I don't think anyone would suggest that we alter the way we express ourselves to pander to fundamentalists who are just looking for any old reason to hate us. Unless the fundamentalists are christian, in which case some might be pro-pandering, but that's a whole other issue entirely.
We are continuing to bait the vicious dog and we are armed to the teeth. Our problem though is that until 9/11 we were more concerned with the dog than with its fleas.
