I didn't read anyone calling you a terrorist defender or an islam apologist. I will and do, along with others who have been following his threads, call joel both. You should not be slighted when nothing has been directed toward you.

Ah, but you DID say I was defending GIJoel. I'm just trying keep my record on FR straight about such things. I don't want to be labeled a "GIJoel" supporter, then somehow tagged as a "terrorist sympathizer" via association.

I admit that I am defensive about my perceptions of a stealth Soviet - it's so often met with derision and skepticism, despite any reasoned discussion of it. And the idea is helped not at all by those who would use it as an excuse to defend Islamic terrorism.
