I think your main point - that selective application of rationality could be dangerous - is true. But the question then is how often is it dangerous? And in what way should we apply rationality? Should we not apply rationality because it could be dangerous? I think the article would have been much better if these questions were brought up, and addressed.
I get the sense that applying rationality is usually more good than bad. Although I don't really know enough about radical religions to say if it's true for them too.
