What I said is accurate. I realize it doesn't conform to the simple, two-color scheme that our political ideologues like to paint with, but it's accurate. I don't see what we gain from reducing a complex picture to a cartoon, and trying to beat people into accepting it with these predictable, kneejerk, not-so-veiled accusations of bigotry.

By the way, the SPLC lost it's credibility when it labelled Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Maajid Nawaz 'anti-Muslim extremists'.
