ok I'm not sure I'm right. The only way to (maybe) know for sure would be to test people before and after they read the article and see what effect it had on their perceptions. Without such testing I would never say I was 100% sure about my conclusion (and of course even with such testing, there's no guarantee you'd get a meaningful number).

I'm tempted to say I don't think she is adding to that perception but we will then have come full circle and begun the conversation once again and that would not be a productive use of time i don't think she is adding to it at all, i think she is correctly perceiving the perception of muslims as the 'enemy' is already out there, and that furthermore, each atrocity committed in the name of islam, that goes relatively unchallenged and thoroughly denounced (without equivocation) will inexoribly will lead toward a 'tipping point' of anti-muslim sentiment in other words they (the quiet muslim leaders) have been squandering what little good will toward islam there has been in the west by the previous deafening silence, now that it has hit her home turf....that 'did it' for her... 7/7 is her 9/11
