How does supplying radical Muslims with 8x10 glossies of their handshakes with the President "isolate" them? Seems to me this sort of thing just enhances their status within the broader Islamic community.

Go back and read my post again.

I never said a few errors in the White House invitation list when it comes to Muslim leaders "isolates" them.

I was talking about these idiotic suggestions that Bush declare war on all Muslims...and instead of gaining the help of decent Muslims in tracking down a few thousand terrorists, make it a war against millions for their religion.
How stupid.

BTW, wishful rhetoric aside, we are at war with radical Islam (a thing) not "terrorism" (a tactic).

No we're not either. People can be as radical as they want in their beliefs. We have freedom of religion in America in case you've forgotten.

It's when religious kooks take their beliefs to the next level and engage in terrorism that we are at war with them.

Haven't forgotten. Unfortunately, radical Islam is not just a religious belief, it's also a political ideology, specifically, a radical utopian ideology, whose adherents have expansionist designs, and who like other totalitarian adherents (fascists, communists), view violence as an appropriate means to their ends.

It's my enemy; and it should be your's too.
