New A swing and a miss...
No, the point of the writer was his incredulity that one should ask a Muslim to pray for the souls of Americans that were killed by the attack. After all, this implication goes, Muslims killed these Americans, so why would any of them be in the slightest bit interested in praying for these satanic infidels?

Appeasment my ass. This article had nothing to do with appeasment (which, BTW, I agree always backfires). This had to do with the writer's righteous indignation at the Resident suggesting that rank-and-file Muslims might actually be as shocked, upset, saddened, and angry as he (the writer), and the rest of the non-Muslim world, was.

Inthane was (as pwhysall might say) spot-on.

Today’s program has been sponsored by the physical act of gulping. For thousands of years, gulping has been there for human beings when they needed an expressive gesture of the throat. Whether you want to indicate nervousness about an upcoming test or appointment, fear of the Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives in Your Home, or you just want to ingest milk faster than with regular swallowing, gulping is the way to go! Forget sweating, never mind shivering! Sneezing? Ugh! When you think physical actions, think gulping! Gulp now and receive a complimentary prize package, which will be conveniently buried in an unmarked spot somewhere in the Scrublands. Find it, and it’s yours!
