My summary... don't try to talk to anyone after you've decided that they are part of an extremist group. Just kill them.
I'm troubled by the implication that such a group of people is easily identified.
I'd say that there are at least five who are easy to so label.

It wouldn't shock me if they did - but so what? Everything about that video was a carefully crafted propaganda statement (one done by idiots, but idiots who might be saved by the Western media's belief that only images that piss off Americans are verboten, while those that anger the rest of the world _at_ Americans are just fine). _Of course_ they would claim that - it's the obvious move. The question is, though, do you believe them?
Actually, it doesn't matter a flying fig whether I believe them or not, or whether they believe themselves or not. The proper response is found above at the end of the fourth line from the top.
