Despite the fact that I disagree with many of your views, I have the utmost respect for you as an individualist and an open mind, having read a couple of your books previously. Regarding the piece you posted from “The Onion,” although it is funny, don’t you think your introduction was a bit distasteful, explaining,”I have a feeling this is indeed exactly what EVERY ISLAMIST surprisingly finds himself.” Meaning, don’t you believe we should be fair, and not undermine every Islamist with the presumption that they ALL believe in the idea of anti-Western extremist terrorism? Don’t you think that sometimes you tend to categorize Islam as something with too narrow of an ideology or–even more aptly–agenda?

[Let me see--you expect political correctness from Ms. Bruce? And perhaps there's a reason why she wrote "Islamist" and not "Muslim." Distasteful? Tammy Blog thinks this sort of complaint on the anniversary of Islamists murdering 3,000 people, is distasteful. As Ms. bruce would say, Sheesh.--ed.]
