Your comments are far more instructive about you than they are pertinent to the article. As you claim to be Jewish your comments are especially shocking. It is not paranoia on my part to discuss a political philosophy that is absolutist, violent, misogynist, and  deeply anti-Jewish. There is nothing racist in discussing an ideology that is antithetical to democracy and our culture. Your unfamiliarity with the subject is obvious but not surprising however your inability to learn anything from the article is. My comments are not directed towards muslims as a race but only to adherents of a political belief system who goal is the destruction of the country and of violent expansion that will result in war and slavery or worse for those who do not convert. Expansionist Islam is a threat to all non-Islamic societies. Read Andrew Bostom's The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism. The facts on this matter and the lengthy list of Islamist terror attacks and the ongoing radicalization of the Islamic world supports my comments and conclusions, not yours. You are the worst kind of &lt;em&gt;dhimmi&lt;/em&gt;. You support those who would destroy your society, your religion, your country, and you personally (as you claim to be Jewish) if given the opportunity. Jihad is a specific religious obligation of all Muslims. It is in the Koran, a book you know nothing about. You speak strongly and harshly under a pseudonym and criticize with loaded language suggesting that I am akin to Hitler because I write about Islamism and the danger that it presents to the entire world. You are the extremist, not I. I have the courage of my convictions to post content under my own name on my own blog, posting insults here shows quite the opposite about you. You know nothing on this subject and somehow think it alright to hysterically attack those who do. You won't learn, you cannot process information nor apparently follow a cogent argument. The fundamental issue about the threat of Islamism is not debatable. Your suggestion that it is, and that anyone who takes a position opposing it is a racist puts you in the terrorist camp and in the camp of the dhimmi.  "So today, a dhimmi is a kafir (non-Muslim) who goes along with Islam and even defends Islam. Examples of dhimmitude are ministers and rabbis who attend multicultural meetings with imams and say they worship the same god. A dhimmi never reads any of Islam’s source texts. When schools fail to teach the history of 270,000,000 killed in jihad, the school is practicing dhimmitude." &lt;ul&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/the-dhimmi/" rel="nofollow"&gt;Educate yourself.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;

		<description>What a shame that Kagan does not share your small-minded race hatred.  

Do you know even one Muslim closely?  Have you tested any of your ridiculous assumptions against a living human being?  Have you even talked to one Israeli about this?

You, sir, are paranoid, and you justify your racism with false rationality.

Every single thing that you say against Muslims was once said against us Jews.  You should re-name your website Books, Films, Music and Mein Kampf.</description>
