I'm not sure, but I know that if I could find out from the site, so could
Islamofascist terrorists. I AM sure that their translations are accurate; if
they weren't, the complainers would flock topoint out their inaccuracies
instead of being forced to resort to the diaphanous ad hominem smear
of "anti".

Actually, my views are informed by the words and actions of those
whom I hold those views about. I have been open-minded enough to
take their words and actions at face value; something you seem to have
a major problem doing. If you wanna read about deep blind hatred and
closed-mindedness from the epitomes of these vices' own mouths, you
should read further into the MEMRI site. And I see damned little doubt
in you; so little that you don't even wanna see what these memebots
themselves have to say about their own bigotrous religio-political
hatreds. Of course, the last rhetorical refuge of an extremist on one
pole is to call all dissenters extremists on the other pole. In other
words, your definition of a bigot seems to be all those who do not share
your own bigotries.

My sources are impeccable; you cannot succeed in impugning them,
however much you try. You just can't handle the truth, even when told
by those we are discussing, as it contradicts your emotion-invested
fantasy construct on the matter. You don't like the horse's mouth?
Tough turds; it says what it says.

This sounds like you on this issue. I furnish evidence and references;
you groundlessly and unsupportedly bloviate, fulminater and attack.

You are becoming as beyond the pale on this issue as Ted dace is on
Sheldrakean morphic resonance. Unable to counter the examples I
present, all you have left is smear and invective - and you do not
hesitate for a New York second to resort to it.
