(10,164 posts)Erecting straw men (via fallacious extrapolation, for the most part) has been the entire focus of your multiple diatribes against me. Pure. Comedy. Gold.
I'll make this my last attempt to clarify your staggeringly wrong-headed analysis of my position before ignoring you. Did I "dehumanize" the vermin who committed these murders? Damn right I did. I consider murderers to be less than human, an evaluation that I make with precisely zero regard to race or religion. Did I dehumanize anyone else? Obviously not. I draw a hard, fast line between those people who quite rightfully object to that "Western imperialism" and those who commit the murder of innocents in reaction not to forcible oppression, to violence, or even to the viable threat thereof, but over an insult to their religion. Those people are vermin, and no amount of sanctimonious offense based on an absurd misapplication of the clearly stated actual target of the attribution is going to change that.
Toodles.
