Sorry, no. Iā€™m not going to give you clicks or views on social media beyond this board. Iā€™m satisfied that nobody follows you on twitter even though your account is clearly endeavoring to be something people follow, and thatā€™s enough for me. Your twitter feed is as unexceptional as your skill at playing poker and your contributions to French literature, or the understanding thereof. ---

Nope, I mainly use Twitter to be a ā€œreply guyā€ and to put up images to post here. I do get attention for my replies on othersā€™ tweets; if I cared much about what was on my own original timeline I wouldnā€™t post those images apropos of nothing, and I would do a lot more tweeting and retweeting in general. Click the ā€œrepliesā€ section of my profile and compare that volume to my sparse quantity of original tweets and see for yourself. ---

Not seeing ā€œhe hates them the way that Jews hate Hitlerā€. I have donated money to [Ex-Muslims of North America](https://exmuslims.org/donate/). Do you think Jews in the 1930s would have seen Nazis as people to support in seeing the light of reason? Maybe some, but in most casesā€“the ā€œJewsā€ you refer to here collectivelyā€“I think not. This has nothing to do with race or any other immutable characteristic. Whether weā€™re talking about Arabs, Persians, South Asians, or African Americans, I welcome anyone turning away from this dark ideology. I repeat: itā€™s an _ideology_, not a race or other immutable characteristic! As for vacationing in predominantly Muslim countries, maybe some of you have done that. But I suspect you were not young women backpacking alone. And i even more strongly suspect you werenā€™t an openly gay couple, or openly atheist. We all know you canā€™t go through the Muslim world freely expressing those identities. And if you cannot, why would I consider it a good place to visit? BTW, **ASL** : Iā€™m no weakling! I would have been gone long ago in the face of these attacks if I were. ---

Your equating Muslims with Nazis minimalizes both the harm done by the Nazis and the harm done by the most radical Muslims, whose primary victims areā€¦ other Muslims. But, hey, if theyā€™re all Nazis to youā€¦ I mean, when you look at something like, say, the Camp Speicher Massacre, do you see parallels to the holocaust, or do you just see Nazis killings Nazis? ---
