It's not often you see a liberal NYT columnist cite National Review to eviscerate a Democratic president.

I caught Adm. James Lyons on C-SPAN3 this morning (replay but the original event was within the past few days), saying that we are at war with Islam--he derided the attempt to distinguish between "radical Islam" and "moderate Islam."

He's a retired admiral.

(most of them Muslims) by Boko Haram in Nigeria, by the Taliban in Pakistan, by Al Qaeda in Paris and by jihadists in Yemen and Iraq.

Hey Tommy! You cite 100% muslime terrorist acts. That's not "most". That's "ALL"!

To lay the source of the Paris massacres at the feet of Islamic jihadist terrorists, is to tacitly admit that you have SUPPORTED just such terrorism, if you are yourself sympathetic to Islam in all its forms.

Therefore terrorism cannot be labeled as Islamic terrorism (though Islamic terrorists are at the root of some 95% of the terrorism that goes on in the would today). It is important, instead, to go after gun owners and those who protest the cancerous growth of government into even the most minute aspect of personal life.

“Til Hell freezes over” - I would never have expected to see Tom Friedman and the NYT come out against Obama. Wow. Folks are slowly waking up.

But you don’t see this in the two giant Muslim communities in Indonesia or India.

He hasn’t been paying attention.

All these years the media would always find a way to defend Islam and separate the religion from the terrorists who invoke its name. I guess the attacks in Paris against one of their own are causing some of them to sing a different tune now. Stupid people.

This was supposedly canceled once...and it will be canceled again. It’s simply not reality.

Says it's in response to the Paris killings. Well, that's a damn lie.

It was originally scheduled for October.....just before elections. See Post 12

Huge admission by Friedman. To get the goods, he had to turn to National Review. I thought the New York Times was the "newspaper of record"?

Major, huge, gigundo buck-up for Tea Party conservatives. "Tom, we told you about this guy!"

Wow...Friedman criticizing the White House?

Also, this morning the NYT's Peter Baker was critical of Obama's foreign policy.

Surprise surprise.

After our own Islamic terrorist attack on 9/11, the world stood with us.

Not a single country stood apart pooh-poohing our concern over radical Islamic terrorism and the need to face up to it and defeat it.

Yet when France had its own Islamic terrorist attack a few weeks ago, our president refused to show solidarity both with France and the leaders of the world in their march in Paris, and now our president refuses to acknowledge that Islamic terrorists — self-declared haters of non-Muslims who are bent on destroying the non-Muslim world — are anything more than run-of-the mill extremists.

In a few days, Obama will be traveling to India, which experienced an Islamic terrorist attack of its own in Mumbai in 2008 by a group of Pakistani terrorists. In fact, this week India has been placed on high-alert because of an attack threat written on a wall in Mumbai’s airport. So what will Obama have to say to the people of India? Don’t worry about Muslim terrorists? Let’s all try to get along with religious maniacs who want to kill you in the name of the Muslim religion that we’re all supposed to open our arms to?
