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.
