No, their defacto leader pushed false rhetoric that all but ensured such an event would happen and they didn't reject him or even condemn his actions. This is what condemns the group.

I don't think Arabic people need to dignify terrorism with any response or condemnation at all....it's not Arabic people commiting the crimes, it's fanatics.

Just like republicans don't need to dignify this Jan 6th protest with any response at all, it's not republicans, it's fanatics.

I believe you may be looking for reasons to condemn republicans.

Republicans in congress and in the executive were the ones pushing the conspiracy theories that our democracy was at stake and the election was stolen. Even after their lies had been disproven they continued the farce.

It's disgusting that you try to excuse this by saying it's just fanatics. These fanatics continue to hold power within the party.

Shame on you for the gaslighting. I reject your belief, and you would do well not to try to ascribe other's motivations for their actions.

To me, the demonization of one group by another group or person for a political agenda, is the worst form of gaslighting possible.
