These people are either severely deluded - completely broken away from reality -- or they just simply can't handle the truth about what is going on amongst them. I'm sure that, while Reid didn't say what he said to provoke the Muslims, he surely must have known what reaction he was going to get. Reid, the Pope, others, need to keep talking, because it puts the spotlight on Islamism and the threat it poses.
Thinking Muslims (I'm sure there are some), or Muslims who just love their children more than they love their fanaticism, ought to consider what the response would have been if Reid had made a speech to a general audience about the general hazards that threaten to ensnare young people. Or if he had focused on problems that threaten urban youth. I imagine those parents would have welcomed the remarks, or at least would have considered them food for thougth. I doubt that British Methodists or Catholics or Jews or secularists would have been calling for his head on a platter.
