Should the Extropians, as an organization, contact these folks?
This is a cross between the friendship-as-patriotism meme at
the physical level and a broader attempt to avoid demonizing
Islam as a whole for the acts of its extremists. We may decide
that Extropy is not quite the appropriate organization for this,
since Mike says these folks are in the "somewhat" category. Perhaps
those of us who are also members of more conventional groups
should work through those groups instead. (I'm a non-joiner,
so I don't qualify.)
