No, he isn’t; you’re making his point. And, yeah, its always best when confronted by naked aggression to role over and show your belly. Appeasement ALWAYS works.
Oh, and Islam IS a religion of peace, right? Why ruin a good story with facts?
I think Santayana had something to say about the lessons of history.
