And you need to read what I was replying to. It wasn't the article. It was other posters demanding that we declare war on Islam front and center. And to do anything other than that was being 'PC' and an 'apologist for Islam' etc. I was simply pointing out to do so would be foolish and not further our cause. Go read it again...
Following the thread Reply To markers, my post 129 was a Reply To your post 12, your post 12 was a Reply To post 1. Post 1 is the article. You didn't direct your response to any of those other posters. That's pretty clear and straightforward.

Guess what? I fully agree with the "point" you're trying to make here. The problem is that your aim is bad and you blasted the wrong target. Free Republic, like most discussion boards, is full of posters who shoot from the lip and think that the solution to every issue is to "nuke 'em", etc. - it's not always easy to stay "on point".
The premise of the article and your premise are not mutually contradictory or incompatible if you follow the logic of the actual words.
