And if it is, then I suggest a lot more effort should be made by non-Muslims to challenge Muslims to stand up and be counted amongst the freedom loving peoples of the world.

Sorry, but IMO you are putting the emphasis exactly where it does NOT belong. If my brother commits a crime, it seems to me it's MY responsibility to disavow the crime, and not my neighbors duty to come over to my house and urge me to do so.

The more that non-Muslims challenge, publicize and extol Muslims to be so counted, and the more that Muslims decline to do so, the greater will be the evidence that they do, indeed, align themselves with a doctrine that is in clear contradiction to the tenets of their own religion.

The problem is that it's NOT in clear contradiction, say the Wahabis/Salafists/Deobandi and that's the rub.
