Americans must take a stand against our own extremists

When President Obama addressed the nation after the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, Calif., he reiterated the call to resist animus toward Muslims.

This was a familiar message — the same we had heard from President George W. Bush after the 9/11 attacks. We aren’t at war with Islam, both presidents have said, but with an ideology built on distortions (or medieval-minded interpretations) of the Islamic religion.

Even so, many Americans still need to be reminded that Muslims, rather than our enemies, are our friends, neighbors, colleagues, scholars, leaders, doctors, mechanics. They’re our fellow Americans. Even so, we continue to struggle even with the terminology we use to distinguish between everyday Muslims and radicalized terrorists....

Kathleen is a lib tard and lost in liberal delusions.

Muslims are not my fellow Americans. This idiotic reporter can wear a garbage bag with slits in it, but neither is she a fellow American. Likewise, no commie, no socialist, no elitist, and no fascist pig is my fellow American.

“Americans must take a stand against our own extremists”

Shucks!!!

When I saw the headline I thought this was a story about tossing Obama out of the White House and outlawing the democrat party.

Be that as it may Kathy baby, since 0bama has been President, there have been 65 Americans murdered and over 300 injured by members of islam, on American soil.

Back in Vietnam, one couldn't tell North from South, and turning your back on the wrong one could get you dead right quick. Nasty.

Same deal with these GD bastards.

This is where the Washington cartel betrayed the American people.

By not going to war against Islam.

While Islam continues to wage war against us.

I don't want to click through.

I presume the article is a call for the immediate arrest of "Obama", Valerie Jarrett, Susan Rice, Dennis McDonough, and Gina McCarthy.

Right?

You like Obama the Muslim?

[vpintheak]

I take a stand again Islamic punks in the USA.

Liberals have been praying to Gaia for a large scale violent anti-muslim backlash since 911. They have been honing their high horse editorials and internet memes since then, eager to unleash them at the any sign of intolerance.

Sometimes, like with this article, they can't hold it back any longer and rail against the violence that hasn't happened yet.

We aren't at war with Islam, both presidents have said, but with an ideology built on distortions (or medieval-minded interpretations) of the Islamic religion.

Actually we are in fact at war with islam, or more exactly islam is at war with us. We are friends with modern distortions of islam. I wonder what distortions the author is writing about that are not based in the koran?

Hey Kathy, the head extremist resides in the WH when he’s not golfing or in Hawaii.

[JusPasenThru]

The only American extremists that have killed anyone lately are jihadis.

Why do columnists get paid to rewrite this stuff? Anyone with a sense of humor could turn this out by the hundreds. Pure liberal boilerplate.
