A good way to close down griticism of religion:

I will simply refer you the the numerous posts suggesting that believers and adherents to what are called "evil" ideas are in turn enablers of others who commit violent acts in the name of their viewe of those ideas.

Accomplice liability in criminal law carries the same punishment as that given to the principal actor.

Accusing any observant Muslim of being an accomplice to terrorism is not an attack on an idea.
