Well, I'm sure the point you're trying to make is a good one, but it doesn't make any sense to me, unless you're trying to say Swampy's demographic isn't any more likely to be a terrorist than my 90yr. old grandma. In that case it's an empirical question, not a logical one. kj.
I wasn't making any assertions about anyone, or any demographic. I was just trying to analyze whether the premises in the quoted argument supported the conclusion. That's all.
Philosophy is far more my thing than trying to make sweeping analyses of policy.
Especially on internet forums. :-)
