Not all southerners were slave owners, but southern society as a whole allowed the practice of keeping slaves, not only to exist, but to prosper. As a result, southern society as a whole felt the wrath of reconstruction for it's failure to reign in those that couldn't see the wrong in one person owning another. In my opinion you're dealing with a parallel in Islam. The Islamic society as a group allows the terroristic and barbaric elements of it's religion to thrive and as such is responsible for it's atrocities.
Well put
Oh yes....let's compare Southern slave holders/non-slave holders to Muslim terrorists/non-terrorists.
Slavery and terrorism they are among the more extreme of amoral actions in humanity. Seems to be a pretty reasonable basis of comparison. And clearly he's right, even my Muslim friends when I point out the only thing that bothers me about Muslims in this country is the widespread silence over condemning terrorists agree there should be more vocal opposition within the Muslim community and separation from their actions.
