I think you’re reading in a subtext that isn’t there. Most people care mainly about what’s happening to their own nationality or ethnic group. Islam doesn’t create a unifying bond that overrides that in the same way Christianity doesn’t. It’s like how Americans don’t care especially about whats happening in France based on shared Christian identity.

Yes, we're asked, repeatedly and specifically, to avoid generalizing about large groups of people --- nationalities, religions, &c. I get that you may have a vantage on this that we don't have, but you still have to be careful about how you communicate it. Some things are tricky to communicate in a forum like this; some things may be so tricky that they aren't worth communicating. I don't know. I just did a double take at the first sentence of your last comment, thought to myself "how would I react if anyone but Rayiner had written this", and told you so. That's all.

As a South Asian with a virtually identical vantage point, I can assure you that rayiner has been repeatedly painting a false picture of south Asians in general and south asian muslims in particular.
