Those who do not like the messages have tended here to attempt to kill
(translation discredit) the messengers, when what they actually should
be doing, if they were actually engaged in good faith presuppositionless
investigations, is to use the messages to understand the mailers (those
who broadcast such memesets, those who speak them on the
broadcasts, and those who pay to have them beamed into middle
eastern homes). Not only are what I presented examples of virulent
and noxious memeplexes, they are also examples of them being
propagated to Muslim masses via broadcast media, and furthermore,
being held up as shining sterling examples of Muslim piety to be
emulated by the receivers, and taught to the receivers' own children.
We need to understand that this broadcast phenomenon, and its
doppelganger in the Muslim print media, is as much a cause of the
virulent nature of the Radical Islamicist memeplex as it is a reflection of
it.
