No, I do not need more conscience.  What I do need however, are
readers who will read slowly each word and sententence in order.  Then
study them within the context of the paragraph and message.  If such
were done instead of skimming and letting their minds paste
preconceived notions of their own over my words no misunderstanding
would exist.  It would be glaringly clear that I have never condemned
all Muslims, and that those things I described and suggested are
things that I believe are felt by some about them. It is some Muslims
who are the ones exasperated because of others reations to them. I
then I added what I thought might help that problem.  I would have
told any Bubba the same thing had he whined about having those
problems in Italy or Egypt.

Of course as UUNET is famous for veering completely away fromthe
original the issue after only one layer of responses. 

Where I did lay a more general blanket upon Muslims was in the
seemingly tacit approval of terrorists by many Muslim nations.
Nations are made up of their peoples, so in that instance, yes I was
referring to Muslims in general in those countries.  I do not deny
that, and I will not withdraw the charge until concrete proof of the
opposite is shown.

One last point I tried to make clear, but which was almost universally
ignored is that I address all comments and suggestions and conclusions
leading to what I say to one specific instant of time.  

Everything I say on this issue refers from the minute of the first
tower being hit.  Things, have changed. Some are now irrelevent to
events.  Anything done prior to that act has assumed a different
relevance than that which it had before.
