There is no such thing as “radical islam”.

There is only “islam”.

Let’s stop providing cover for the enemy with our dishonesty.

From a Spero News article on the attacks: "Witnesses claimed everyone covered the heads while terrorists calmly shot people for ten minutes, reloading three or four times."

"Everyone covered their heads."

If 50 guys, even unarmed, had rushed the shooters, they could have taken them out. There were 1500 people there.

"Everyone covered their heads."

That’s how Fox News labeled it.

Steyn remarks disputes the myths about Islam. Free speech is not a universal value and not shared by Muslims.

His remarks are spot on.

That’s cool.

I’m not after Steyn. Steyn is beyond smart.

But whomever uses the term “radical islam” needs to be called out for providing cover to the enemy, because that is exactly what they are doing.

Radical Islam? Is that like Radical Nazis?
Were there good moderate Nazis?

The Japanese declared War on us and we went to war.
Islam has declared war on us, when will we wake up?

I sure wish Steyn was born in the United States. Because a Trump/Steyn or Cruz/Steyn ticket would be very interesting.

That’s because the French have surrendering in their blood.

Get 10,000 Frenchmen and women in a situation like that and they’ll do the exact same thing. It could be a million and they’d all wave the white flag toward the three or four Muslim terrorists shooting them one by one.

Agreed.

I have always called them Muslim fundamentalists.

Let's not be silly.

MD, 100 out of 1500 died in Bataclan - so many survived because they ran.

Given the opportunity, 99 out of 100 people in this situation will run and not charge the attacker.

JH, surrendering is not "in the blood" for the French.

France conquered most of Europe under Napoleon, lost millions in WWI, and fought for decades in Algeria and Vietnam.

Human nature is human nature, and the jihadists will use it against the French, and against the British, and against us.

And plenty of us have lost our nerves and you both know it.

Remember that Muslim terrorist attack on the PARIS-BOUND train in Belgium back in August?

Let me jog your memory.
http://www.wsj.com/articles/two-u-s-soldiers-help-subdue-attacker-on-french-train-1440238328

Exactly who stopped them? Oh, yeah! It wasn’t the French nor any Belgians, but three Americans instead!

And if those Americans hadn’t been there? The whole train would have surrendered instantly and every passenger shot one by one by the bloodlusting Muzzie savages.

During 9/11 not all of the planes made it to their intended targets. And why is that?
