I blasted I think, the logic you used to suggest what you did. I blasted, not a bad way of saying it, several others also. As I recall in general, the rationale was based upon using the actions of a few to paint a broad stroke. That is a general recollection and I don't know if the above applies to any words we exchanged. Mr. Spencer in his quiet way was asking, will some smart Islamic scholar come up and give a reasonable rationale that can be used to argue against what we consider the extreme elements of Islam that logically follow the Koran. I believe he has made an honest effort to do this and does not see how it can be done. He has looked and looked and researched and cannot find an answer. If an idea is negative and it seems based upon faulty logic, I attack. In any question a negative opinion, the benefit of the doubt must be extended. To proffer Islam is evil is just like finding guilt in a person.
