Why Protect Muslims After Terrorist Attacks

:::note[Description]

Question:

Why is protecting Muslims always emphasized after terrorist attacks? - An exploration of why governments and societies emphasize protecting Muslims after terrorist attacks, despite public anger. :::

Answer:

You may be right that there are messages which are commonly repeated after such events, but these messages are not limited disassociating muslims and islam from the attack (which is very important because terrorists use the name of islam to do it) but also to condemn these horrific deeds and express solidarity with the victims of attack, few examples I am mentioning below:

This are also these common reactions after every terrorist attack :

they want to attack “our way of life” , this is an attack on the entire free world we will not “let them win” and we will “smoke then out of their holes” this is “cowardly” and barbaric “they are a blot on humanity” Our heart goes out to victims and families deepest condolences, stand united We stand in strong solidarity with the people of xxxxxx Secondly you mentioned: “…But so few condemnations of the attack…” →

This is factually incorrect, please keep your eyes and ears open - just because you didn’t hear doesn’t mean that it does not happen. Take case of recent NICE attack - all world leaders condemned it so I dont understand what do you mean by few condemnations ?: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/world-leaders-react-horror-attack-40598524 Shock, sympathy as world leaders respond to carnage in Nice France attack reactions: Obama prays for victims, Trump says ‘this is war’ Hollande and world leaders condemn Nice attack Nice attack: truck driver named as France mourns 84 killed in Bastille Day atrocity – as it happened
