Two more questions to add to your History Test, please:
1. Who threw a grenade into a camp of "fellow" US Soldiers
and killed 7 of them during the first days of the War in Iraq?
2. Who were members of the Itaska 7?
oh, one more
3. Who deserted the US Marines and fled to Lebanon and currently is on leave in Utah?

We really need more programs dealing with the problem of Buddhist, Hindu, and Christian terrorists blowing themselves and innocent people up, flying planes into skyscrapers, mutilating their daughters, etc. LOL

Can't GW declare CAIR a terrorist support agency and shut em down?They are sneaky, deceitful fiends, skilled at hiding their true intentions. Let us hope that they can be shut down ASAP. They are EXTREMELY dangerous to the success of the War on Terror.

I just posted this thread over at DU. Is Skinner allowing you to do this?
Come on over and lets start some trouble!
I like to think we're above that sort of thing. Of course, I LIKE to think that.

Gee...what will the CAIR droids say when the next 9/11 documentary airs? That it "unfairly portrays Muslims as terrorists" too? Here's a little suggestion to America's Muslims: don't lie down with dogs and you won't get up with fleas. If you don't like being portrayed as terrorists and terrorist sympathizers, then kick the rotten bastards out of your damned mosques and quitcherbitchen. It won't matter to CAIR, since they are merely a front for IslamoFascism. They use an army of corrupt lawyers (essentially paid assassins in $3000 suits) to further their evil agenda to sabotage the War on Terror.

Walks like duck, quacks like a duck...
Sterotypes are not invented from thin air. They are visual/verbal charicatures of reality slightly embelished to communicate a point.
Had fanatical muslims not terrozied the planet and killed innocent people since - what - about 550AD, I wouldn't think of them as godless killers. Call me a fool, 1400+ years of history is a trend in my book.

Islam has only spread by terror, mass murder, and intimidation since its founding. What we are experiencing is nothing new. CAIR is simply bringing the terrorists into the courthouses of the USA, attempting to use our own laws to kill and enslave us.

"The Fox television network said on Thursday it will provide its stations with TV spots that portray Muslims in a favorable way after it received complaints for featuring followers of Islam as terrorists on its hit television show "24."
"NBC, CBS, and ABC today promised to portray NAZIs, Fascists and Japanese Imperialists in a more positive light due to criticisms of their portrayals of Auschwitz, Buchenwald, the Rape of Nanking and the Bataan Death March as representative of all NAZIs, Fascists, and Japanese Imperialists."
Maybe they should have done this back in the 1940's.

"For what reason would you conclude that I favor abortion?"
I did not conclude that; I rather supposed you didn't. Nor do most Muslims or Arabs support terrorism. However, since you were slamming Muslims and Arabs in general for "uncivilized behavior," I thought it proper to point out that there are other demographic groups which, collectively, are guilty of far worse. Perhaps it would appropriate to save the pejorative rhetoric for individuals who actually support murderous behavior rather than applying it to entire ethnic groups.

Until we quit pretending the war on terror is different than a war with Islam we are doomed to failure.
Oddly Islam has no problem declaring war with us. We simply have a hard time believing it and want to pretend it isn't so.

Untrue. Season 2 had Arab terrorists trying to explode a nuke. However, it turned out that evil oil interests within the government knew about the attack and attempted to frame middle eastern regimes in order to get guess what? A war for oil.
Trust Hollywood to turn the enemy into us. I am willing to bet it will happen again this season.
