But they almost never do. It's stunning, really. But when you think about it, it isn't. These are the people whom we grew accustomed to accomodating regardless of ideology, which was, to say the least a great mistake, and now must be reversed.

Note that the author, whatever he may privately think, never argued that this perception was necessarily wrong. Instead he confined his argument to the claim that targeting the culture as such is wrong. He further allowed that targeting instead the individuals, institutions and political entities that immediately manifest or promote such qualities (intolerance, hatred & violence) is legitimate, or at least that it is a different matter not suffering from the same illegitimacy as targeting the whole civilization or culture and (imlicitly) all its members. (It is not clear which of the two views the author actually holds.)
