No one is catagorized because they have a different opinion. People can differ in opinion without making prejudiced, bigoted remarks. Anger is understandable. I'm angry at the terrorists.
The posters are adults. I have to assume they know what they're saying. If they feel they've spoken in haste or error or out of emotion before thinking, they are free to apologize or correct their statements.

Let me clarify one thing I said in my last post.

I don't mean that all moderates become fanatics when lead by an inflammatory imam. But some do become fanatical and the others seem to be willing to become apologists or at the least enablers for the fanatics in their midst.

"No one is catagorized because they have a different opinion. People can differ in opinion without making prejudiced, bigoted remarks. Anger is understandable. I'm angry at the terrorists."

I was thinking more along the lines of distinguishing between an angry but atypical remark that has bigoted overtones due to anger at the moment, vrs calmly accepted bigotry that is a constant in a person life.

I think it with differentiating between the two types as one is redeamable and the other less so.
