Quote:A moderate Muslim cleric has been shot dead in Mombasa, the latest killing of a preacher in the Kenyan city.

And cherry-picking examples doesn't mean that you've answered the argument.

You'll either answer the point, or you won't. If you don't answer a point, it doesn't mean it wasn't made; it just means that you didn't answer it.

Avoiding points that one cannot answer is a tactic we've seen before ... but usually it's Heywood or a drive-by fundy. Repeating one's assertions without acknowledging objections is dishonest argumentation.

You should be better than that. You're supposed to be rational.
