Good luck with that and welcome to my world. This is exactly how moderate Muslims feel about terrorists and other extremists and they are a much, much smaller percentage of the whole than extremist right-wingers. Yet we all get tarred with the same brush because these asshats cherry pick the bits & piece of Islam that suit their agenda (and ignore the rest) because, hey, it’s all part of Islam, it’s a Muslim problem. etc.

Yeah—it is, but it isn’t. It’s an extremism problem and it damned sure isn’t limited to Islam or Muslims.

Nope, and I for one am not sitting still for it. Luck or not. :-)
Heh maybe you remember when Obdicut and I went round and round on Jerry Brown as fiscal conservative? He simply could not accept the term despite all the evidence. It takes quite a conundrum to render that very bright guy to a hem and haw.
