Not my motivation
Aruru says to me, "Or, more ominously, perhaps you do have solutions [to the problem of Islamic supremacy], but they so malignant that you – and whoever might share your views – keep these solutions close to the chest? I fear that this may be closest to the truth. I hope I'm wrong."
Aruru, I have to thank you for elevating the tone of our conversation over the past few days. I never understood why you have so vehemently attacked my reasoning until I read the above passage from you.
I have never advocated the least bit of violence or coercion against those that practice Islam. I strongly oppose the war in Iraq; I have written on Greenwald's articles and elsewhere on Salon to condemn the American policies on torture and detention. I have written in the past to say that I believe we should not erode or take away one bit of civil liberty from any American, no matter what religion they practice. Click on my "Read more Golden Boy letters" and you will see that while I strongly oppose the Islamic ideology, all my statements here are true.
Yet you mistrust my motives, and I think that's why you've come after me so strongly. I think what you mistrust the most is the fact that I won't buy into the statement that only a fringe element of Muslims is involved in coercion and violence. I've shown that it has in fact become national policy in large and important Islamic states, which seems to me to contradict the "fringe" argument, but you cannot or will not see that. Fair enough. I did think it important to clarify what I really think, though.

His responses are certified neocon pap and are clear that he never served a day in the military and watches faux news rather than relying upon multiple sources and evaluating the information after informed discovery and analysis. His lack of travel outside the US is also clearly evident. Keep drinking the kook-aid, it's fun to watch you self immolate with your misguided, ill-informed commentary on subjects that demonstrate you are obtaining information strictly from the lips of Ailes & co.
