Somewhere between offense and dictate is the neutrality/compromise zone. We don't have to appease neither Islamic fanatics nor Islamophobes in order to write a neutral article. All we have to do is show respect to believers and non-believers.
Don't equate neutrality and compromise - they are mutually exclusive. If you are compromising on anything, you are not being neutral.
I didn't want to equate them. (s///and/) If you are not compromising on anything, you can't be neutral either. We can only reach neutrality, if we are willing to show all POVs. And we will never achieve that goal, if we drive editors away, who want to give their views a fair share.
