what is "the job" then?
i would be interested in seeing how you could read ustwo's posts in particular and argue that what is being adovated is not some kind of "war on islam" cloaked as "war on muslim extremists" which you do not and cannot define--particularly not in this context.
i see maybe little other than "common sense" as well, but i doubt we have the same relation to the term.
caveat: this is getting into an area of great sensivity at my end---it does not please me at all to see how easy it seems to be becoming to elaborate waht i view here and have veiwed as basically racist arguments with the figleaf of pseudo-precision brought into the mix by the term "extremism"--if you are seriously going to link what is going on in holland to this category, then you would need to make the argument and not simply revert to the category. which would mean that the burden of argument rests on you. so please, make the argument: even by trying maybe i can see this as a different kind of conversation.
