All Norquist is guilty of is trying to thwart the dems efforts to put another minority voting block in their column. He brought in the same Muslim leaders that had been trooping to Hillary's door for eight years and that other pub leaders and government departments had been meeting with over a period of time.

And he is also guilty of trying to institute pro democratic and pro capitalism reforms in the Middle East. Let's take him out and shoot him.

The only way we'll win this war against worldwide terror is by aligning with the moderate elements, supporting them and turning the movement on itself.

It's a good thing that people who pull their six shooters every time they see what they believe to be a boogeyman aren't making the real decisions and devising long term strategic plans. It's short thinkers like that that hurt progress more than help it.

All I can tell you is that we must have radically different perceptions of what Islam is and what it means to the rest of the world. I do not believe in the fiction of the "moderate Muslim" any more than I believe in unicorns. Every alleged "moderate Muslim" turns out to be either a murderous radical (a la Arafat) or not truly Muslim at all (e.g., the Muslim reform movement, which denies core Islamic beliefs).
