Where are all the militant Muslims?

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

TonySinclair-- I tried to use the basic arguments in this thread to persuade a man I've known for 15 years that Muslims were not all terrorists.

I saw the doors close behind his eyes as certainly as I can see the computer screen in front of me.

When you voice an argument that's so sloppy and ad hoc that it obviously refutes itself, all so you can cast about claims of tinfoil hattery... it may be time to sit down.

So that was a plea to stick to objective facts and elevate the tone of the debate?
