Well, that could be an interpretation of the initial post, but it actually doesn't go so far as to say that and I had a different way of understanding it. As I tried to point out in my last post, there is a sense in which the singled-out behavior is "exclusive" to Muslims. It is not exclusive to Muslims in the sense of the event in its most basic form. It is exclusive, however, in the sense of a number of other dimensions. I would argue that these dimensions can lead us to conclude that the general body of Islam (at least in certain parts of the world) has a bigger problem with these sorts of events than other religions and ideologies.
