Thanks for this comment. I actually upvoted the parent out of emotion when I read it, for I personally would agree with almost everything it said.

However, when I read your comment, I realized that I don't know that many muslims personally (maybe 1-2) and I have never bothered to raise these topics with them to see how they would respond. So, it is not right for me to assume that they wouldn't criticize these events, especially given that there is a plethora of atheist ex-muslims online, which makes it credible(and to an extent obvious) that there are many more closeted atheists or otherwise liberals within the community, all of whom would prove the parent flat out wrong

The problems still exist. The religious leaders of all Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) are still not doing enough, see my other comments here. Muslims alone can't be expected to change anything if others aren't willing.
