Re: Thursday, August 10, 2006
You quote this: "This nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom to hurt our nation." Generalized statements like this which instill nebulous fear without specific information are exactly in line with the goals of terrorism. How is that a "generalized statement"? Has Ze Frank not been paying attention? The sad reality is this: Not all Muslims are terrorists to be sure - but nearly every single terrorist over the last few years has been Muslim. That includes the DC area sniper, who was a convert. The bigger problem is the insistent desire on the part of many Americans (and others) to not see this. We don't want to recognize radical Islam as a threat, and we certainly don't want to contemplate the very real possibility that Islam itself is an ideology that lends itself to terrorism and totalitarianism. We are taught that all religions are more or less equivalent, and we cling to that belief religiously. That's what Ze Frank does above - he resolutely does not want to see reality. Look over the names of the terror suspects the Brits nabbed yesterday. Now, do the same for any list of terror suspects over the last decade. What you'll see is an alarming sameness to those names.
