PATRICK...GOOD ARTICLE!! You are so right on...funny how something good can come out of something bad. This lie we have been avoiding facing for centuries has been exposed. Islam is NOT a religion of peace. It is a religion of hate. We cannot avoid this fact anymore. We must not be distracted by those who want to be PC.

Before the PR disaster-in-the-making spun too far out of hand, our President quickly stepped forward and called Islam a “religion of peace.” To the ears of many, it sounded too much like Orwell’s ironically named “Ministry of Peace.” Or more bluntly, it was a crock and most Americans knew it.

But it was a crock we thought we should live with, because how could we blame a religion with millions of adherents for 9-11? It seemed unfair, and dangerous to America’s and the world’s safety.

If we wanted to keep fueling our SUVs, it was best not to insult the man’s religion, know what I mean?

That knife cuts both ways, and they need to sell us their oil a lot worse than we need to buy it. If the situation ever came to a head, little Tommy Daschle's obstruction of drilling wouldn't go over too well.

Of course, I think it is a mistake to rebuild Iraq before it is destroyed, but that is the political climate we live in.

I have a fear, I'm afraid that the liberal left is driving the public to forget 9/11, and to believe that Islam really is a religion of peace. I hear a great many people around me scream about the injustice of the war in Iraq, and the evil motives behind it. Americans truely have a short attention span.
This is the really bad part. I fear that the public will dismiss what President Bush has done in the WOT because of our collective short attention span. That will push the swing vote to Kerry. And if Kerry is elected, the WOT will stall, and we could indeed be in danger of being overwhelmed from within, (by our newly embraced islamist immigrants under a Kerry administration).
If al-Quaida uses Spain as their model, they will attack the US before the elections. IF they do that, many will die, but Americans will respond differently. Americans will see islamists as the enemy, at least for the short term, and it will help push the swing vote to Bush.
If the islamists don't attack, the swing vote will move to Kerry, and we will be in serious, serious trouble. No one in power will have the guts to acknowledge we are in fact, at war. Or, to acknowledge islam as the enemy.
That is what I see, and I don't like it. Anyone care to correct me where I'm wrong?

Thanks for the Volley Bump Alamo-Girl!

You and I know the truth. But there is no way that the US Government will take any across the board stance against the entire religion of Islam for a host of reasons, some that I agree with.

[abigail2]

Thanks Hope! You're right-on!

You're quite welcome. Here's another!

Be still my heart. Someone has finally concisely told it as it is.

Bookmarked.

Why do so many consider the religion itself a fraud? It’s not just its bloodthirsty and contradictory teachings, or the questionable character of its founder. Look at its history, fraught with violence and intimidation. And look at its fruit today—terrorism everywhere, with barely a protest anywhere to the most barbaric actions of its practitioners.

I guess we have our work cut out for us.

"We pretend we are fighting “terrorists”. "

Has he spoken to many of the troops? We're fighting terrorists, not the muslim people.

[abigail2]

Seems like its going to play out how its going to play out. Some of us know the truth and won't let people forget it.

[abigail2]

I agree!! You can thank rebuildus if you want!

Sorry, Patrick and numerous others on this forum just don't understand the president's motivation in calling Islam a "religion of peace." While I would agree that Islam is the true enemy (as I'm certain the president does), I also realize that we need to limit the size of our enemy until such time as we are capable of dealing with it, which is why the president has, time after time, painted this conflict as a war against terrorism and NOT a war against Islam. To as much extent as possible this includes using other Islamic nations in the battle against "terror" such as Pakistan, Turkey, etc. Divide and conquer!

The president is a pragmatist and a diplomat and to that end will prayerfully guide us in a manner that minimizes losses for all concerned and seeks to changes hearts and minds, not destroy them eternally.
