But since Aisha brought up the completely unrelated Islam issue, I think he was perfectly right to post some statistics. And everynametakens ad hominem was a complete non-answer.
Aisha made a remark that I think is quite understandable coming from someone whose identity (or a part of that, anyway, obviously her identity is more complex than that) is constantly under fire and linked to horrible things that she herself doesn't support at all. She certainly didn't make any real comparison or statement about what proportion of terrorist attacks was committed by Muslims. ENT was quite right to point out that Dragonsoul's was a completely unhelpful and unclassy reply, and I don't see why making such a comment automatically forces him to go into detail to reply to DS. Which afterwards he did do, more fool him - it's a lost cause, not because DS is right, but because he's blind to any kind of nuance. I like him well enough as a person, but on some issues, debating a brick wall is more productive.
For choosing to follow a faith of which many of it's followers have committed atrocities against the West and it's people. To bring it up here, and in saying it in the manner she said it, she invited and opened the discussion to compare Islamic with non-Islamic terrorism.
And like I've said before, here and on wotmania, ad hominem attacks are never okay...unless of course when they're against me. They're always justified then.
