Go on believing that only Arab Muslims are intolerant and expansionist. Just don't accuse others of downplaying the threat.

Everywhere Islam is, it sits on a bloody border. This is true whether it is in the Middle East, Indonesia, or central Asia.

Just say what you mean: you want all the terrorists shown on this TV show to be Arabs. I'm not sure why you have this particular obsession, but I have some ideas.

Go on believing that only Arab Muslims

Once again, I said ISLAMIST. Not Arab. There are Arabs who are not Islamist and there are Islamists who are not Arab. You keep attempting to blur that distinction.

The Chechens are in a hot war with Russia. That has been going on for some time.

I see that conflict as much more of a border war. 9-11 was not a border war. It instead is an ideological one - Islamism versus western values. That is the main battle we face.

So I see it as a very critical distinction.
