That was your take on the article.
My take on the article is from this sentence ... "The reason for the carnage here was, and is, militant Islam. Nothing more." In other words we are wasting our time wailing and gnashing teeth over News weak, when we should be moaning and groaning about terrorists.
Again, the two have absolutely nothing, nil, zip, zero, nada to do with each other.
Their paths intersect when one used the other to further an agenda. newsweek published an article they were unable to back up for whatever ill purpose. Militant islam shown the spotlight on that article when they used it as their newest reason to riot. Both are to blame and both should be dealt with accordingly.
The above article smells of fear, referring to conservatives as smug and pathological in their actions. I know several liberals he can add to his list. mr. smug delusion wants out? Fine the guy is out till we say he can come back in.
I'm saying that lie or not 1) Newsweek was wrong, but 2) not as wrong as the jihadists.
