'The truth is, all faiths have a lunatic fringe'
Joe Fitzgerald (no relation) parks one re the Fort Hood/Muslims question:
P.S. – Sorry, Tarek Mehanna supporters. No sympathy for anyone who even amateurishly dabbles in terrorism. ... Here’s the Free Tarek web site. Here’s the federal indictment. The arrest is nowhere near a close call.

The truth is, all faiths have a lunatic fringe.The solution is to bore in on isolated individuals exhibiting and expressing extreme views, sweeping aside extreme PC concerns. It’s not as easy as denouncing an entire segment of society or pointing fingers to score political points. But it’s got to be done. Adam R addresses this unglamorous but necessary approach.
Yet if we don’t hate all Baptists, all Jews, all Catholics, all evangelicals, understanding that they all include mad men in their midsts, how does hating all Muslims make any more sense?
