Why do people think Muslims don't condemn terror attacks?

There are countless examples from countless sources. Its all on the internet if you Google it. The conclusion I have to draw is that some people do not want to.

I have also done a long post, which explains my take on the cultural/political misconceptions which people have about the UK Muslim community:

If you read my post and have a reasonable argument against then I will respect that. If you won't deal with my arguments, post a cherry-picked Qu'ran verse from Breitbart and claim that it shows all Muslims support terrorism; I will have no respect for you and I will ignore you because I'm done debating this for now.

Goodnight people.

So you can find countless examples that can fill a Google search. Is the per capita amount of condemnation countless?

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: Really? Read my linked post above it has a link to a scientific study on Muslim attitudes in the UK.
@Burnley123: I'm as impressed with that as I am with all statistics. Like the one I heard about a year ago that most Muslims support Isis.
What I don't see is a lot of is the community making their condemnation conspicuous. One could argue that the media keeps ignoring it, but I'd have a hard time swallowing that one. I have heard of some de-radicalization programs (no idea how widespread that effort is) but what I've heard little of is the Islamic community foiling terrorist plots. Usually when it does happen, it's law enforcement who get the credit for that, not Muslims turning in their extremist breathren.

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: I've also hear little from white vigilantes foiling mass shootings.

It is all over the media. I have quoted articles from three publications. Google and see.
@Burnley123: thus the justification for Muslims looking the other way

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: How do you know they look the other way?
@Burnley123: same way you know white guys do

@ImperialAerosolKidFromEP: I don't think either do and that is my point.
