"Believe me," adds Musa, "behind closed doors, there are no moderate Muslims."

[Frank_Discussion]

Then, by all means, we need to break down some of those closed doors and bust some heads. BY ALL MEANS.

England is committing suicide.

[BurbankKarl]

England? You need to look a little closer to home! This stuff is being said here!

[Prince Charles]

"When I watched those planes go into the Twin Towers, I felt elated," he says.

Every dog will have his day. Yours will come soon enough, raghead.

[vandykelastone]

And canada is watching while they commit suicide and profitting not one whit from what they see. Can't wait for it to happen in canada. Anybody up for starting a pool? I say in 3 years. Keep voting Liberal!

[Pearls Before Swine]

I was going to quote that line, also. I believe!

[pau1f0rd]

I read this article tonight on the train after seeing a client in Whitechapel - a Muslim area in London. That line really stuck in my head.

I wonder what the liberal response to these people is? "Understand" them? Give them what they want, the Islamicization of the West? Strange as it may seem, I am beginning to think the latter may be true. I think liberals secretly hate the very freedom and secularism they have helped create; irreligious and guilt-ridden, disdainful of consumerism, maybe liberals secretly want the Bin Laden's of the world to punish them/us and force us into a "purer" world, the kind of Spartan world that the Leftist elite always wants to force upon the masses. I know a guy who thinks the people in the Twin Towers got exactly what they deserved, and I think millions of liberals secretly think the same thing, that America is a corrupt, decadent society that needs cleansing from a primitive source such as radical Islam.

"When I watched those planes go into the Twin Towers, I felt elated," he says. "That magnificent action split the world into two camps: you were either with Islam and al Qaeda, or with the enemy.

Yep.

[Kozak]

"When I watched those planes go into the Twin Towers, I felt elated," he says.

About how I will feel the day the Kabaa is vaporized.

[Modernman]

That magnificent action split the world into two camps: you were either with Islam and al Qaeda, or with the enemy.

That sounds about right.

Muslims should beware of the Western approach to war. The Eastern world looks at war as just another part of the negotiation process. In the Western military tradition, you fight wars with the explicit goal of completely destroying your enemy. The only thing that keeps us from wiping every muslim off the face of the earth is our own humanity. However, as the Japanese learned at the end of WWII, that only goes so far.

One of these days, I fear Muslims will go too far. They may destroy one of our cities in a nuclear blast. We, in turn, will end Islamic civilization. This "clash of civilizations" really only has one possible outcome. Hopefully, the muslim world will figure that out before they force us to do something we'll all regret.

extremist groups such as al-Muhajiroun are under the spotlight like never before.

Wow. Under the spolight. Yeah. That'll work.

[Steve_Seattle]

Today The Seattle Times had a front-page story dealing with the "rising threat" of right-wing extremism. And so it goes . . .

[Steve_Seattle]

"One of these days, I fear Muslims will go too far."

A lot of us thought that 9-11 was going too far. And the fact that 9-11 still apparently hasn't sunk in with the Democrats and much of the public, means it will probably take something worse to convince some people of the magnitude of the war we're in.

I think liberals secretly hate the very freedom and secularism they have helped create

The liberals alive today didn't create anything. They are the inheritors of what others, classic liberals among them, and men of conscience and action, created in the past. We are the inheritors of the bold risk takers of the English Revolution and the American Revolution, amongst other courageous people of the past.. The current generation in England and Europe does not have that vision or spine, and many here in the U.S. don't either.

[monkeywrench]

Exactly right. This whole thing is a war between the left and right. The islammees are their tool.

[DuncanWaring]

...split the world into two camps: you were either with Islam and al Qaeda...

Ironically, they agree with Dubya and a lot of the rest of us on this.
