instead you insist this thread, which you did not start is already about your single self selected topic.

My "self selected topic"? No, I read the essay. Did you?
You haven't provided a rebutal to prove this article is really about Iraq and US policy which is where you keep trying to take this conversation.... so I'm suggesting you stay within the scope of the editorial above if you'd like to discuss it. That way we don't have to go in circles in every thread - and while we're at it, we really don't need one more.
I can't recall ever starting one of these mid-east conversations, and I'm not here to give lectures. I'm not asking for a safe zone thread where you play by my rules....are you that idiotic to think you're disagreeing? We'd have to be having the same fucking conversation before we could conclude that we disagree. You readily admit you agree on most every point which is relevant, so don't cop out and claim this is about your differing opinion, this is about you trying to have a different conversation! It's hard to have any relative discussion with you when each posts of yours reflexively points towards others instead of addressing the issues being raised raised and it appears you're attempting to avoid any critical discussion of Islam. Now THAT - that is the biggest issue. If someone goes off about the beheading trend, and you're embracing the tiny bit of murky ethical grey area left all because you hate the idea of an us vs. them scenario - then you're missing the boat.
