Besides, since they don't approve of collective condemnation across the board for all ideologies and faiths, surely it only depends on the individual's actions and whether they are good or bad actors.
I guess if a given person has the memory of a dog, maybe the point of view of some select geniuses on this board makes perfect sense. No way they would do that on purpose, right?

Of course it ultimately boils down to an individuals actions. Literally nobody is saying "ALL MUSLIMS", ever. That's the strawman that just won't die.
You say: "Listen, there are very specific passages in islamic texts, which for a variety of reasons many adherents still take very seriously, and they are holding basic human rights back for millions of people (especially women and girls) in ways other religions currently aren't."
And then some dork pops in and goes "Are you saying ALLLLLL???". Like, no, nobody is saying it's "ALL". Nobody is EVER saying that, so you can let that stupid strawman die. But there IS a very clear, obvious, theological reason that 99% of the women in the world who have to completely cover their hair and faces in sorching heat, lest their husbands or families shun or kill them, are muslim.
We should be able to discuss that simple fact and how to change it within those communities without immediately being called a racist.
