9/11 memorial stirs debate over 'Islamic terrorists'

NEWS 9/11 memorial stirs debate over 'Islamic terrorists'

Two words on this 9/11 memorial are stirring a major debate (KTRK)

Thursday, September 01, 2016 07:48AM OWEGO, NY (KTRK) --

Two words included on a memorial to victims of the 9-11 terror attacks are now stirring a major debate in New York.

A group is taking issue with the words "Islamic terrorists" as they appear on the monument in Owego.

The Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier worries the wording could encourage hatred towards Muslims living in the city, painting all Muslims with the same brush, they say.

Donald Castellucci, town supervisor for the city of Owego, says he doesn't see it that way.

"I don't live in a politically-correct worldm" Castellucci says. "I live in a historical fact world and cross terrorism, whether it's American homegrown, Christianity, Islamic, you call it what it is."

Castellucci also says the town "doesn't whitewash things," and think the monument is accurate in its description of those responsible for the attacks on New York and Washington.

The Islamic group asks the monument change its description to read simply "terrorists" or even "al Qaeda terrorists."

How about substituting:

“Subhuman, murderous, blood-gargling, murderous troglodytes-from-hell, muslim filth”

That’s more accurate.

Our politicians and media HAVE to stop this insane pandering to those aligned with evil. “The Group” that complains is the Islamic Organization of the Southern Tier.

In order confront and stop evil you first have to recognize and name it. We don’t owe Muslims any apology whatsoever for our collective condemnation of Islamic Terrorism. To accede to their bullsh!t bleats is to forego all reason, frankly. I’ve said this once; I’ll say it a thousand times more if I have to.

“Moderate Muslims are the tall grass in which Jihadi Terrorists hide undisturbed.”

Wayne Madsen: Hillary Clinton courts Muslims to win election
Posted on September 6, 2016 by Dr. Eowyn | 1 Comment

In his subscriber-only post of Sept. 5, 2016, “Anti-migrant forces gain political steam in Europe (and America),” independent investigative journalist Wayne Madsen writes:

Europe’s populist anti-migrant leaders are backing U.S. Republican Party nominee Donald Trump against his rival Hillary Clinton, who favors a 555 percent increase in Syrian Muslim refugees allowed into the United States. Trump’s underlying theme of protecting American society against Islamists, jihadists, and terrorists has struck the same chord among America’s middle class as have similar calls in Europe to defend Western civilization against a radical Sunni Muslim culture of rape, pedophilia, sectarian violence, and unsanitary behavior in public places. Anti-migrant European political leaders, such as former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage and Dutch Freedom Party leader Geert Wilders, were guests of honor at Trump’s GOP convention in Cleveland.

The Hillary Clinton campaign has become desperate for Muslim votes in the United States. The Clinton campaign has spurred voter registration drives among Bosnian Muslims in St. Louis, many of whom entered the country during Bill Clinton’s war against Christian Serbia in the Balkans Wars, in order to flip Missouri to the Democrats. Clinton surrogates are also pushing for increased registration among Albanian and Kosovo Muslim blocs in Michigan and Florida to supplement Clinton’s sizable support among Muslim Arabs in eastern Michigan and the Jacksonville area of Florida.

Trump, on the other hand, can rely on political support from those of Lebanese Christian descent in New Hampshire; Greek descent in western Florida, Ohio, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia, and North Carolina; Serbian descent in Cleveland and its suburbs in Ohio; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and the greater Pittsburgh area of Pennsylvania; and Armenian descent in California that know, all-too-well, the dangers posed by Muslim radicals. The Lebanese Christian and Greek communities in New Hampshire are powerful political forces that could tip the state to Trump when the danger of Mrs. Clinton’s close ties to her Muslim Brotherhood-linked aide Huma Abedin is fully made known to the public.

Those who don’t like the truth should repeatedly be asked two questions:

Were they Islamic, or not?

Were they terrorists, or not?

We've been at war with the Mohammedans since before 1787.

You don't believe me? Then check American History and the words of President Thomas Jefferson.

Trump gains support of nearly 90 military figures

By Mark Hensch

A group of 88 retired military figures are backing Donald Trump for president, calling him the leader to deal with “burgeoning threats” facing the country.

The military backing for Trump, expressed in a statement first reported by The New York Times, is meant to bolster the GOP presidential nominee, who has seen other foreign policy Republicans back Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“The 2016 election affords the American people an urgently needed opportunity to make a long-overdue course correction in our national security posture and policy,” the coalition of former generals and military officials’ message reads.

“As retired senior leaders of America’s military, we believe that such a change can only be made by someone who has not been deeply involved with, and substantially responsible for, the hollowing out of our military and the burgeoning threats facing our country around the world. For this reason, we support Donald Trump’s candidacy to be our next commander-in-chief.”

The New York Times said Ret. Army Maj. Gen. Sidney Shachnow, a Holocaust survivor, and Ret. Navy Rear Adm. Charles Williams organized the group.

The coalition’s open letter praised Trump’s positions on issues including border security, radical Islam and domestic policing.

“For the past eight years, America’s armed forces have been subjected to a series of ill-considered and debilitating budget cuts, policy choices and combat operations that have left the superb men and women in uniform less capable of performing their vital missions in the future than we require them to be,” it says.

“For this reason, we support Donald Trump and his commitment to rebuild our military, to secure our borders, to defeat our Islamic supremacist adversaries and restore law and order domestically. We urge our fellow Americans to do the same.”

The moderates give cover to the radicals...they allow them to operate, they supply them with sanctuary, money, and anonymity.

There is no difference...they are all islamic soldiers, just performing different roles. The radicals are the infantry, the moderates are the Quartermaster corps.

We agree. To expose the Jihadi Terrorists, you have to first burn the fields.

Maybe Baptist Terrorists or Jewish Terrorists would work better?
