Intelligent people--and I mean intelligent enough to think for themselves--would know what we're up against. It's not as though what Islam is up to is any kind of big secret--after all, they openly tell us all the time. These are the same people who think the President "lied" about WMD--so now you're saying they believed him about all the rest?

Now, that's stupid.

They come to different conclusions about the dangers of Islam because they start with different premises. That's not to say they are stupid. That is to say they are wrong, though.

Some people, like the 'president lied' crew, do have a pathological affliction. It's not stupidity, exactly. They just start with their conclusion and work backwards, rather than start with the evidence and come to conclusions. That's certainly not smart, and it does seem stupid, but I think it's more a mental affliction than anything else.
