Most of them are physicians? And you're afraid?

I think your paranoia has gottten the better of your situational awareness.

[nuconvert]

"Wahhabists are better Muslims than you are"

Not quite sure what you mean by that 'you', but I'll tell you that moderate and traditional muslims do NOT look favorably upon the wahhabis. They are a relatively small sect, sometimes referred to as a 'cult' by other muslims.

[sarasmom]

Then they better start looking and acting a whole lot more "unfavorably" upon their evil fundamentalist cult brothers.

It is never pretty to contemplate genocide, in any form.
But the ugly contemplation is simmering just under the surface here in the USA, and it really wont take very much for it to boil over.

The President has done his damndest to keep a lid on it, but it appears inevitable, given the current condition of our society. The unholy alliance of the deviant left with the jihadis assures a civil war.
This year or in five years?
We should start a pool....

I read somewhere that around 1960, Wahhabis were largely confined to the Arabian peninsula and were considered somewhat neurotic by the rest of the world's Muslims. But since then, with oil money, they have been very successful propagating their brand of extreme Islam throughout the world. They will kill anyone who disagees with them -- not only "polytheists" (which includes Christians and Jews in their eyes) but fellow Muslims.

The US was worried about the spread of Iranian-inspired Muslim fundamentalism after the 1979 takeover of Iran by the mullahs. That's why we sided with the secular Saddam Hussein (!!) during the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. As it turns out, the brand of Islam sponsored by our "friend" Saudi Arabia has been far more successful and is a much greater threat.

Yeah, no doubt, but in the times we live in, it doesn't help their cause to have some jerk running around bragging about shooting women in their country.

Do I remember this right, aren't our troops in Afghanistan arming and teaching women how to use guns? If so, that's pretty funny. The middle east might be a litte different should he decide to return home.

[boris]

Very astute. I've been saying much the same thing since 9/11/2001.

[sauropod]

Oh man! You must not have been hanging out on some of the Catholic religion threads then. ;-).

[risk]

I do know that I have total situational awareness of what is happening, and I sure do not like what I see.

I agree with nuconvert's response. At the start of WWII, FDR said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Organized terror hasn't changed a lot in 70 years; it's just being harnessed in new ways. It's all the same thing. If you feel irrational fear, the extremists can declare a temporary victory over you on the spot.

We won WWII by reacting intelligently to fear. Right now I'm more worried about our own disunity than anything else. Think about that for a minute!

I think your paranoia has gottten the better of your situational awareness.

Do you know what safe doses are for all the meds that might be prescribed for you? I will be checking. What about drug interactions? How about NOT telling a patient they have a potentially fatal disease? Just let them die when with a correct course of treatment they could survive.

I say a pound of paranoia is better than an embalming table any day of the week.

[SauronOfMordor]

2nd type of Muslims don't read Koran or say their prayers

In other words, the "safe" Muslims are those who are ethnicly Muslim without being religiously Muslim. It remains to see which side they will choose if a conflict starts between the US and their ethnic brethren

[SauronOfMordor]

Even if a nuclear bomb went off in New York city I don't think Americans would have the will do so what the author suggests.

If backpack bombs went off in malls all over "flyover country", I think a certain hostile attitude would develop real fast.

Keep in mind that it's only been 59 years since we nuked Japan, and a bit over a century from when we concluded a campaign that pretty-much exterminated the Native American race in the US. The Muslims mess with us at their own considerable risk

[SauronOfMordor]

At the start of WWII, FDR said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

The "fear" speech was his First Inuageral Address. In 1933. He was talking about the Depression NOT our later enemies of WW-2

If our government acted the way he is suggesting, we would be just as bad as the Middle East.

If our government acted thusly, we might forstall the day that we have
problems with Islamic groups in the USA...just like the ones in The Philippines
and even Thailand.
It's not accidental that Michelle Malkin, of Philippino parentage, vigorously investigates
and writes about our immigration policies funtioning as a terrorist pipeline.

Many Muslims are peaceable.
But all it takes is very small percentage of committed Islamofacists in their
midst...and soon blood is running in the streets.
And only recently has a bit of a "moderate" Muslim move to condemn terrorism in the USA
raised it's head.

I'm skeptical...the timing does lead me to wonder if it's not just CYA insurance
for when the next big Islamo attack hits the USA mainland or assets abroad.

[gargoyle]

...Great article. Good on yer!!!

[freedumb2003]

Not all Moslems are bad

Islam is an inherently evil religion, founded by a power-hungry pediophile. It is the only religion except Satan Worship (its close cousin) that calls IN ITS SACRED TEXT for the violent destruction of all who are not adherents.

Any thinking person who follows this religion either doesn't understand it or is evil. Period.

I am sure there are Satan Worshippers who are very nice people outside of their coven. But if they are not evil then they are not really Satan Worshippers are they?

[iconoclast]

Mr. Auster is a Mesoconservative

LOL. Mesoconservative? Is this a ploy to head off the Paleocon posse at the pass?

Skimming his blog I find it difficult to separate him from the neocons.

[iconoclast]

But, neocon or meso .... I agree with his points.

The "fear" speech was his First Inuageral Address. In 1933. He was talking about the Depression NOT our later enemies of WW-2

Thanks for the correction...

[iconoclast]

Unlike the items in your list, the wearing of a head scarf for religious purposes presents no societal threat.

Could we clarify this a little? Are we talking about head scarves, per se, here, or does that include the "bhurka" (sp) type garb that that Florida women refused to take off for her driver's license picture (thus making it useless).

I've always wondered, if she was so "religious" that she couldn't remove the garb, why did she need a driver's license?
