It is long past time to admit that there are vanishingly few moderate and/or good Muslims. The absolute best they, as a group, will ever do is remain silent in the face of Islamic misconduct. And more generally, the misconduct of people who also happen to be Muslim. Before you berate me for this observation, watch the above video with Lubna Zaidi.
Just as with our political class, where it is not the politicians that are the problem; rather, it is the voters. It is not the Muslims that are the problem. Rather, it is what Boghossian and Zaidi label, their enablers. Typically, but not exclusively, from the left. They tolerate or even allow the misconduct, and then turn a blind eye to it.
Stop pretending. Stop the wishful thinking. Stop the suicidal empathy. It is time to be serious.
