Your punchline — “While the picture is in no way indicative of the city’s Muslim population. . . ” — is, as you probably know, repeated as an axiomatic mantra in various ways in innumerable news stories from nearly every mainstream media news source. It is an axiomatic assumption throughout the West today that “most Muslims are harmless and abhor terrorism”. I have never seen a shred of evidence to back up this assertion: it simply must be true, therefore it is, that’s the logic.

Meanwhile, with the metastasizing violence and the widespread indications throughout the Muslim world and Muslim communities within the West of everything ranging from active support to passive enabling of Islamic pathologies including terrorism (as well as abuse of women, children, honor killings, anti-liberal attitudes about free speech, homosexuals, women, Sharia law, etc.), the evidence of a massively endemic cultural pathology among an amorphously large number of Muslims worldwide is mounting.
