No, all of those quotes illustrate that your insinuation that people calling Islam bad were calling all Muslims terrorists is wrong.
They all illustrate the point that you statement had no place in the discussion.
Every single one of those is entirely on topic. They all show that there is no link between discussing Islam as it relates to the situation and thinking all Muslims are bad as you brought up.
I’m not sure how to make the point any simpler for you. I’m honestly beginning to wonder if you are trolling in this thread. You’ve shown far more intelligence in other threads.

You’re right that no one said that all Muslims were terrorists. I wasn’t aiming at anyone in particular, just making an observation–one that I feel is important to make in the wake of things like this. I hate terrorism, and terrorists. But I do feel for good Muslims in America who are treated with suspicion or derision, a punishment to a crime they haven’t committed.
I’m not saying anyone specifically made that point in this thread. I was just making a comment about something that is far too prevalent among Americans today (Islamophobia).
