Response To A Reader

   In my previous post about the JihadWatch cite, reader Charles Bird
   asked me something interesting:

     and it also looks like he offered you a challenge. Can you support
     your contention that his entire thesis is that "all or most Muslims
     are dangerous"?

   First of all, I don't live in the world of 'challenges.' I write
   because I feel like it, and when I feel like it. Responding to a
   'challenge' would throw off my writing rhythm.

   Second, challenges are so 19th century. My name is not Aaron Burr.

   Third, Charles asks me to prove that JihadWatch does not think that
   "all or most Muslims are dangerous." If he's so gleefully asking me to
   prove it, it probably means that either I won't be able to, or he
   thinks that I can't. Either way, that means that according to Chalres,
   JihadWatch does not think that "all or most" Muslims are dangerous. It
   must, therefore, think that only "some" Muslims are dangerous.

   Since, I also think that some Muslims are dangerous, I am afraid I
   can't (and won't) be responding to Charles' suggestion, because it
   would appear that under Charles' reading JihadWatch and I are in
   agreement.

   That is all.
