Two things with the 'don't judge Islam by its followers' fallacy
(1) Its a rhetorical trick to construct a pure Islam that has been tainted by humans and ringfence criticism.
(2) Its stupid - Muslims claim Islam has discernible, causative, direct effects on human behaviour, that is why they do dawah and try to convert people. So they claim Islam can be judged by the beahviour of Muslims when something 'good' happens, but not when something 'bad' happens.
Oh yeah, and that statement was made by Mehdi Hassan, a true creep, who says one thing in front of kuffars, and then behind their back calls all non Muslims as animals with no intelligence. Its just another piece of bullshit rhetoric and dawah by him and other apologists for Islam, trying to put the entire world on the back foot, wag his finger and try to make them feel guilty. Because of the duplicity of people like him though, its not working as much as it used to.
