Imagine if you will a classroom filled with several dozen students.
There are two trouble making students, one is named Chris, the other other is named Moe.
One day Chris grabs Suzie's pig tail and dips it into a ink well and the teacher catches him in the act. The Teach punishes Chris by giving him detention and scolds him in front of the class and the other students glare at Chris and even mock him verbally for doings such a thing because Suzie is well liked girl. The teacher doesn't do anything to stop the other students from letting Chris know how they feel. Throughout the day and into the week Chris is shunned by fellow students whenever he does any mischief or when he is about to. Chris learns his lesson.
The next week Moe decides to be a prankster and puts a frog in little Carol's desk. The Teacher catches him doing it, but she gives him a 10 minute timeout. Then the other students who last week mocked and derided Chris start to let Moe know exactly how they feel about his bad behavior. The teacher slams her book down on the desk and yells at the entire class. "Hey! Why are you picking on Moe? Why are you so hateful towards Moe? You should all be ashamed of yourselves! " The rest of the class slid down in their desk and for the next week every-time Moe was up to mischief, well no one spoke up since they didn't want to ear the ire of the Teacher. Moe continued his mischief and pranks until he playing around in the science lab a few weeks later and started a fire which burned down the whole school killing several other students who were in other classes who didn't make it out since Moe had sabotaged the fire alarm earlier in the week.
Later after the memorial for the lost students, the principal asked some of the student why they didn't speak up when they saw Moe starting the fire in the trash can with the lab chemicals one of them said: "I didn't want the teacher to yell at me for being a bad person...."
Replace Chris with Christian / Conservatives, Moe with Islam, and the Teacher with the Media / Government.
Now, I am not saying there should be a PHYSICAL backlash against Muslims, but dammit, there SHOULD be a backlash verbally, there should be a backlash on the BATTLEFIELD OF IDEAS. A Battle that has been squashed for far damned too long by the so called referees of such a battle, the government and the Media.
Communists and all leftists love to foment class warfare of any kind. It’s how they get and maintain power. Obama knows how to play this game well. But don’t despair, he won’t escape the judgement of Almighty God.
The Attorney General has already said the Justice Dapartment will come after you.
However, you can go after Christians as much as you want.
Well, the Republican controlled Senate did approve her. And the voting public demanded ,via their votes, in 2008, a muslim to rule over them. And to demonstrate that this was no fluke, in 2012 they re-affirmed their demand for a muslim to rule over them. It looks to me like their prayers were answered.
Great post.
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

Correct. No broad societal impact for a particular community’s actions means those people will not feel remotely responsible the next time a horrible event occurs in their community’s name.
