Totally missed my point, sorry to say. You're very angry and defensive today, Juan. I wanted you to respond, specifically, to Faux Noise's allegation, but you took off after me, as if I had made it. I wanted your usual thoughtful refutation to the allegation of Muslim silence over Muslim atrocities but you went haywire. Peace. Out.
An unusually and unwarranted vitrolic response, Juan. My reference to "Faux Noise" should have made clear to you what I think of it; I was asking you to respond, on point, to the charge (made by Fox News, not by me) instead of merely listing power struggles going on in the Muslim world.
If you're going to respond at all to "Faux Noise," at least answer the charge. You've merely described power struggles in which one party is opposing Islamist groups for its own purposes. Here is the charge to which you should respond: if someone mishandled the koran or published cartoons offensive to Muslims, there'd be outrage and rioting in the Muslim world. But the atrocities committed by Boko Haram evoke nary a peep. People in the West do not think Muslims will ever crticize each other.
