Oh, that's right, you heard stories about bedbugs for a couple of weeks before hand in the snooze. They'd never participate in mass brainwashing propaganda though.

“The bottom line is this – if the Koran is burned, our troops will be in greater danger. It’s that simple…”
That remark came from a certain military officer (an officer who will remain unnamed here), during a special press briefing I attended regarding upcoming foreign troop deployments.
The news of a threatened “Koran burning ceremony” to be held in Florida was being widely reported at the time, and a journalist had asked the Officer for comment.
In response to the Officer’s comment, I followed up by asking “if Americans didn’t exercise their Second Amendment rights, would the troops be safer?”
“ With all due respect, I think you’re politicizing the matter, sir,” the Officer said to me, “and I have no further comment…”
It was appropriate that the Officer had “no further comment.” But I wasn’t politicizing anything. I was asking a very serious, sobering, and legitimate question, a question that all Americans should be asking in the face of the Obama Administration’s disposition towards Islamic Radicalism.
For the entire duration of his Presidency, Barack Obama has articulated a vision of “the Muslim Word,” as he calls it, and practitioners of the Muslim faith, that conveniently ignores what is frighteningly obvious to most Americans: that some of the most horrific and gruesome murders and terrorist acts on the planet these days are committed by people who call themselves Muslims, and claim to be following the edicts of the Koran.
President Obama set this pattern of denial in motion back in June of 2009, when he made good on his campaign promise of delivering a speech in the capitol city of a predominantly Muslim nation.
Speaking at Cairo University in that month, the President said, in part, “I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles — principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings…”
Five months after that speech, the United States sustained what previously may have been unthinkable – a terrorist attack at an Army base in Texas, all at the hands of an Army Major who was – yes, you guessed it – a Muslim. Major Nidal Hasan, a Medical Doctor in the U.S. Army, shot and killed 13 other Army soldiers and wounded 30 other people. He claimed that he was operating in allegiance to the Koran, and his Muslim faith.
As President Obama spoke at the Memorial Service for the dead soldiers, he referred to the murders as “craven acts,” and insisted that “no just and loving God looks upon then with favor.” But how are we to take these remarks?
Was President Obama insinuating that the “God” of Islam is not “just” and not “loving?” This proposition is doubtful. More likely, the President’s remarks were intended to suggest that Mr. Hasan wasn’t really behaving as a “real Muslim” would, so, therefore, these “craven acts” were no indictment on Islam.
But since the massacre at Fort Hood, we have sustained two other terrorist attacks on American soil – the “underwear bomber” case on Christmas Day last year, and the effort to blow up Times Square in Manhattan last Spring. Both of these incidents were terrorist attacks (despite Homeland Security Secretary Janet Naplitano’s claim that “The system worked” last December – it did not), attacks that were both fortunately thwarted before they could be carried out to full fruition.
All three of these acts were carried-out by people who called themselves Muslims. And if these terrorists each called themselves a “Muslim,” who am I – and who is Barack Obama – to insist that they are not?
President Obama’s timid stance with “the Muslim World” stands in stark contrast to this undeniable reality: In America, we are a very diverse bunch, but we generally get along with each other pretty well.
We are Christians and Jews and Secularists. We are theologically conservative Protestants and Catholics and Jews, and we are theologically liberal Protestants and Catholics and Jews. We are Atheists and Buddhists and Mormons and Bahai’s and completely irreligious. “Church” and “synagogue” and “temple” happen every weekend in America, as do sporting events and naps and work and play. As Americans we go about these activities according to our own wishes, being disagreeable with each other at times, yes, but still living together and getting along.
But then, there is this one particular group in America and around the world that can’t seem to play by America’s “we all get along” terms. According to our President, our lives are jeopardized if we so much as state the obvious about this group.
If our President continues with his denial of the obvious, he will continue to alienate America, and weaken our nation abroad.
Outstanding article.

What silly nonsense.. The enemy already hates us and has beenn trying to kill us and destroy our Nation for many years now. The very book that this idiot spoke of is the instruction manual for them to hate and kill us... We are lead by MORONS....
I do not agree that this goober moosie loving marxist is making America less strong.
I see Everywhere I go that America is politically energized like I’ve NEVER seen before.
We will rise up come November and as the Rock would say lay a smackdown on this ,”magic negro” and his marxism.
F all them "moderates" of "the Religion of peace".
A moderate muslim is an oxymoron. I don't believe they even exist.
I say burn every koran we can get our hands on and smoke out all these so called moderates. Then lock and load and lets get this thing over with.
This country loses resolve too quick without a constant reminder that the enemy is all around us. And to make it even more confusing, people actually believe this religion of peace crap, even though it's written in black and white in that fish wrap they call a koran that muslims are expected to lie to infidels.
People, especially liberals, are willfully ignorant.
“Hand over your freedoms. Do as you’re told and nobody gets hurt.” The essence of dhimmitude. Surrender without even a fight, never mind a defeat, surrender and live on your knees. You don’t want to be accused of racism, or intolerance or — oh the horror! — politicizing.
Anyone advocating dhimmitude ought to be cut from the payroll if not also the voting roll, before we get to the stage of the drum roll and head roll.
Oh, that's right, you heard stories about bedbugs for a couple of weeks before hand in the snooze. They'd never participate in mass brainwashing propaganda though.
“what’s the next thing we won’t be able to do because they’ll act like savages?”
Probably filling the streets with “praying” muzzies that obstruct traffic and prohibit true residents from coming or going. Not to mention raping any women they see because they are not up to islamist modesty standards. Just ask France. And the police will be told to stand down and not interfere with sharia.
OK! I suffer from Islamophobia. I also suffer from Grizz;y Bearophobia, tigeropuobia, Tigersharkophobia, & etc, for yhe sane reacon. They all want to KILL me.
With all due respect,sir... the only thing I could add is
I admire someone who can say what needs be said when it needs to be heard even if the other side takes the dodge and runs
with I think you’re politicizing the issue...”T’anks
News Flash - OUR TROOPS IN THE MIDDLE EAST ARE ALWAYS IN DANGER! Some attention whore “pastor” in Florida making a HUGE production about burning the koran isn’t going to heighten that danger. It’s only going to be another excuse for it.
smell the tea?
one lump or two?
To all you lunk heads who believe BeeHoe is a closet muzzie, well, you stupid, ignorant, hate filled red-necks, he showed you today!
He grabbed up the wife and kids and took a hike over to the chapel in the park across the street!!!
So THERE, buttheads.
He even WALKED there so the cameras couldn’t mistake that he was actually going to CHURCH!
Ditto.
Every time I see or hear the name Obama it brings to mind the word impeachment.
For real?
