Political Correctness Kills

got an instant chill when I looked at him. I got this grip in my stomach and then, of course, I gave myself a political correct slap…I thought, “My God, Michael, these are just a couple of Arab businessmen.” That was ticket agent Michael Tuohey’s recollection of his encounter with Mohammed Atta at the check-in desk of U.S. Airways in Portland on the morning of September 11, 2001. For Tuohey, the fear of being politically incorrect was greater than his instinctive fear. Better to take the remote risk of a terrorist act than the more immediate risk of being thought a bigot.

...and don’t forget, the Clock-Boy episode was on people’s minds, especially then.

Progressives like to slap non-Progressives, call them names, subject them to derision, make light of their opinions, mock their religious faith and destroy their psyches.

Then, when the non-Progressives call them on it, they say they’re moronic un-scientific idiots, bigots and racists, not to mention being need of “psychotherapy”. (re-education)

(that is... they urinate on ones shoes and have the chutzpah to say it’s raining.)

(To top it all off, they look upon human beings as messiahs.)

IMHO

The ruling class will willingly sacrifice innocents on the altar of political correctness.

Islam is a murder cult of Satan, in direct opposition to God. It always has been and it always will be.

There is also no such thing as "moderate" Islam or "moderate" Muslims if they actually believe the Koran and Hadiths (if they don't believe, they are apostates and infidels themselves). Theses "moderates" are simply more killers in waiting - awaiting the return of the True Mahdi and the Caliphate before they join the bloody rampage for Allah against the unbelievers to turn the world into submission to Allah (Satan) as demanded by their own scriptures. Like rabies, there is no cure - unless they accept Jesus as Lord instead of Allah.

Flight Student Facing Deportation Over Trump Post

By Russ Niles

A commercial flight school student from Egypt is in jail in California after he posted what immigration officials perceive as a threat to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. It appears the Immigration and Customs Enforcement department is intent on deporting Emadeldin Elsayed for the Facebook post even though there was not enough evidence to charge him criminally. In the post, Elsayed said he would be willing to go to prison for life for killing Trump and the world would thank him for it. Elsayed and his lawyer Hani Bushra both have said the post was dumb and Elsayed said he regretted hitting the button as soon as he did it. He said he was reacting to Trump’s proposal to ban Muslims from the U.S. temporarily. “It’s just a stupid post. You can find thousands of these every hour on Facebook and the media,” he told The Associated Press in a phone interview from jail. “I don’t know why would they think I am a threat to the national security of the United States just because of a stupid post.”

It apparently took the Secret Service and immigration officials more than a week to determine it was more serious than a “stupid post.” He was interviewed by the Secret Service shortly after he put up the post and eight days later they returned to tell him that while he didn’t break the law, his visa to attend flight school was being revoked. He said the agent who interviewed him spoke about the mass killing in nearby San Bernardino by a Muslim couple and the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. Elsayed will appear at an immigration hearing to discover his fate but it appears Customs and Immigration has already determined the outcome. The department issued a statement saying the student pilot violated “the terms of his admission to the United States.” Elsayed said that if he’s deported he’ll seek a refund of the $65,000 he paid Universal Air Academy and get his training elsewhere. Universal Air Academy owner Alex Khatib said he’d welcome Elsayed back. “He is honestly a good student,” Khatib said. “He seemed to be a good guy.”
