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. This logic is flawed imo because you do not understand what gives the jihadis ammo. Our being infidels at home doesn't do it. They know we are infidels. It is our coming over there, attacking them as we see it, which it is in their interest to portray as a new Crusade designed to conquer, disprespect and rule over all of Islam. Anything that gives them ammo for that message helps them. Now you might point out that invading Iraq helped them, and I would reply sure it did, but there were other reasons that outweighed jihadi propaganda. There is no necessity to go around giving images of flushing Korans to give them more aid for their paranoid imagry. We must repect Islam while fighting Islamism.
