A response to a critical letter

It would seem that the writer James R. Leinicke would prefer that the editors censor letters for political correctness.  I prefer open and free expression myself, but realize that I am in a minority.  So I am moved to reply to those comments.

Ad hominem attacks and invidious and irrelevant comparisons are typical “arguments” of those with nothing rational to say.

Christians believe that the Bible is the revealed word of God.  If you don't believe this you cannot call yourself a Christian.  Muslims believe that the Koran is the reveled word of Allah.  Someone who doesn't believe this is not a Muslim, whatever they choose to call themselves.

The Koran requires believers to convert or kill all unbelievers.  A person who claims to not believe this is not a Muslim, whatever they choose to call themselves.  Anyone who does claim to believe this is a danger to civilization.

Islamic jihadists, ISIS, Al Qaeda, et al are practicing the Muslim religion,  Just ask them. If a persons political correctness or collectivist ideology leads them to deny this, they are simply delusional.  Such people commonly use accusations of racism and bigotry to demonize and excoriate those who do not agree with their idealistic world view.

It is of no use to point to those, who, claiming to be Muslims, choose not to commit any uncivilized acts, as being representative of Islam as a whole.  My problem is with the religion itself, and the practitioners of this religion who do commit atrocities in the name of that religion.  And the undeniable fact remains that the Koran does call for the killing of all unbelievers, whither or not any individual believer chooses to follow this prescription or not.

It is also illogical to point out the bad acts of one person or group to excuse the bad acts of another.  In other words the past actions of the Ku Klux Klan, the Nazis, Christian crusaders or witch burners are totally irrelevant with respect to the present actions of Islamists.  I would welcome rational comments on this matter.

Incidentally, my letter did not contain the word "terrorist", and facts are not assumptions.  Or vice versa.
