respected Michel

There are things which are so dangerous that it is better not to be satirical about them. And islamism is one such danger. Satire can confuse the less intelligent and that can have dangerous consequences. Use plain unambiguous language in a forum of this importance. I don't think Dr. Pipes started this forum for people to joke about. Respect his wish. Or start your own forum.

Muslims'... intelligence is because of their islamic indoctrination and intimidation - nothing genetic about it. I do not think of muslims as untermenschen. I think of them as my brothers and sisters (especially the women) who are under the boot of a fascist totalitarian idelogy and have to be givem every help to escape it safely.

Occasionally we have to treat muslims the way the muslims treat ex-muslims. That is fair, just and pedagogically correct and necessary.

My post was not a joke. Please be respectful. You won't like being reduced to a wit-figure either.
