   We have to be careful about claiming that anyone who has ever made a critique of Islam or Muslims is responsible for Friday's tragedy. That's not fair, just like it wasn't fair when some people tried to claim that every every greeny was responsible for the actions of the Unabomber. (1/2)

     But if prominent environmentalists went about making dehumanizing comments about folks who work in tech or fossil fuel industries, that would certainly help create a climate of justification for violence against them. So there are more than a few public intellectuals who need to have a serious think about their habit of making lazy generalizations about Muslims as a type of person, instead of carefully criticizing #Islamism as a *political* philosophy not shared by most Muslims.
