Hoi,
Your sarcasm is nothing but discrimination. You throw everybody who beliefs
on one pile. Just as if a religion, any religion is needed for people to
get off the rails. There are plenty of examples of that.
As to who is an actual Muslim and who understands the sunna and its
interpretation particularly in the light of Daesh, they are two distinct
questions. Any typical Muslim will leave the finer points to the scholars,
any typical Muslim will disagree with Daesh on many major points.
Thanks,
GerardM

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.
</sarcasm>
But who are you to decide who is an actual Muslim and who isn't?

Not sure we should be making such a link as the

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.
