yes, and that's why they need to spend more time understanding it instead of just reacting.

Yes, again. That's why I mentioned the cycle of rhetoric as otlined in my first sentences. Seems that you are somehow seeing disagreement when we are agreeing here.
What I find MOST objectionable in this reactionary cycle is that if one merely states their views about Islamism by voicing their rejection of the actual political philosophy involved -- the totalitarian viewpont, the treatment of women and gay people, the extreme need for conformity, the lengths they are willing to go in order to implement this political philosopy, the lack of freedom of expression, etc., and don't even talk about Bush, republicans or anything else -- then the immediate reaction by imbiciles is STILL "you are a right winger". This makes me want to just scream sometimes, to tell you the truth.
