It never ceases to amaze me that a billion people around the world have decided to take all of their political ills, social miseries, and the disgust of living under dictatorships on the plight well under 1 percent of their entire population, blame it on a nation the size of New Jersey and the worlds only remaining superpower.

"Every country has fundamentalists… I think Billy Graham Jr. is a fundamentalist," he said, referring to the Rev. Franklin Graham, who once called Islam "a very evil and wicked religion."

So just how many Muslims have Rev. Graham's followers killed by terrorist acts?

It was the same before 9-11, as it is now.

1. Satan hates Israel

2. Ergo Satan's followers hate Israel

3. The US protects Israel

4. Therefore, Satan's followers hate US

"Every country has fundamentalists… I think Billy Graham Jr. is a fundamentalist," he said,
referring to the Rev. Franklin Graham, who once called Islam "a very evil and wicked religion."
These people have a right to practice that form of their religion, just as fundamentalist
Christians do in America, he was quoted as saying. "

So I guess I am to understand that mass murder is a normal "practice" of Islam.
That is what this idiot is saying. Murder is a rite and right of Islam. They are just
practicing it on Israelis and Americans.

Then he slanders "fundementalist" Christianity by implying
Christians are doing the same things as Muslims. God I despise these people.
Why even talk to them? Why is America allowing these Muslims to foul our country!!!
KICK THEM ALL OUT!!

"It will take time to build trust again. You can't make a quick fix. This is the equivalent of nation-building,"

What exactly did the US do to need to make a nation-building effort to fix? And as far as comparing Christian fundamentalism to Islamic fundamentalism, I can't think of the last time Christian "fundamentalist" conducted terrorism and killed scores of innocent people.

Funny how we find Islam to be "radical." Many moderate believers in Islam find the scary Armageddon Christian cults in our country to be equally as scary.

They left out the part where they want the entire world to be ruled by Islam. One excuse after another for why they hate us, but the fact is, they intend to rule the world with their religion.

Being a fundamentalist in a religion that says turn the other cheek is different from being a fundamentalist in a religion that says find the infidel and kill him.

"...who was assigned by Congress to suggest solutions to anti-Americanism in the Muslim world."

Muslim world? They only learned it from American Liberals, EnvironMentalDefectives and some Democruds who think it's sophisticated to spew hatred for the Great American cultural traditions and taboos.

Who actually gives a chit what they think of America? Whatever they think will certainly never change by our making a federal case out of it in Con-gress!!! (Congress, the opposite of Pro-gress)

The United States is unloved in the Muslim world due to its policy in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, occupation of Iraq and its preoccupation with fundamentalists, a group of Muslim intellectuals told U.S. officials and experts, who wanted to know the reason behind rising anti-U.S. sentiments among Muslims, reported a leading U.S. newspaper.

Did any of the U.S. officials and experts have presence of mind to ask the muslim intellectuals WHO the muslim world loves ?? Islam is a conniving demonic cult. They do not even love one another. It would be unreasonable to expect them to love anyone else. The muslim intellectuals should have been challenged to name ONE location on the entire planet where they live in peace with non-muslim neighbors.

"The perception in the Muslim world is that the problem is the policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Iraq," she told the U.S. panel

IOW they hate us because we oppose thuggish, kleptocratic murderers (like Arafat) and support, with blood and dollars, the expansion of human liberty. Pretty much what I thought. Is this really news?

These Muslim megalomaniacs could have spent their time more productively by answering the question, "Why are muslims world wide seen as primitive ignorant mass murderers with no hope of redemption (perhaps even survival) any time soon?"

They hate the Jews because the Jews are living on the one piece of real estate that GOD gave to his chosen people as an inheritance...And the Arabs ain't in the will and they know it...

They even built a GOD-forsaken temple on top of the Holiest of Holies thinking they could trick GOD...No way Jose'...

And now they think, or hope that by killing all of the Jews, and the Americans who help them, GOD will have to take them as long as they possess the land...And if they can murder ALL who refuse to belong to their cult, their chances are even better...

Hmmmm, at some point they're going to have to start asking themselves why Americans don't like THEM. I'm sick of a bunch of people demanding that we support a bunch of thugs and murderers just so we can be "liked" by the rest of the world. Well, if that's what it takes.....who cares what they think.

Tell them to get those thugs under control and things might change, but until that time, don't call us, we'll call you.

US DOJ.gov - Press Release: "OCTOBER MARTINIQUE LEWIS PLEADS GUILTY TO MONEY LAUNDERING IN 'PORTLAND CELL' CASE" (PRESS RELEASE SNIPPET: "Lewis, the ex-wife of co-defendant Jeffrey Leon Battle, pleaded guilty to six counts of money laundering. The defendant, who was indicted in May 2003, admits that she transferred or transmitted money or funds from the United States to a place outside the country, for the purpose of assisting Battle in willfully supplying services to the Taliban. As part of a plea agreement, Lewis accepts responsibility for her criminal conduct and agrees to cooperate completely and truthfully with the government in the investigation and prosecution of other individuals involved in criminal and terrorist activity. Lewis entered the guilty plea this morning before Judge Robert E. Jones at the U.S. District Court in Portland, Oregon. In her plea agreement, Lewis admits that on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, defendant Jeffrey Battle picked her up from work and told her about the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Battle then drove them to a park where defendants Battle, Patrice Lumumba Ford, Ahmed Bilal and others were practicing martial arts in order to prepare for jihad. Lewis admits that in October 2001, Battle decided to leave the United States and travel overseas to fight jihad in Afghanistan against the armed forces of the United States, as U.S. and other allied forces began combat operations in Afghanistan against the Taliban. Lewis states that Battle told her she could work while he was gone. After he left, he told her to send him money overseas, which she agreed to do. She admits taking Battle to the airport in Portland on Oct. 17, 2001. Lewis also states that in one communication with Battle after he left, he asked her to talk to "the brothers" and ask for money for him. She admits to receiving a "stack of money" from another person's wife that was intended for Battle. Lewis states that on a number of occasions, she wired money to Battle via Western Union to various locations in Hong Kong, China and Bangladesh, in amounts ranging from $100 to $400 dollars. Lewis admits that on each occasion, she knew the money she wired was going to be used to support Battle's continuing attempts to enter Afghanistan to fight in jihad for the Taliban against the United States and its allies.")
