Instead of reading this type of fear mongering drivel and swallowing it completely, it might make sense to see if you can actually watch the ads the author says are playing in Pakistan. Id like to judge for myself how they are "apologizing" without taking the authors word for it.

I use Larry here as an example of extremist behavior-

Heres a guy with pretty extreme views that he regards as mainstream, who never does any further research on opinion pieces he reads and he decides are factual, and who has placed on ignore every single person who typically disagrees with him on this forum, and probably all the forums he's on.

Once you add it all up, you have someone who purposely makes it so hes blind, deaf, and dumb to any dissenting opinion, and only can see agreement, or quasi agreement, which reinforces his belief that his views are widely held and mainstream.

This is exactly what an Islamic extremist terrorist does when he goes off to a training camp in the mountains, taking for granted as truth any silly rumor, and deciding to switch off ones brain and its capacity for critical thinking. The difference there is typically you have a totally uneducated naive little boy or young man whos taken off and molded into an effective terrorist, while here, your typical extremist has all the same access to all the same informational freedoms as the rest of us, but makes an effort to ignore anything they don't like. Its despicable.
