The Muslim way is to burn down buildings with airplanes- which is worse to burn- a common book, a empty building, or a building filled with thousands of people?
Nutjob blindness? How convenient to leave that very specific mention out.

Religious Intolerance

When a dozen cartoons satirizing the Prophet Mohammed appeared in the conservative Danish daily Jyllands-Posten, in September, 2005, there was only a muted outcry from the small Danish Muslim community, and little reaction in the rest of the Muslim world. Six months later, however, riots broke out and Danish embassies were burned; more than a hundred people died. Assassination threats were made, and continue to this day.

Last year, when plans were announced for Cordoba House, an Islamic community center to be built two blocks north of Ground Zero, few opposed them. The project was designed to promote moderate Islam and provide a bridge to other faiths. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, the Sufi cleric leading the effort, told the Times, in December, “We want to push back against the extremists.” In August, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted unanimously against granting historic protection to the building at 45-47 Park Place, thereby clearing the way for the construction of Park51, as the center is now known. A month later, it is the focus of a bitter quarrel about the place of Islam in our society.

You quote me and then proceed to completely avoid the question. Typical lawyer gobbledegook.

I take it that you consider your posts models of clarity? If so, I'll stick with my method of prose.

Didn't answer the issue of why you chose not to include the adjective "nutjob" in your post regarding "American way" in your comparison. Don't worry, most of us here have long abandoned reasoned responses from your side of the keyboard.

It's for the reader to be able to comprehend- I can't help your issue there.
