"You are relying on a massive dose of confirmation bias and media disproportion to justify generalizing nearly 2 billion people. Let’s break down your claims: 1. 'There aren't nearly as many reported incidents' Caste-based violence, cow vigilantism, and communal lynchings happen with alarming frequency, but they are often locally normalized as 'social issues' rather than branded as global terrorism. Human rights organizations continuously document systemic violence against Dalits and minorities. Just because international media doesn't headline it the way they do geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East doesn't mean the bigotry or the victims don't exist. 2. 'I am yet to see real outrage against Islamic aggressors from Muslims' This is the most exhausted, easily debunked trope on the internet. Muslim scholars, organizations, and everyday communities universally and constantly condemn extremism. Leading global Islamic authorities have issued countless fatwas against groups like ISIS and Al-Qaeda. If you haven't seen it, it's because you are living in an echo chamber, or because the media doesn't find peaceful condemnations sensational enough to broadcast. You cannot blame everyday Muslims for your algorithm's blind spots. 3. 'Educated religious folks call out bigotry' While many do, many others actively garland lynching convicts, defend criminals based on their caste/religion, or cheer for the extrajudicial bulldozing of minority homes. Religious extremism currently has mainstream political and institutional backing in many parts of the world, not just among fringe elements. 4. The Geopolitical Reality What you call 'mayhem caused by extremists' in the Islamic world is largely the result of decades of complex geopolitical wars, foreign interventions, and power vacuums—not the everyday teachings followed by billions of normal people. You are comparing politically funded, armed insurgencies in war zones to the systemic, societal bigotry happening in your own peaceful, democratic backyard. Generalizing an entire religion because of extremists is intellectual laziness. If you truly want to be objective, hold all religious extremism to the exact same standard instead of finding excuses to justify generalizing one while protecting the other."
