Yes, they are getting a bad name and it will stick for a long time. This is nothing new for them. It might be different if Moslims and Arabs were aghast at the atrocities being committed in their name and by their cousins and brothers. But it doesn't appear they are aghast. They think time is on their side, but time is running out.
Dear RightWhale:
That is exactly what Dennis Prager, Niel Bortz, Ann Coulter, and Sean Hannity were saying during the Repub Convention this week. Too much of the Muslim world looks upon these people as "heroes" and not the butchering pigs that they are. I'd say 2/3 of the Muslim world sees these Nazis in turbans as "freedom fighters" avenging real and imagined past wrongs. Especially Arab Muslims think of themselves as victims of the Crusades, European imperialism, Zionist plots, etc. Just like a lot of minority groups in this country they see conspiracies and cabals being hatched against them and engage in one big collective pity party. Instead of trying to better themsevles and looking at their own shortcomings to see what the problem is, they lash out at their imagined oppressors. It really is pathological, just like the Nazis in the 1920s and 30s. That is why they are so dangerous and why we need Dubya in power for Four More Years.
