Let's not paint a broad brush. Since you brought that up, these are some of the relevant quotes from this and other Muslim groups related to the shooting in Dallas recently with the cartoon that made fun of Muhammad.

In response to the shooting, Dr. Nasim Rehmatullah, National Vice President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA, released the following statement:

“Violence is never an acceptable response to hate speech, no matter how inflammatory and uncivilized that speech is. While we do not yet know what motivated these shooters, we urge calm and defer to local, state, and federal authorities to peaceably and justly resolve this.”

Dr. Bilal Rana, President of Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association released a statement as well:

“On behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association – the largest Muslim youth group in the country – we stand by our fellow Americans in shock and horror at today’s shooting. While we wait for investigators to tell us more about the shooters, we wholly condemn any such acts of violence and find them completely unjustifiable. Our faith calls us to engage in dialogue. So we condemn any use of violence to intimidate anyone.”

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights organization, spoke out in a statement.

"We condemn yesterday's attack on an anti-Islam event in Garland, Texas, without reservation," the organization declared in a statement. "We also reiterate our view that violence in response to anti-Islam programs like the one in Garland is more insulting to our faith than any cartoon, however defamatory. Bigoted speech can never be an excuse for violence."

The group Muslims Against ISIS responded to the shooting with the following statement on Facebook:

“Whoever the shooters are, we condemn them whole heartedly, that goes without saying. Any act of violence on innocent people should be condemned. Cartoons or insulting Our Prophet (pbuh) should never result shootouts like this.”

Muslim community expressed support for Geller’s ‘free speech’ rights, both before and after the shooting. The night before Geller’s event, Alia Salem, head of the Dallas chapter of the Council on Islamic Relations, spoke with Dean Obeidallah, reporter for the Daily Beast by phone, saying that:

“she had “passionately urged” Muslims to ignore Geller. Salem said that she’s a strong supporter of freedom of expression and believes that Geller certainly has the right to draw hateful cartoons about any religious figure she so chooses, including the Prophet Muhammad. But she urged Muslim community members to not give Geller “what she wants” and respond or even protest the event.”

On April 25, Salem posted the following statement on Facebook:

I am calling on ALL community members in Dallas/Fort Worth to ignore and encourage others in the community to ignore Pamela Geller who will be holding a “Draw the Prophet Muhammad” contest at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland on May 3rd, 2015. This is her effort to incite our community and rile us up and I do not want us to give her the satisfaction or the media attention she thrives on. Without our reaction she has no story at all and no draw for the media which is what keeps her going and allows her to get publicity.
