Howard Dean: Don't Call Paris Shooters 'Muslim Terrorists'

Howard Dean—that celebrated scholar of Islam—has weighed in on today's murderous rampage in Paris and declared that he refuses to call the shooters in this and similar cases "Muslim terrorists."

According to Dean, the disregard for the lives of others that these terrorists display "is not what the Koran says." Dean's denial of the obvious puts him in the company of many liberals, most notably including President Obama, who after the beheading of James Foley declared that ISIS "speaks for no religion."

Only Tea Party members are terrorists, along with those pesky veterans who are capable of terrible violence.

Rummyfan.... Howard Dean may look like an idiot. He may talk like an idiot. But... HE REALLY IS AN IDIOT!

[ThunderSleeps]

When I want Howard Dean’s opinion on ANYTHING...

...I'll have my head examined! :-)

[Raggedy Granny]

Howard Dean is a fool and that offends me greatly.

They are Muslims.

They are terrorists.

Therefore, they are Muslim terrorists.

If Muslims want to make the case that not all Muslims are terrorists, they’re welcome to do so. (Or, for that matter, terrorists can try to make the case that not all terrorists are Muslim.) But these particular terrorists are Muslims, and it is wrong to say otherwise.

[tnlibertarian]

Well, he's right.

We should just call them muslims. The rest is redundant.

“Thank God this idiot never made it to the White House.”

Maybe. But someone with a similar spirit did.

This is the same dope who routinely calls the Tea Party “extremists” who use terror tactics and “take hostages.” I guess conservatives are the only ones who can be terrorists in his book.

[fatnotlazy]

To think Dean once ran for president...and maybe has intentions of doing so again.

Sadly,there are those who would vote for him.

[Obadiah]

I simply do not understand the love these counter-culture freaks, like Dean, have for these murdering thugs. The evidence is right before their eyes and yet Dean and the left defend these actions. Dean is a sick, sick person, along with the rest of the American left.

[stockpirate]

Well if they were Baptists he would have told us for sure.

[GreyFriar]

Using his same train of thought, let’s no longer call cancer cancer, but call it ‘severe cold’ and treat it like a severe cold. Would he do that to one of his patients?

[Farmer Dean]

Who awoke that little woodchuck of a man and propped him up in front of a camera?He should have been left in hibernation until spring.

[defconw]

You know it!

[fuzzylogic]

ok, let’s take a wild guess at another description.

They’re fighters from the ISLAMIC STATE that came home.

Cartoonists were killed for insulting ISLAM.

All done after the EXAMPLE of MUHAMMED.

Moron.

According to Dean, the disregard for the lives of others that these terrorists display "is not what the Koran says."

Actually, Goofball, that's exactly what it says.

Slay them wherever ye find them and drive them out of the places whence they drove you out, for persecution is worse than slaughter. - Sura 2:191

[newfreep]

To be accurate, "Radical" should be eliminated from the cartoon.

[Smokin' Joe]

ISIS.

Duh...What's the first 'I' stand for?

'Nuff said.

[jimfree]

How about Muslim thugs? Muslim pigs? Dogs?

islam = satan’s death cult
allah = satan’s symbolic moon idol
