An(other) unwarranted attack.

13. Nice post.

Perhaps the most tragic thing about it is how easy it is for those extremist hiding as you say is the damage it does to the overall reputation of the group they are hiding in --sort of like militants hiding among the general population as they fire missiles or whatever. They invite attack and make their own in-group look worse.

The only thing that can be done is for such groups to ostracize that kind of extremist when they spot them, I guess.
