WOW! What a distortion! It just completely changes everything you said
before! OK, just to get it straight: you say that there is something
endemically, *not inherently* violent and antisemitic in "Islamic cultures
in the Middle East." Talk about a filioque clause!
>I said Islamic cultures in the Middle East, not Islam in the abstract.
I know you did: I acknowledged that in an earlier post, then went on to say
that it's a distinction without a difference. The absurdity of the notion
was demonstrated by substituting "W. Xtian culture" and "nazism" for the
terms you used. Apparently you still didn't get it.
BTW, please enlighten us as to some of these "Islamic cultures in the Middle
East," on whose endemic violence and antisemitism you seem so expert.
