re: #137 Killgore Trout

Don’t misunderstand me. I’m not minimizing this at all. HOWEVER, the Palestinians don’t speak for all Muslims around the world.

My biggest issue is that this footage has been used to dehumanize and demonize ALL Muslims by people like Pam Geller and Robert Spencer and by the right wing blogosphere, and to great effect. I have friends that are now so scared and paranoid, even ten years later, that they *still* look for threats everywhere they go. I think this stuff has to be handled with care. That’s all.
