The problem with what you’re saying, Mr Eugenides, is that you’re accepting the Muslim idea, radical or otherwise, that the Motoons are the equivalent of punching ordinary Muslims in the street. It’s that idea that must be fought. You’ve lost half the battle once you accept that premise.
Also you say we shouldn’t go out of our way to offend and that we should just go about our day-to-day business. But of course there are plenty of Westerners whose day-to-day business is to go out of their way to offend people. They’re applauded or derided based on who they’re offending this week. But should they take a hands-off approach to Mohammed? Absolutely not!
