    inflict severe punishment on
    You'd think that sordid history would make us wary of entreatments to blindly castigate our fellow Americans.
  2. demagogue
    a leader who seeks support by appealing to popular passions
    After all, unlike other purely fictional problems, the Sharia ``issue'' allows a demagogue to exploit a tender spot in the American psyche: Our growing fear of all things Muslim.
  3. explicitly
    in a clearly expressed manner
    To his credit, President George W. Bush explicitly rejected the reflexive fear of all things Muslim in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
