The teenagers at that site are relentless, mean-spirited, dogmatic, narrow minded, biased, dangerous, and marginal.
Their numbers are few.


You don't know that they are marginal. You don't know that they are few. There's evidence that they are neither. Certainly, open sale of snuff videos has been reported in many mosques, here, in England and Germany. We do know that mujahadeen number in the tens of thousands, at least (probably more when you add in the Kashmiri and Chechen fighters), and are being recruited from Muslim communities in the West as well as the East. How do we know this? We have taken Taliban prisoners who are American and English citizens. The web site I linked openly encourages teenagers to go fight jihad -- war against the infidel -- as a duty of their religion.

And to say "this is just a few teenagers" is to deny the obvious -- the teenagers are not making the snuff videos, they are just admiring them. Who are the guys who are really decapitating infidels on video, hmmm? This is not a problem in your eyes, that an entire subculture thinks this stuff is great and is passing it to Muslim American teens to admire? Can you say "shooting the messenger?"

Just like you, Lindy, Bill, Jonah Goldberg and the rest.

Bye-bye.
