The chance of being killed in a terrorist attack, he said, is 1 in 80,000 over a lifetime.

...and the chances of a Muslim-American being killed as a result of islamophobia are considerably less than that.

In fact, Muslim-Americans being killed by Muslims is the problem he should actually be speaking about. Islamic terrorists are an Islamic problem. If Muslims would take care of their own internal problems, we wouldn't have to take care of it for them.

The President couldn't do much more to coddle these losers without declaring Islam the state religion: Enough.

The American people are sick and tired of having the adherents of a medieval death cult lecture us about the policies of the most open, most free, most tolerant nation the world has ever known. If you want to live in the dark ages: Move to the tribal areas of Pakistan. We're Not interested here.

CAIR is as “American” as female circumcision. If there are patriotic Muslim’s who want to reform their “religion” then they should stop letting these thugs speak in their name. I’m not holding my breath.

Isn’t a “phobia” defined as an

UNREASONABLE

fear of something?

What’s unreasonable about being suspicious of Islam?

No, no!

The muslims abhor violence, I mean, CAIR launched an online petition back in May 2004 called “Not in the Name of Islam” so that Muslims worldwide could rise up in one voice to denounce terrorism..

Just go to http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/signed.cgi?15103374 and see the massive response over the past three years from the billions of Muslims across the globe..

No, no, no. GW thinks they are the religion of peace. Don’t even give him any credit for stirring the post against islam. The american people are waking up slowly to their singleminded lying cult. The battle cry should have been and should be death to islam.

This is the thanks the White House gets for bending over backwards to be “nice” to these people, and, yes, pandering to them. Muslims out of U.S. now, with CAIR’s members the first to go.

And at the very end: "Only a reporter for The Washington Times was asked to leave the room yesterday. After she was escorted out, the doors to the room, which had remained open, were closed.

Mr. Keene said that CAIR has attacked as "anti-Muslim" a number of publications, including The Washington Times, the Dallas Morning News, the Tampa Tribune, the New Republic magazine, U.S. News & World Report, and the Weekly Reader, a popular newspaper for schoolchildren.

"My hope and belief was that this event was going to be an open discussion," he said in a brief interview after the symposium. "It was what I said in my speech. You don't restrict access because someone disagrees with you."

Mr. Keene had better watch his back.

Exactly right... this sob is sympathetic to the terrorists, and CAIR has been linked to funding terrorist groups.

Didn't the Administration put them on notice?

I’m getting tired of the liberal approach to adding the suffic “phobia” to everything. Phobia means - I believe - fear. What I have for islam (small i very much intended) is absolute disgust. May pig s**t be on the prophet and the horse he rode in on.

President Bush referring to Islam as the “Religion of Peace” sure won him a lot of Muslim friends, didn’t it? /s

A phobia is an irrational fear of something. Since near 100% of terrorism is carried out by muslims, and supported by far too many “moderate muslims,” I’d say our fear is completely rational.

It’s not a phobia when someone is actually trying to bomb you!
