But also every time this happens, non-Muslims call on Muslims everywhere 
to denounce the act, pushing the notion that if you don't, you must

At the same time, though, we don't feel the need to apologise to that

destruction that's perpetrated by a few who claim to be "speaking" on 
behalf of many.
