Sorry, not enough.

These terrorists can't hide without protection and without anyone else knowing who and where they are.

Instead of telling the world "not in my name", NAME THEM, IDENTIFY THEM, POINT TO THEM and let justice deal with THEM.

Like ribbons of meaningless self proclamation and colors of useless emotion, speak up...not about yourself but about those who terrorize and kill others. Don't tell the world they don't act in your name, point them out so in your name justice can deal with them.

Don't hide behind some cute hashtag, expose them so that the hashtag symbolizes the prisons they will go to and the ends they will meet.

Until Muslims do more than condemn and start acting to protect their religion, what they say means nothing because it is nothing more than talk.
It is a start. Fighting back by those entrenched in the group will not go from zero to 100%, it will need to happen in increments. Hopefully, this will continue to gain momentum.

I suspect you have no real realization of the bravery just taking this small step requires for some of these people. This is a religion where heresy is still punished by death.
