Yeah most people get mad at me and say I don't understand the culture.. Except they stfu pretty fast when I tell them half my family is muslim lol. Ik not all of them are Jihadis, but the ones that aren't extremists are the ones not following the religion correctly. I'm okay with that, but everyone gets so bent out of shape.
As for deflection it's a very elementary attack, and it's used quite often by liberals. They have no way to defend islam, so they attack other religions and say they are all just as bad. Last I checked, Jews weren't responsible for 9/11..
