Please know that I am in no way an apologist or a cultural relativist. I think Islam is the greatest threat to progress and universal human freedom that 21st century planet earth presently has. With that said, I agree with Fluke on this one. I think he's just being misunderstood. His position is more about approaching the islamic problem by criticizing it through civil discourse. It reminds me of what Geert Wilders says every time he's called racist or intolerant. He specifies that he opposes Islam, not muslims. Though it makes us temporarily feel better, saying "muslims are f*ckheads" does nothing to move the conversation in the right direction. It only creates conflict, which i believe should be a last resort.
