Is Islam the name of a popular dancer?

It always “needs” a boogey man. Someone who would subjugate us? Like Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. These types of bogey men have a tendency to recur.

Can you believe that this imbecile can say that, even though he was living in NYC on 11 Sep 2001. Wow, just wow.

Absolutely, because he did not personally suffer. If Radical Islam would attack and kill Hollywood types, then, and only then, will the Spike Lees and Michael Moores of the world get a clue.

He likely thinks that Islam is that crap Malcolm X was into.

The whole scowling black guys in tailored suits ranting about about whitey crap won’t fly in the world of ISIS.

One would think someone from NYC would understand the threat... but then again, we’re talking about that twisted little gnome Spike Lee.

Mr. Lee, care to explain the 12 people dead from the Charlie Hebdo massacre and the circa 2,000 dead caused by attacks by the Islamic Boko Haram militants in the space of one week?

It has always be like this—the Boogie men have been quite real—In order: The Indian savages, The Coruptive French, The effite elitist Brits, the British paid savages, the German Mercenaries, The trecherious Tories, the Rebelious slaves who would murder you in your beds, The Rebel slavers who would set savage white trash on your neck, The Mexicans, the outlaws, the Clever Germans, the Communists, the Russians, the Japanese, The Nazis, The Red Chinesee, the the Fanatical Japanese, the fanatical Islamic savage terrorists, —only a partial list. None of these were irrational fears—they were real enemies who would have crushed America under their heel. IS is only the newest in a list of foes. I am not saying we didn’t have a hand in making them enemies—but Enemies they are or were. Some enemies may well become friends over time—like the Brits, some we must externminate like vermin.

It’s not about facts or evidence. It’s about celebrity and stupidity. And the sad thing is that America is so dumbed-down that his formula can work. America wins the Darwin award which Islamists are more than willing to hand to us on a silver platter - right beside our heads.

What’s sad is that a lot of wide-awake people will get the same fate as everybody else, because the Spike Lee’s of this world are able to hoodwink enough people to condemn the whole body of America.

That’s right. Everything I need to know about the religion of peace was demonstrated for us on 9-11-2001.
15 of the 19 coward ‘skyjackers’ were Saudis. There was a thread here last night showing Saudi cops sawing off a woman’s head.
American war hero Chris Kyle called Islamacists what they are: savages. Once again, Shelton ‘Spike’ Lee is wrong.

Spike Lee’s “boogie” (sic) man is America itself.
