"every Muslim cleric"

No. Only the ones who are quoted where you read.

If "every Muslim cleric" were preaching war and hatred, considering how many millions of Muslims there are in the world, don't you think that there would be a lot more of them fighting full-fledged war against their so-called enemies, instead of the much smaller, though no less horrifying, acts of terror the world endures today?

One of my friends, a 70-year-old volunteer at the library, was once buttonholed at a polling place in my town, where she was working as a Republican Party volunteer. The woman who began talking to her criticized her for working at a library that had "the largest collection of witch books of any library in the county". (This, btw, is not true, though we do have quite a few Hallowe'en books. Some children and their parents like them.) My friend replied, "You found mostly witch books in our library because that's what you were looking for." The conversation ended at that point.

If you hear "the same shit" from "every Muslim cleric", you need to cast your net a little wider. You will find what you're looking for. Look for something else.
