re: #186 Charles

The thing that’s especially irritating about this “Ground Zero mosque” idiocy is that there actually are a few Islamist organizations in the US that deserve criticism for a hidden extremist agenda. Sometimes not even very hidden.

The fools who rant about the Cordoba House — which is one of the best examples of a real moderate Muslim group I’ve seen — are delegitimizing all criticism of the real Islamist groups, and making it very easy to paint anyone who raises objections for REAL reasons as being just as crazy as Spencer and Geller and their followers.

In a weird self-defeating way, the Bigot Brigade actually makes it easier for the real Islamists to avoid detection.

No… in a very real, calculated way, this allows Spencer and Geller go right to the source of their hatreds, Islam in general.
