I am not associated with Eteraz. I follow some of the issues he raises because I am interested.

I think it is impolite to bring vitriole to a blog I am not too familiar with and I am surprised that what I wrote offended anybody. It was all common sense. Of course common sense does not apply necessarily to Islamophobes, so I will just make what is the key observation and leave it at that.

Equating the reporting of the preaching and practice of religious texts with 1) lying and 2) a threat to public safety is accurate only when those texts are Islamic. But that's not what he meant, is it?

The blame lies not with the person reporting those facts, but with those commands and those who preach, defend, and seek to fulfill them today. -Amillinealist

What Wilders and other nuts at Jihadwatch, etc. do is pretend that Islam is a religion of 4 or 5 verses which should be interpreted by Wilders as absolute and throw out all other Chapters and Verses of the Holy Quran, especially the contradictory ones, and throw out the context and make everything relevant to European nativism, racism and isolationism.

Please. We have enough nuts in the world. Rabid anti-Muslim rhetoric is SUCH a bore. Wilders couldn't rehash a bit of life into it nor can his little fan, millinealist. Both of you have had you hand played for you for the past six or eight years by the neocons and to no avail. The middle east has not been recast in your image like a Golden Calf to worship. So give it up. You lose, we win.

The Quran actually has Verses about those who tear the Book to shreds to support this or that. On one side, we have al-Qaeda. And on the other, we have these nuts.

 It makes no difference. The Truth lies in between these extremists. The "evil" verses we all revealed by God and have their rightful and just place in history and revelation.

Hate speak and haters masquerading as human rights champions can change a damn thing about it.
