So what you are in effect saying, minus your hyperbole, is even if geek were essentially correct...you wouldn't be able to recognize it as fact.

No, that is not what I am saying at all. That is a horrendous leap of logic.

What exactly am I supposed to be accepting as fact again? That all Muslims are deserving of death? I think that's it. So let's look at this...

First off, I don't know that this is a provable statement. Whether someone "deserves" to die is not always subjective (I would argue that there are those who do deserve death by any decent standard), but it IS very tricky to combine logic and morality.

But, assuming that we can safely say that it is a fact someone deserves to die (and surely there are plenty of terrorists who deserve worse than that), what you are suggesting here is still beyond logic. If every Muslim I had ever met deserved death, it might be a safe assumption that the next one I met would as well, but it would not be a proven fact.

Finally, WHAT YOU ARE SUGGESTING IS F*CKING SICK!!!! Really, I don't see why anything you could say should be expected to change my mind. I can't think of anything you could say that would convince me the Holocaust was OK either.
