Subject: RE: BS: Muslim Violence
I don't think my ignorance of the topic was as great as yours, Whistle Stop. I knew enough to know better than to make a statement like,

"practically every page of the Koran contains"

But you have agreed that what you said was not valid, and I accept that. Everything else I have posted that was addressed to you since you said that was in direct response to questions you asked of me. But the issue, as far as I'm concerned, is not whether or not either of us is ignorant. It's how we use our words, and what we are willing to do about it when our words are shown to be incorrect and are likely to promote the spread of hateful stereotypes.
