Boortz made the statement the other day that "of the 139 wars/skirmishes/conflicts occuring around the world RIGHT NOW; 136 of them involve Muslims. ONLY three do not.

Interesting, isn't it?

Get the message...Muslims want to kill us...ALL of us. Moderates will turn on you and cut your throat the minute they feel they have the upper hand. Denial will be the death of many Americans...it already has been for thousands.

Reality Bump.

I stand with President Bush who has said the enemy is not Islam, but terrorism.

Of course he says that, but do you really think he believes it?

To a certain degree, I agree that the enemy is not Islam, per se. The enemy is radical Islam. The question is, what proportion of Islam, as practiced today, is truly non-radical?

And, I was just tweaking you with the "true sympathies" stuff, because you dish out far worse.

Agreed(and thanks for correcting my little spelling error:-)

What if by Muslim American's silence on terrorism, Sean Blevin and every other American Muslim, have given their tacit approval of what goes on in Saudi Arabia? This imo is the core of why Muslims in America are under suspicion--the non reaction on their part to attrocities in Muslim controlled countries and attacks on non Muslims.

Exactly! I'll say it again, is there any assurance that Muslim Americans would live in harmony once and if they ever got a majority(upper hand)? Which Muslim majority/controlled country can I see the reassurance I need that I can maintain my Christian religion without SERIOUS persecution.

Denial will be the death of many Americans...it already has been for thousands.>>

Yes, and what makes me so irate about this is the death of a lot of Americans who already realize the threat. It irritates me to no end that MY children are being put at risk by those in denial.

Unfortunately, you are probably right that we won't see any of the tougher steps happen until more people die. What stinks about it is included in those figures of death and destruction will be people who weren't in denial and whose lives were risked by those who are.

Believe it or not, there is actually a pretty good sized muslim population in Knoxville (UTK is my alma mater), and alot more than you would think in the East TN area. I saw a tv show (it was pre 9-11, and I can't remember for the life of me what channel or even what the name of the show was) detailing that there are Islamic mosques dotted throughout the mountains of East TN in extremely rural areas. I remember thinking that I couldn't believe that these mosques existed, as I surely would have run across one, but from what the show said, you wouldn't recognize them if you saw one. Pretty strange, and it got my mind moving as to what better hideout for ME terrorist types; mosques squirreled away in the mountains of East TN.

"I stand with President Bush who has said the enemy is not Islam, but terrorism. If you know better than President Bush then you are free to throw your hat into the ring."

What did you think he'd say? "Islam is a violent, intolerant, sexist sub-religion that spawns murdering psychopaths? Do your civic duty and keep an eye on your Muslim neighbors?" He knows what he's facing. You can bet the alphabet agencies are profiling their a&&es off.
