I simply asked you a question. You twisted your own words. You said, I believe, “if I had my way...” That had nothing to do with whatever may or may not happen to moderate Muslims. You’re entitled to your own prejudice, but not your own facts.

Here’s a simple thought experiment. Let’s say I introduced you to 10 Muslims who believed in religious freedom and loved the United States. What would you conclude?
A) you change your mind about all Muslims
B) you conclude they are all lying (in which case you are immune to evidence)
C) you conclude they are not “true Muslims” (in which case you must consider granting them you respect)

Which would it be?

No thanks. Even if I was talking about muslims, which I was not (subject matter was islamists), I'll stick to picking my own friends.
