So, I presented an recent article published by a large grass roots group of Muslims in America. those grass roots are in the Muslim Brotherhood. I SHOWED you the evidence, and you said they SEEMED okay to you. Do you normally sift evidence by your feelings alone, and just disregard evidence that doesn't feel good? I guess you must, that alone explains how you could post the words of an Ikhwan front group, have it pointed out to you, and then say you think they're just hunky dory Americans because they SEEMED good! Boy are you easy to fool! insist that it is a front group for terrorism based on the article you used to support your complaint. The article, however, concluded the opposite No it didn't. It concluded that MAS was denying its background, but as you climbed higher in the organization, they let the secret out that they were still Ikhwan. Can't you read? Guess not, if your FEELINGS get in the way. And you FEEL that pointing out extremism is --- wait for it -- extremism! So now you can call all the names you like, because you FEEL it. So I won't bother quoting what al Banna or Sayd Qutb or the other founders and spiritual leaders of Muslim Brotherhood, whom I see you're now defending as wonderful moderates, actually had to say, because you FEEL you know better. You are a walking exemplar of the triumph of feelings over reason, you know that? A testament to what liberalism has become. Like the old joke says, a liberal is a man too broad-minded to take his own side in an argument.
