re: #204 Talking Point Detective

And just to be clear, I’m not calling you a bigot. You’ve made your opposition to Islamophobes abundantly clear. What I’m questioning is whether that “anti-jihad blogosphere” was ever not infused throughout with bigotry. Ultimately, it’s really an academic point. It doesn’t matter nearly as much as maintaining vigilance in distinguishing between valid opposition to militant Islam and bigotry - and you have done a lot of good work in that respect - and have endured a lot of clearly undeserved personal attacks for doing so. But the lunatic Islamophobes have smeared people in a similar vein all along - this is not new behavior for them.

I think you are begging the question.

That which was bigoted is lumped with anti-jihad, hence anti-jihad is bigoted, followed by “give me an example” wherein the definition of anti-jihad can be moved.
