Michelle Malkin: Berserk 'peace' activism

You're walking down the street when you spot an antiwar protester wielding a peace sign on the corner. Quick, what do you do? Duck.

As we battle global jihad, perplexed and apoplectic pacifists show their true colors. Rainbow tie-dye has turned to raging-bull red.

Nobel Peace Laureate Betty Williams displayed what the Australian media called "her feisty Irish spirit" to hundreds of schoolchildren this week in a murder-minded diatribe against President Bush. "I have a very hard time with this word 'nonviolence,' because I don't believe that I am nonviolent," confessed Mrs. Williams. On the plus side, the rest of the sane world will no longer make the mistake of believing Peace Prize-winner Mrs. Williams is nonviolent, either (though the Nobel committee took the peace out of Peace Prize when it handed one to suicide bomber manufacturer Yasser Arafat in 1994).

While the kids cheered, Mrs. Williams, the world-renowned pacifist, fumed: "Right now, I would love to kill George Bush." In America, we don't call this irrational hatred "feisty Irish spirit." We call it "unhinged." Or, as Charles Krauthammer first diagnosed it, Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Mrs. Williams would no doubt endorse the disgusting comments left on an America Online message board for Sgt. Leonid Milkin, whose wife, two sons and sister-in-law were murdered in Kirkland, Wash., last week while he was serving in Iraq. Human Events Online writer Lisa De Pasquale documented the comments of antimilitary Bush-haters: "Too bad the paid assasin [sic] wasn't home also.... Got what he deserved for serving an illegal government in an illegal war."

I never in a million years would have ever thought that I would hate a religion and it's people. I now have to admit I hate Islam and am beginning to hate Muslims.

I really have to do a lot of praying in order to overcome this.
