Well, I just did. And now maybe you can answer mine, Vicki:

In a Mosque, I might add. Is this anti-Arabist? -SV
I'd say it was anti-Moslem, primarily.
"He did it too" is no defense. I have never defended, and will never defend, Baruch Goldstein.
I will ask you this: are you an anti-Jewish racist? Yes or no? You've pointed out that the false accusation of racism is a serious matter. You've also carefully avoided denying that you are a racist of this particular type.
That the accusation of racism can be made falsely does not excuse racism or mean that there is no such thing. A malicious person could falsely accuse me of murder. That doesn't mean that murder has never happened.
