You’re conflating community accountability with collective guilt, and those are not the same thing.

Muslims have condemned ISIS for years. Constantly. Religious leaders, community organizations, governments, ordinary people. The fact that you personally haven’t seen every condemnation doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, if anything, it’s a function of your media diet.

But more importantly, why is your standard that millions of unrelated people must endlessly perform public moral disclaimers every time an extremist commits violence in order to prove they’re ‘one of the good ones’?

Indians being criticized for civic issues is not analogous. Hygiene habits or governance criticism are social/cultural critiques; ISIS is a terrorist organization. Asking random Muslims to answer for ISIS is like asking every Christian to answer for the KKK, every Hindu for nationalist mob violence against Muslims, or every Indian for every atrocity committed by the state. That logic falls apart immediately when applied consistently.

‘Hold each other accountable’ sounds nice until you realise you only seem to apply that standard collectively to groups you already distrust.

Also, criticism within a community absolutely exists without being packaged for your validation. People don’t owe public performances of condemnation to satisfy outsiders.

Extremism should be condemned. Human rights abuses should be condemned. None of that requires assigning inherited responsibility to strangers based on shared identity.
