No no, you're getting confused. I'm not addressing the content of your argument, I'm attacking your methodology. Henry Ford wrote of the "International Jew", as seperate from "Good" Jews (quoty marks mine) who either kept to their little ghettos or assimilated and were as un-jew-riffic as possible. However his idea of the International Jew is so abstract and paranoiac, that there's really no way to distinguish in his argument how to tell a "Good" Jew from an "International Jew" pretending to be a "Good" Jew.
In your argument you've said you're not speaking of all Muslims, but your ill-named concept of the Islamofacist* means that any person of the Islamic fatih COULD be a secret jihadi.
Here's the problem with Islamofacism as a conceptual term: Islamofacism is a term WE created as a blanket. You can't talk about them the same way you talk about the Nazis for instance. There is o Islamofacist party. Abdul Al-Hazred did not pen the Islamofacist Manifesto after being imprisoned following the Pita Pit Putsch. You can call anybody you like an Islamofacist and there's nothing anyone can do to refute your assertation.
*Which I'm not blaming you for, you didn't invent the term.
