[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]all this ranting and pseudo-intellectual babble...the quotation and interpretation of any religious scripture is meaningless. take a look at what is actually happening around the world and who is involved.[/quote]

This is not bad strategy. I would only stress the importance of accuracy when describing "who is involved."  One could argue quite accurately that humans are involved in what is "actually happening." Similarly, it would be correct to say that what "is actually happening" exclusively involves mammals. However, being more specific can increase understanding. Many will lazily turn to "Arab" or "Muslim" as adjectives. However, those groups are so broad and heterogeneous as to be only marginally better than "human" and "mammal."  Because such laziness stretches to most of our media, the average person may be ill-equipped to be more specific. However, that is a problem that needs to be addressed rather than an excuse to continue being misleading.
