We are not going to convince the jihadis no matter what we do, and going into a defensive crouch only give them more ammo. It is the moderate Muslims we are talking to.

OK, but then the Card statement doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

If Card's statement means that it is unpatriotic to agitate the extreme, then a cross war memorial or female rock star apparel can agitate as easily as can an article about a military report on Korans. If Card's principle means only that it unpatriotic to agitate the moderates, then none of what Card talks about is unpatriotic because moderates can put them in perspective and take them in stride.
