Yes, I immagine that from an anti-open perspective it does sound like that.
Good thing that you don't actually need to be particularly pro-open to see that they have a point. No closed software can be considered secure, ever; no steps to assure more security "regardless of promises or even intent" can change that.

So, following your logic, because it's 2013 it is "culturally aware" to associate Islam with terrorism?
Yes, that is discrimination/racism. I'm not throwing terms around.

Which makes me wonder, what's their level of clearance?

The list wouldn't be complete without "Allah", would it?
It really shows the level of your discrimination and/or racism.

Too "inside" to be actually funny.
