re: #196 Charles

You seem to be saying that all rational criticism of militant Islam is based on bigotry, and I strongly disagree.

That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that as I saw it, the anti-jihad blogosphere was always characterized by obvious bigotry. So we’d have to bury down do determining exactly at what point opposition to militant Islam is bigoted.

For example, one basic criterion for me was a blanket characterization of people who differed in their opposition to militant Islam as appeasers. That was happening in spades all over the rightwing anti-jihad blogosphere.
