Your comment raises a number of points that would take awhile to respond to. Let me just say that I think the author's phrase about the "invincible conviction" of the moronic Muslim bomber is way too florid and maudlin -- it gives the murderer a lot more moral and tactical credit than he deserves. The author is on weak ground, so he strains too hard to make his points.
Okay, being a published author myself, I can see your angle here. Florid and maudlin? Well, maybe. However, I don't think that syntax and verbiage are a cover for a weak argument in this case. YOU may not agree with the discourse or the conclusions reached, but that doesn't make them weak anymore than your mere assertion makes you right.
