Full correct title: The New York Times Laments "A Sadly Wary Misunderstanding of Muslim-Americans." But Really Is It "Sadly Wary" Or A "Misunderstanding" At All?

I can imagine the worldwide eruption if a writer for National Review questioned First Amendment protections for Muslims. This has been out several days and I just stumbled upon it. Hadn't heard a peep.

From the article: So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.

The time to wonder (and pretend) has long since passed. All anyone in this country has to do is open their eyes and ears and observe the results of allowing this so-called "religion" to spread in Western Civilization over the centuries. (Yes, they have had the same clearly stated goals for centuries and have not been the least bit coy about what they are.) For an up to date perspective, one only needs to see the recent and rapidly intensifying destruction of societies and civilization in Europe as a direct result of allowing this EVIL to take root (and to offer it PC (suicidal) protections as a sign of their societal "enlightenment.")

Anyone that wants to understand what has happened in Europe and is now happening here in this country should take the time to read: Lee Harris, The Suicide of Reason: Radical Islam's Threat to the Enlightenment.

From Harris: "The West can only think of fanaticism as a social pathology, a failure to modernize, rather than as what it is: a variety of social order that is not only fully viable in the modern world but also willing to use weapons to which the West is uniquely vulnerable. A governing philosophy based on reason, tolerance, and consensus cannot defend itself against a strategy of ruthless violence without being radically transformed--or destroyed."

Can a believing Muslim be a loyal american?

[Eye of Unk]

2010, the year of the Islamic Cold War.

The grassroots of America declares a Cold war against Islam.

Political leaders are unwilling to come to the defense of the Constitution and America condemns the weak leadership with a divided loyalty.

The supporters of Islam and those that fear of the backlash work diligently and feverishly to stop internet chatter towards an organized event of Koran burning upon the anniversary of 9/11.

This is what we are right now.

I don’t believe sedition is protected by the First Amendment.

And I fully concur on your National Review comment.

[MrB]

I suggest that this is largely the case because Americans are so fearful of being accused of bias.

Time to get over being fearful and tell the truth, no matter whom it offends.
