Regardless of how the left tries to spin this I and millions of others know where the evil lies,islam...
islam is a culture of fear, oppression, torture and death. In Europe and the West we allow the media to use terms like radical islam and moderate islam. Those are bullcrap PC words.
There is only islam and its goal of destroying anyone and everything that stands in the way of a world islam rule..

This is an excellent article, but I have to take issue with one point he makes here:

Jewish suffering has been universalized into multicultural pablum that has nothing to do with Jews anymore.

The truth is, most of what we know of as "Jewish suffering" (at least in modern times) never should have had anything to do with Jews per se. The Holocaust itself, in fact, was "universalized" at Nuremburg when its leaders were tried for "crimes against humanity." In a historical context, what happened in Europe in the 1930s and 1940s was no different than what happened to millions of people all over the world during the course of the 20th Century.

What made the Holocaust any different than, say, Stalin's purges in the Ukraine in the 1930s, or the killing fields of Cambodia in the 1970s? For that matter, what made the Holocaust even a distinctly "Jewish" event in history? Millions of the people who were slaughtered by the Nazis -- maybe as many as half of them -- weren't even Jewish.

They are just folks who get ahead of their theology via the ideology of the Blank Slate Theory. The end times’ era of peace is not here, nor is acting like a eunuch going to expedite it.

As the debate has shifted to Muslim integration, Muslim happiness and how Muslims see the killings, the actual victims of the attack have receded into the distance, over that far horizon where dead Jews go until they are wanted by the champions of progress and enlightenment to make a point about tolerance. That is where the six million sleep, wakened to occasionally stir from the tomb and appear at a Holocaust museum or at a film showing whose message is that we must learn to be more tolerant. But somehow the only people we need to learn to be tolerant of are the people killing us.

A little over a year after 9/11, President George W. Bush stated that "Islam is a peaceful religion". Then the red carpet (prayer carpet?) was rolled out for the very people who attacked and killed on American soil. Muslim immigration to the U.S. was increased significantly under his watch, but not the accompanying integration that is supposed to occur. What on earth did he think this "tolerance" of a barbaric state religion was going to accomplish?

"Some of the comments that have been uttered about Islam do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others. Ours is a country based upon tolerance and we welcome people of all faiths in America."

Sounded so much like my own thinking that I had to stop reading before my head exploded in fury.
