In your post hailing Julia Gorin's disgraceful attack on Michael Totten's Balkan reporting, you mention

I do think she was somewhat rhetorically excessive. I don't think there was anything disgraceful about it. It was well-documented, and I have asked here repeatedly for substantive refutation of the salient point in her piece -- and come up empty.

And the quote you attribute to me is, once again, not mine. The only comment I had on that piece at Jihad Watch was this: "In this Jihad Watch exclusive, Julia Gorin discusses yet another fruitless search for that ever-elusive unicorn, a genuine and broad-based moderate Islam." The rest is comprised of the words of Julia Gorin or of people she quotes.

There are plenty of moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam, and that is a highly significant fact -- which was my main concern in publishing the piece.
