Haven’t reached the tipping point yet for earnest defense/offense. This will only happen when enough liberals have been murdered.

We’re going have to kill enough of them to cower the others into submission.

Kind of a reverse muzzieism.

I'd go one step further than McCarthy and suggest that the biggest danger we face isn't "Islamism," either.

The core of the problem is that these western countries are filled with stunted misfits who have no place in a free society because they can't abide by the simple standards of human conduct that are needed for a free society to function.

Radical Muslims are only the most recent group of these misfits that have polluted our society. They come in the aftermath of the destruction that has already been caused by their predecessors over a period of decades: radical feminists, communists, environmentalists, sexual deviants, and all the rest who have done far more damage than Islam -- under the guise of their radical ideology and cultural/legal totalitarian rule.

This is going to sound harsh, but when a radical Muslim goes on a shooting spree in a gay nightclub in Orlando, a lot of normal, decent people probably spent days and weeks trying to figure out if there was even a downside to the incident.

The problem is politicians who are actively welcoming m*slims into the country and arresting citizens who complain about the resultant murders.

If you are a Muslim who wants British law supplanted by Islamic law, that is not a moderate position, even if you’re not prepared to drive a van into a crowd of infidels over it. If that’s where you’re coming from, you are a Muslim extremist — an Islamist.

McCarthy is saying there's no useful linguistic distinction between those who want to achieve ther goals peacefully and those who resort to terrorism.

That doesn't make any sense.

Islam, when worshiping Satan just isn’t evil enough.

The way I read that is that he’s not saying their isn’t a difference. He’s just saying that they are both islamists in that they have the same ultimate goal...sharia and muslim domination.

Satan = the father of lies (taqqiya anyone), a murderer from the start (murderous blood lust is the hallmark of Islam).

And he's also saying there's no descriptive difference between those who approach that goal peacefully and terrorists.

He's explicitly saying there are no gradations among Islamists.

He knows better but he's playing shock jock.

True! And shows up for communion when she should have already been excommunicated... point taken.
