Are bloggers against hate, or feeding it?
St Petersburg Times ^ | Jan 16, 2006 | S.I. Rosenbaum

Posted on 01/16/2006 4:17:34 PM PST by Presbyterian Reporter

Blogs dedicated to protecting America against terrorism are troubling the Muslim community. Kaufman's site is only one of a constellation of blogs with names like JihadWatch.com, MilitantIslamMonitor.org, and WesternResistance.com that are dedicated to the surveillance of American Muslims. The blogs link to one another, with more-traveled sites amplifying stories from more obscure ones, like Kaufman's. Last month, after Kaufman called a Tampa Muslim religious retreat a "jihad camp for children" and wrote that the speakers were "linked to al-Qaida," death threats poured in to the Presbyterian camp hosting the event. Muslims say the blogs breed hate. "He's spreading lies, slandering individuals," said Ahmed Bedier, spokesman for the Tampa Bay chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "These are vigilantes."

Feeding hate against liberals, communists, terrorists, tyrants, bigots, racists, and anti-socials everywhere, proudly.

After reading the book Infiltration by Paul Sperry, I find it difficult to believe that anything those blogs are doing is spreading hate. Spreading the truth, more like it.

Leave it to the pinheads in the MSM. They still don't "get it." Hate? It's the bloggers who point it out. Especially the hate coming from the Liberal MSM.

This bears repeating. Moderate Muslims are those who advocate that others kill in the name of Allah. Extremist Muslims are those who do the killing.

There is such a thing as just hate, like "just war".

What's wrong with a little hate? I'm not ashamed to say it, I hate terrorists - I'd kill them if I could to prevent innocent deaths. It's all a matter of what you hate, and how...

Yes, my tagline is a real-life example of exactly what you say. Religion of peace and tolerance, huh?

If the statements are libellous, bring a libel suit. Let the court decide.

I think Oscar Wilde tried that...

What sect of society is free of hate?

Only a simpleton would feign outrage at finding it anywhere.
To not find it somewhere would truly be newsworthy.

Don't know where this article is going but I do know that this egregiously misleading premise shows such a poverty of knowlege about islam that I need to read no further.

Going to the sources, the imams, the ayatollahs, the spittle-covered representatives of this sad excuse for culture, and the are unanimous in their continuing belief that there are only two worlds, the world of islam, Dar al Islam and the world of war, Dar al Harb.
There is no concept of "country" or "patriotism" in islam. No separation of the military and the "religious".
They mean to kill us. They keep repeating it.

The enemy is islam. Not American muslims.

There is no such thing, if they are truly muslims.
Unless and until they explain that contradiction, they are all my enemies.

Do I embrace hate? You bet. If the insist on telling me daily that they mean to kill me.
