If you don't think that reducing the safe-harbor of soft support (or the absence of outright condemnation) from others in the religion will make a difference, then I don't know what to say. If you are able to persuade, from the inside, the parts of the muslim community who feel like people who denounce the prophet should be punished severely but who are unwilling to actually pull the trigger, maybe you decrease the number of muslims in the community who look the other way when it occurs. Maybe you reduce the monetary support.
Let me ask you a question. If a bunch of mormons started killing muslims, would you not want the mormon church and mormons generally to speak out against it--to try to convince other mormons that it was wrong, even though you knew the vast number of mormons didn't go out killing people?

That's a fuck ton of people who are being asked to "speak out" about something that they, their religious leader, their friends, their families had nothing to do with, and a lot of cases may not even know about. About a fourth of the world's population should be speaking out??? This makes no sense at all.
