Then do you think Paul Bremer is a good example? The Iraqis love him. He gave a heart jerking speech at the sovereignty transfer. Our media buried it. I have it at my site...But is he a good example?
Is he a møøselimb?
He is suppose to be. Hence is why he is so popular with the 'peasent' revolt.
The coalition had a lot more success than the mainstream media has reported.
I posted regularly with Ragtime Cowgirl on the success of this coalition movement for quite a few months.
Bremer was very popular. The Coalition was EXCEPTED.
The 'peasents' accepted and embraced. If I didn't do this (this coalitin postings), I would be right there with you in the "expel all muslim" mode. But their stories sounded the same as my grandma's. THIS is the only reason for my questions.
You do remember Italians weren't accepted in early on immigration, right?
There were dictator stories then too. This is why Sopranoes is such a hit.
For kicks and giggles, my nephew dates a big wig from that show. That show has nothing on the reality of the real maf.

Nor were my Irish ancestors. But unlike the islamists, neither the Irish nor the Italians came here with the religious mandate to destroy our culture, or kill us/die in the attempt.
The Mafia at it's most foul never tried to eliminate the US government. Influence, yes, but devastate, no.
Imagine a Mafia don trying to persuade a bunch of wiseguys to hijack planes and fly them into buildings!

This point of yours was coupled with American in Israels post above. He pointed out, that the refuges never left the main problem, Islam. That fits with your statement and making me go "hmmm" differently.
Thank you for your incite.
AT ANYTIME...if a "moderate islamist" is following this thread, PLEASE chime in.
