Is it Islamophobic to ask moderate Muslims to condemn terrorism?

What do you think of this article on the topic?: http://www.loonwatch.com/2014/12/stop-asking-muslims-to-condemn-terrorism-its-bigoted-and-islamophobic/

In light of the recent Islamic terrorist attack in France, I’ve already began seeing comments on the news stories about how “silent” moderate Muslims are and how they aren’t condemning the attack.

It’s as if we assume all Muslims are sympathetic to terrorism unless they vocally condemn these terrorists. Well, where were the Christians condemning Anders Breivik? No one seemed to say Christian churches needed to voice their opposition to him.

Do you assume Muslims are sympathetic to terrorism unless they explicitly condemn it?
