That's not the point at all. Merely an illustration that we all know fine well, if we're honest, that we do and should only represent ourselves and we are not responsible for the actions of others just because they fall under the same broad "grouping". Otherwise I, as a white (culturally) Christian man, would never stop apologising to everyone I encounter. But I don't apologise because I don't feel responsible in the slightest for the actions of other white blokes? They aren't me? I can fully understand why a peaceful Muslim individual living a peaceful life doesn't feel inclined to apologise for, and in fact would feel uncomfortable with the notion that they are expected to apologise for, the actions of random other Muslim individuals.
