaganda against Muslims (generalizing title) ?
what i mean by mention to NAZI/JEWISH case that generalizing is bad ,since the OP"er" is Jewish
I think it is noteworthy whenever any Muslim acknowledges Muslim responsibility for world-wide terror.
Much as it's noteworthy to note whenever any Israeli acknowledges Israeli responsibility for an increasingly ugly occupation.The executive editor of the Iraqi daily Al-Mada, 'Adnan Hussein, published a harsh article titled "This Is Our Terror, We Are Responsible". He said that the curricula, the media and the mosques in the Muslim world constitute a platform for inculcating a barbaric kind of Islam that condones beheadings and bloodshed, whereas the voice of the other kind of Islam, which preaches peace and compassion, is barely heard.

If you can recognize the flaw in blaming all Muslims for the actions of a few, then surely you can recognize the flaw in blaming Jews for the actions of just a few people, right?i can say this thread blame whole Muslim and Arabs for terrorism .

Hyperbole is unhelpful here. This should offer perspective.Surely, you as a Jew must, on a daily basis, apologise for the mass slaughter of Palestinians for the last 60 years? I'll be waiting
