Sorry, that was a joke, not a cheap shot. Although it does illustrate that it's hard to tell the difference out of context.

that is a reasoned, prudent conclusion to make, based on what you know. But I see NOTHING like that reasonableness when it comes to Islam when you post crap like this:

My personal favorite is the Ft. Hood massacre by the Islamist radical psychiatrist. That incident is frequently described by the media as a "workplace violence incident".

Why is this event "Islamist"? You link it to the terrorist attacks on 9/11. Why isn't your "personal favorite" about how the Army is a trained killer factory? Why isn't your "personal favorite" a poster child for gun control? All of those labels could be hung on what happened, all equally useless in their narrowness. EVEN IF the shooter at Ft Hood was Osama Bin Laden's twin brother, to judge the other billion and a half Muslims based on the actions of this one person is ridiculous. It is shallow, simplistic stereotyping. I believe you can do better, but it's going to require more critical thinking and a more open mind.
