That is a phenomenal misinterpretation of what I was saying.
Nobody said all Muslims are terrorists. The quoted paragraph, somewhere above, asserted the probability of a certain segment of Muslims being terrorists. That's what "the probability that a Middle-Eastern male between 18 and 23 is going to be a terrorist" means.
I am not constructing a model of the terrorist situation. I am constructing a model of the faulty thought process behind the analysis of the terrorist situation.
Edit: Ought to be "the faulty thought process behind an analysis of the terrorist situation."
