Yes, because there are many nice self-avowed Jewish, Muslims,
Christians, etc. around the world. Therefore when some bad people do
something horrible in the name of their cultural and ideological
identity it actually has nothing to do with the ideas themselves, it's
always got to be some other historical, social or psychological factor,
otherwise we would be linking bad guys with good guys.

But who are you to decide who is an actual Muslim and who isn't?

its not even the latest place to fall victim to ISIS.
Wikimedia is a world wide community and the focus on Paris ignores
all our
other communities who have over the last week, months. year or
longer have
been affected by acts of terrorism, I think we should exercise care
when we
adopt activities that elevate events or imply some guilt of
association
immortalizing that as fact in a place like wikipedia
Very much agree broadly with Gnangarra, especially about links with
Islam.
The most positive and wiki way to respond is to ensure we're being
neutral, and that the reality of all attacks around the world are
being adequately and accurately recorded in a balanced manner from a
worldwide perspective.
However the attack on Paris is widely viewed as an escalation, not
because a citizen of one country is more valued than another, because
some places are more treasured by larger number of people of the
world, and also we're more shocked as we expect they are better
protected, and that creates an elevation of its own.
I appreciate the Signpost for very tastefully responding, in a
measured way.
