Is this a Serious Argument?

I read your post and I am amazed that you can make such a serious argument in defense of Islamism and Jihadists. You are so concerned with defending Islam and pointing out ridiculous comparisons that you neglect to acknowledge the issue that is being discussed- the millions of fanatics who are giving your religion a bad name. If only you people would recognize and deal with this very real problem, you would have so much more credibility in your argument. You cannot just ignore the giant elephant in the living room and pretend you can argue apples to apples without acknowledging the rotten ones.
