Psychological warfare

If this annoys or irritates anyone, I am sincerely sorry; but really, I have to ask because I am getting sick and tired of being sick and tired of accepting hypocrisy in the name of tolerance. 

C'mon, why should an entire ummah of decent Muslims be obliged to apologise for the crimes of al-Qaeda, ISIS, Boka Haram, the Taliban or any other Muslim-looking ego serving group? Isn't it sufficient that we've denounced their acts?

Why are other systems of faith conveniently absolved and not blamed for the actions of non-Islamic terrorists like the LRA, NLFT, the Army of God, CSA, the Israeli Army and the many anti-Muslim terrorists in Burma and India?

What sort of psychological warfare is this? Or is it a case of a wrong being a wrong only when it is committed by people who do not look like us, or who do not share our beliefs? Why can't we bite the damn bullet and resolve these issues as common threats? Why do we keep treating the beard, hijab and turban as badges of terror rather than religious customs? Why are we bent on creating a cluster fuck of confusion?

Why do we condone Muslim targeted bigotry, but find it stupid when Muslims genuinely talk about things that aren't conformable to morality, law and justice? Why is it okay to celebrate the rulings of a Supreme Court but crude to obey the commands of a Supreme God?
