I supose you also believe that tens of thousands turn out because they really love to hear Castro ramble on ?
"And why don’t the real practitioners of the religion of peace condemn the supposed “hijackers” of their religion? Why the deafening silence? "
Gee, could it be that the people in power have no problem cutting off the head of folks that don't agree with them ?
"We KNOW who remained silent in the US when they could have easily come out and condemned the attack. They chose not to, and they are being judged by that silence. "
Lets see, one faction here is upset when they didn't speak out, another faction wants to strip the citizenship from and deport ALL muslims.
On the other thread here a citizen simply wore a headscarf and admitted to going to a religious conference and was singled out by HER government for "special treatment".
Sure, thats really conducive to making you want to poke your head up.

"Why on earth should the rest of us put up with it?"
Well, exactly. We rightfully comdemn and shun Nazism for much less. When is the last time a media pundit or politiican said we had a duty to "understand" Adolph Hoitler's followers?
We outlaw groups which advocate violent overthrow of the government, and justifiably so. The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact. Yet we are preached about tolerance and acceptance of a group which advocates the violent overthrow of Western Civilization, our government included.
Makes NO sense. None at all. Dressing it in the trappings of some primitive superstition does not confer immunity from conforming to the laws of civilization.
"It's a point of law from Roman times right down to the present day that SILENCE GIVES CONSENT."
Well said, and thanks for the ping.
The Muslims who refuse to speak out against Islamic terror stand with the terrorists in this war and should be treated as such.
These Muslims are not our friends, they are not our allies, they are not the religion of peace. They are our enemies.
Like GWB said, "If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists."
Muslims, you have a choice. If you choose poorly, dont start whining if you're convicted with treason.
"Gee, could it be that the people in power have no problem cutting off the head of folks that don't agree with them ?"
Th ones who live here have no such worry. They are silent because they sympathize with OBL.
If one believes the title of the article is true and also believes the "Muslim minority" (terrorists and their supporters) is a problem, that seems to result in a more condensed statement:
Something about being a Muslim is the problem.
You just put your finger on the evil. Even the members of this cult FEAR the other members. I wonder if they worry that their own children might turn them in to the Islamofascist leaders. history repeats.
Actually what makes me come backto these threads is seeing you use silly arguments like the Miranda warning in a case where all that was being asked for was that a certain group condemn a crime that no one accused them of being directly involved in, but that others in their 'faith' were.
As for popping up, I DO have other things to do even if you don't. Some of us do not go around all day wondering what evil 'plot' the government is hatching to remove our liberties.
When you wish to dicuss an issue on its merits --ping me. That seems unlikely as you seems unwilling to rationally discuss anything, so why bother wasting time even trying. I seem to remember that the previous thread dealt with the CBP having information that they felt warranted checking people out. If she fits the bill of those they need to search---too bad for her. Others have been searched at borders and airports for lesser reasons and they didn't complain.
Your worry about people being beheaded, while that is often true in Iran and Saudi Arabia; What danger is there of that happening HERE in the US? There is nothing to prevent them from speaking out in this country if they wish--remember the First Amendment? Your argument doesn't hold water.
Why don't you go back in your bunker and stew in your The- Constitution-is-in-danger conspiracies.
Only if you're ready to pass out.
ME: "It's a point of law from Roman times right down to the present day that SILENCE GIVES CONSENT."
YOU: "LOL ... "You have the right to remain silent....""
It is at your own ignorance that you laugh... ignorantly. "Silence gives consent" IS a point of law in this nation. The right to remain silent only applies to self-incrimination in questioning and testimony. Keep talking aobut the rules of law, which you do not understand, if you want to keep making a fool of yourself.
My (adult) daughter and I had a conversation about whether or not a Muslim could become preident of the United States. I said no, because a true Muslim could not put his hand on the Bible and swear to uphold a Constitution which prohibits the establishment of A RELIGION. Which is of course their ultimate goal. Were a Muslim to become president, we would no longer be the United States of America under the Constitution.
There's only two things wrong with your theory:
1. The Koran teaches the Muslims it's OK to lie to infidels
2. The Muslim would be a politician, and the Book of Politicians teaches them it's OK to lie to the people.
"in a case where all that was being asked for was that a certain group condemn a crime that no one accused them of being directly involved in, but that others in their 'faith' were. "
Dont back off now - you WERE condemning them for remaining silent, were you not ?
You ARE accusing them of being in agreement with and in support of those actions of others by their silence.
"Silence gives consent" IS a point of law in this nation.
Link please -
Stragely enough, just because you pronounce something ( even twice ) dosen't make it so.
"1. The Koran teaches the Muslims it's OK to lie to infidels"
Taken out of context -
The only passage that seems to apply is one that says it's OK to lie IF it saves you from them harming you.
