Adis Milic

When the perpetrator is Muslim, the crime is immediately framed as a civilizational issue. Religion is dragged in, and millions are made to carry the guilt of one individual. But when the perpetrator is not Muslim, the crime is usually reduced to an “isolated case,” quietly buried, or completely detached from the offender’s ideological or religious background. Victims are victims. Yet sympathy is not equal, outrage is selective, and justice in public discourse is far from blind. This selective silence serves neither truth nor victims. It protects no innocent person. Instead, it reinforces a distorted narrative: that evil is condemned only when it comes from certain people, and excused or ignored when it comes from others. Calling for justice does not mean defending anyone. It means demanding one standard for all: whoever commits a crime is held accountable, whoever harms is judged without exceptions and without moral hypocrisy. Justice that is divided is not justice at all.
