Not my fight, but no. What I saw was:

[Hank's joke]
[Atticus taking offense]
[Hank's explanation for premise of joke]
[Atticus explaining that the premise was simply wrong]
[You making fun of Atticus' "jumping in to protect" Islam[ist] countries, and in doing so also get something wrong -- because Atticus was pointing to school education, not madrassas.]

Waving your hands and saying that what you really meant is to poke fun at something that Atticus didn't really do in this case, but closely enough resembles what you think he often does, is fine, I suppose, as far as that goes.

But episodes like this should help you understand why people get annoyed when you whale away at slights, positions, and arguments that weren't even made.

Fuck that. Prove a Kennedy didn't drown that poor woman.
