Muslim Americans say they will flex political muscle in 2004

What are you talking about?

Things you wish you had bookmarked....

Shortly after 911, while perusing islamic websites, I came across an editorial by a muslim shaming those who had flown the planes into the WTC. What he said was - be patient and keep bringing the students in from other countries, teach them well, and get them into politics. He said - there is a peaceful way to do this.

I have kept track of the institute in Virginia discussed in the link I posted above somewhere in my posts. They use Saudi money to send their graduates to Harvard, Princeton, etc. Precisely, I believe, to get them well-placed, in law, politics, medicine, where ever they can be helpful in the future.

Just my personal paranoia.

Once the Muslim-incited *intifada* starts on these shores -

- their so-called vote and political clout will become moot, as they're interred by the millions.

Oh. I thought you were a quick1.

Anyway, that's one of the great suicidal notions that we here in the west tend to carry around with us - that muslims are somehow "like us". It typically surfaces in discussions in the form of "some of my best friends are muslims".

There's a very instructive case that you should read, it's floating around here on FR. Several articles about this muslim who after a lifetime of "moderate" islam suddenly has a "religious awakening" and cuts the head off a Jewish friend, then gives himself up with the words "I have killed my Jew". Yeah, maybe you should be a little vigilant how things taste ;).

Thank you. Americans don't have a clue of how brutal
the Ottoman's were at that period of time. Not much
has changed in that part of the world.

Wow, a case about a single muslim who goes nuts. I guess that's somehow less anecdotal than having Muslims for friends.

I know they aren't "like me". If I wanted my friends to be exactly the same as myself, then I'd be leading a pretty boring life.

Kind of like that professor in Florida somewhere who was telling people he was a "good" muslim and everyone liked him.
Then they raided him because he was channeling funds to Hamas or something. I don't have these facts exactly straight but the point is correct.

A spokesman for Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry could not be reached by telephone for comment.

He's still formulating a way to be on both sides of the issue.

[MarMema]

one of many that came up.

The one I recall reading, probably here, had quotes from all of his friends at the U, with the usual "what a nice guy" statements.

Wow, a case about a single muslim who goes nuts

You're not getting it :). The point is not about going nuts. The point is that this muslim, after years of "dormancy", suddenly explodes into true islam, doing what the Koran commands. This is not an unusual occurrence, by any means. Here's another one:

So the Constitution doesn't apply during war?

Enemies, foreign and domestic. You seem to have a great deal of problems with the concept. You also seem to be illiterate: I told you not to ping me again. Now go away and read your Koran. Maybe that squiggly stuff can calm you down.

[DonaldDuke]

Yeah, that guy turned out to be a pretty big wheel and carefully placed, a project that took years and years of planning and work. The Muslims have learned from the KGB, unfortunately, and they have the perfect mindset for this game - a total disregard for weakness, no morals as a westerner would recognize them, and total hatred of any non-muslim.

And lest anyone should think that the west really won the war against the Soviets, go and do a google for "the hum of the hive".

Now consider: the muslims are better at it than their instructors. They do the same kind of longterm planning and implementation, with the added ingredient that they do not particularly want to live. In fact, on some discussion boards they're talking about killing off all life on the planet as a desirable goal.

Islam - Religion of Peace?

[LibWhacker]

We were fools to allow these creeps into the country, and I'm sure the 'rats would like to let another 10 or 20 million in. You can kiss the Republican Party goodbye if they are permitted to do it.

A Muslim woman in full head dress was walking on one side of mall with her children, when everyone who saw this lady, moved over to the opposite side of the mall so that they wouldn't have to be near her.

I really hate that the Islamofascists that have been making our lives miserable for years have driven good Americans to react this way. I don't blame my fellow citizens either - I have these same feelings myself at times.

Odds are that this woman is a well-adjusted person with love in her heart just trying to make it through the day. If this is the case, her fellow muslims have created a horrendous reality for her. It follows that the WOT is also about clearing the world of these murderous scumbags so that, one day, she and her children won't have to deal with being the objects of scorn.

I disagree; if you don't pay taxes, you should sit down, shut up, and stay home on election day.
