Fine.

I can see that I'm going to wind up pretty much doubling my output as I slap all the appropriate PC modifiers on everything I write. "radical extremist Islamists." How's that for a nice triple redundancy?

So I get posts complaining about how I'm lumping all the good Muslims in with the extremists. Okay, obviously I should not have distracted sensitive minds with that provocative header. Apparently the header was of a lot more concern to some people than the fact that authorities in Iran, currently working on atomic weapons, are declaring a policy of extermination on us and the West in general. This wasn't the only example I've posted from Iran either.

Think about it. We are dealing with people who wrap bombs around their children. How difficult is it to visualize them casually writing off half the cities in Iran as radioactive rubble if it meant the extermination of Israel, or the destruction of Washington DC?

But we sure as hell don't want to hurt the feelings of all those moderate Muslims, wherever they're hiding.
