“The Murders in Paris and Lebanon: Why Muslims Should Not Apologise”

I think this article has a point, though I don’t think that the case is quite as clear as the author tries to make it:

ISIS and other such groups have, for example, claimed explicitly Islamic legitimation for what they do far more consistently and intensely than the Buddhist nationalists in Myanmar have clothed themselves in Buddhist doctrine.

I think they’re wrong, and that they’re abusing and defaming their own claimed religious faith, but their arguments need to be acknowledged and confronted.
