No, I didn't. You stated that the woman who was being threatened with 
execution in the Sudan was "guilty" because what she did is a violation 
of Sudanese law (despite the fact that she didn't actually *do* 
anything-- the kids in her class did). The exact same thing could be 
said of the interned Jews in Germany-- they were guilty of violating 
German law, i.e., being Jewish. There's nothing either exaggerated or 
hyperbolic about that comment.

You just don't like the implications of your statements being so bluntly 
illustrated. It's a particular character trait of yours I've noticed 
over the course of many past discussions.

Now I'll grant that you stopped just shy of defending the Muslim 
reaction to this woman's "offense" by merely commenting on the 
legalities of the situation and saying nothing overtly positive or 
negative about it but one wonders what the point of making such a 
comment would be, if not to justify the treatment this woman received.
