A Republic only works if the people MAKE it work. And they can only MAKE it work if they are informed and intelligent.

The left knows this of course, which is why he mainstream media dumbs down its facts. Its also why I only watch FOX News on TV.

“Islam is not a race.”

You are right, and this video explains very well the goals of the Islamic terrorists. Everyone should see this:

“Is it the first amendment rights or the fact that what he’s saying is the truth which bothers them?”

Both, I am sure! But hopefully, the truth about the enemy of freedom will be spread far and wide! And another Freeper was right on when he said CAIR is the Terrorist's ACORN!

OK. Right after CAIR admits that they and the other Muslims are at war with the United States.

“The simple fact is, that while not every Muslim is a violent terrorist, Islam encourages and condones this activity through its Prophet, their teachings, their “holy books” and their entire history.

If you tell people there is a group of people who:
think dogs are “unclean”; dancing and music are evil; treats women like chattels; destroys historic works of art as a religious imperative; believe apostates from their groups should be killed; think anyone who tries to convert them should be killed; approves of killing people who insult them or their prophet or holy books; approves of public decapitations, stonings, removal of various bodily parts as punishments for “religious” offenses; supports a theocracy centered around their belief system; thinks slavery is acceptable; believes in oppressing people who don't follow their religion; and thinks it is their responsibility to spread this system throughout the world, MOST people would rightly term it a CULT, NOT a RELIGION.

The simple fact is Islam has ALWAYS spawned different fanatic movements due to the very nature of what it teaches.

More human beings have been killed or enslaved through the agency of Islam than any other movement in history. In its entire 1500 or so of existence, it has not changed or ameliorated one bit. It still oppresses those who do not follow its belief system and is still trying to conquer the world.”

Thank you for your post above! The truth must be spread far and wide, and the following videos are a must see. I hope EVERYONE takes the time to view the following:

For my money, "Islamophobia" is just another way of saying common sense.

Islamophobia, homophobia -- leftists throw the "phobia" name around like there's something wrong with being afraid of ideologies that would harm your nation and your children. /sarc

Sounds like a great idea to me! I just am not computer savvy enough to even post pictures, much less make a cartoon! But we sure do have greatly talented Freepers who could make the best of cartoons, even ones with action! :)

Ed REndell, Joe Sestak and multiple Pols have taken money from CAIR.

And they are shameless about it.

From the Washington Monthly (like this guy does NOT understand what DAn is saying!

http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2010_05/023668.php

May 5, 2010
‘DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A TERRORIST?’.... If you missed it, this campaign ad from Republican Dan Fanelli, hoping to take on Rep. Alan Grayson (D) in Florida this year, is one of the more startling commercials of the year so far.

If you can’t watch clips from your work computer, the spot shows Fanelli standing next to a white guy. Looking into the camera, the Republican asks, “Does this look like a terrorist?” He then stands next to a big, darker guy and ads, “Or this”? Fanelli concludes that if someone who looked like him “was flying airplanes into the Twin Towers, I’d have no problem being pulled out of line at the airport.”

It is, in other words, a campaign ad for a congressional candidate who wants to go to Washington to fight in support of racial profiling. That’s not just some random position he articulated in a questionnaire; this is Fanelli’s platform.

The first thing that jumped out at me about this ad? Fanelli argues that people who look like him — middle-aged, balding white guy — don’t fly airplanes into buildings, and therefore shouldn’t have to endure security screenings at airports. That’s idiotic on its face, but it’s especially disconnected to reality now — did the Republican not hear about the middle-aged, balding white guy, who looks quite a bit like Fanelli, who recently flew an airplane into a building?

For that matter, I can only hope someone would show Fanelli a picture of Timothy McVeigh and ask, “Does this look like a terrorist?”

As for the substance, this guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Adam Serwer explained, “[R]acial profiling isn’t any more effective than random screening. So rather than making anyone safer, you’re just alienating the communities a former CIA analyst and chief of intelligence analysis for the Department of Homeland Security under the Bush administration has said are themselves ‘the only way’ to really counter domestic radicalization.”

I can’t say whether Fanelli has a chance at winning his race and joining the House Republican caucus, but he’s certainly has a chance at winning an award for creating one of the year’s most offensive ads.

I sure would like to see the list of ALL Politicians who have taken money from CAIR! Their names certainly need to be made public in a big way!

I love the fact that Dan Fanelli has NO qualms pointing out the TRUTH about who the enemy is! And I know Dan will keep on telling the truth! And he will tell the truth about Health Care Reform problems facing us too!

Poor Mr.Benen of the Washington Monthly! He must go along with all the Socialist Media's statements saying Dan Fanelli’s ads are offensive and of course, accuse Dan of being racist.

The Washington Post also had to followed the same line:

You betcha!

I would love to see CAIR fully exposed for what they are and anyone associated with them be made known!

We had CAIR attempt to trash Michael Savage, and now they expect a rebuttal from the GOP over Dan Fanelli’s ads!

Islamic terrorists are our enemy. Same, same, CAIR!

I have not seen these ads so I can't really comment on them directly.

You can find them at the link. They're losers. I doubt a successful pro-profiling could be created, but that's not what these are about. Just the candidate putting a headlock on a Muslim looking guy. The GOP shouldn't be involved, there's nothing overtly bigoted about the ad, but it's rather stupid. If it appeals to the voters in his district, well, so be it.
