What does this article have to do with Muslims?

People do bad things, so we should not ever ever criticize Islam?

Also, who is "they", and who is saying that Muslims are a problem?

I have done plenty of criticizing of Islam because I believe some of Muhammad's teachings can be problematic, and certainly some Muslims have used his teachings in order to justify violence, but I don't know anyone who is saying that Muslims are a problem.

My point is: who's the US to go determining whether Islam is bad when we have our own citizens pulling this kind of shit.

Well, the fact that people do bad things doesn't mean we can't point out the fact that some folks use the teachings of Muhammad to justify bad behavior.

Are we to remain silent about bad things just because other people do bad things?

I was just curious as to why you chose that particular title with no explanation. You posted it minutes after I made a post critical of Islam. I pointed to a specific case, then show where Muhammad actions could've been influential in the actions of that particular case. Thought your timing was a little suspicious like you were taking a shot at me.
