Traverse any blog or website geared to Republicans and the Conservative Right here in the United States (such as Free Republic or http://www.freerepublic.com ), and a strange dichotomy becomes evident with regard to Iraq.
First, they talk about every practicing Muslim and everyone of Arab descent as if they were a member of Al Qaeda and an animal. A popular photo on Free Republic shows a Grim Reaper with a skull and proclaims "Islam - It's the Evil of our Time, let's NOT leave it for our children".

Invariably, any discussion of Islam on these websites involves description of Muhammad as a pervert and a pedophile. In almost the same sentence, these people have no problem saying that they support Bush going into Iraq to promote Democracy for the people there. Yes, such wonderful things they and their President want for Iraqis.
Then, in a later thread, which might describe insurgents blowing something up in Iraq, they again continue their diatribe that all Muslims and Arabs are animals and should be killed or 'nuked'.
Queer folk these conservatives. Oops, they are going to be upset I called them Queer given their ridiculous hatred of gays. Ah well, what can one do?
I get the feeling that most Republicans secretly feel this way about Muslims and Arabs. I know President Bush has publicly said that he is not warring against Islam or Arabs, but against Saddam Hussein and the Terrorists, but I have this feeling that he and Uncle Dick say things altogether different in private.
In any case, the Republican electorate is virulently anti-Islam and that is a shame. Most practitioners of Islam that I have had the pleasure to know are wonderful, law abiding and hard working people.
The Iraq war is continuing to evolve into another phase that was predicted by many; anarchy and civil war.
The Shiites, who vastly outnumber Iraq's other two ethnic groups, Sunnis and Kurds, are naturally going to win any fair democratic elections in the country. The Sunnis and Kurds are not going to like this for many reasons among them that both groups are generally less observant of Islamic laws and traditions than the Shiites and the Shiites seem to want to steer Iraq toward fundamentalist Islam.
George Bush may claim (now, since no WMD were found) that he went to war to bring Democracy to the people of Iraq, but the net effect of his actions will likely be a Muslim Theocracy. Women in particular are going to suffer when the country becomes "The Shiite Islamic Republic of Iraq". [Don't forget the Children! --WT]
Democratic elections aren't going to turn out to be a good thing here and the Sunnis and Kurds know it. That is why they are protesting these elections tooth and nail. All the protesting and new elections, if they are able to attain them, will not help Sunnis and Kurds overcome the massive Shiite majority in the country.
Where does this leave us? The Freepers (as they like to call themselves) over at Free Republic deserve credit for some of the wackiest and creepiest (nuke all the people in over several dozen countries? Hello? Any humans on that site?) hypocrisy in history.
And President Bush, who was re-elected by an army of evangelical Christians for being such a “good Christian man” is going to be most remembered for establishing a radical Islamic Republic in Iraq.All of which proves the old axiom, truth is stranger then fiction, particularly when dealing with Republicans.
Authors Bio: Steven Leser is a freelance journalist specializing in Politics, Science & Health, and Entertainment topics.

Similar efforts on other topics to get first hand information from sources separate Mr. Leser from many of his contemporaries.
I would wager more people have read the nutjob's article after it was posted on FR than did before. You've probably trippled traffic to the lunatic website as well.
Kinda sounds like DimunitiveUnderparts, no?

The diachotemy is the result of ignorance and intolerance.
In between the Arab bashing there are posts by several knowledgeable FReepers who have experience with real arab people and post favorable comments.
No amount of knowledge however can overcome the religous intolerance that is the hall mark of the very right.
Well, if you want to consider him a writer, we have to change the expectations....
;o)
And thanks for the pic of the grumpy cat, MEG. Sometimes my cat has that expression.
It's that whole broad-stroke-reckless-generalization-lazy-categorizing they're so used to misusing. And let's not forget how they project THEIR party's traits on us.
While there are some disappointing exaggerations on this site, it's even more astonishing that liberals can't see the pattern. Maybe if they take this little quiz...

Nope, .....I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you? Just because the answer to each question is D.
Nor have I.
Really objective, isn't he. Most real authors base their screeds on facts, not feelings. Oops, he's a liberal, isn't he.
IIRC, I seem to remember that the "Beltway Sniper" reporters (after they could no longer blame this crime on white, Christian "right-wing extremists," of course), had a rough time saying that the name "John Allen Muhammad" when it came up.
Which is why I peg his age at about fourteen. Next month.
Keep posting!
That's what all this uproar was about? Libs get their knickers twisted easily. Thanks for posting it.
This vermin slams FReepers for their views on Islam. In the same article he says that when the practitioners of Islam rule the country after Democratic elections, women and children will be oppressed. Sounds like he doesn't have much faith in Islam either.
Well, some Freepers do swing pretty wildly at whatever target presents itself, and some -- most -- don't. The Left has a problem handling diversity.
-Most practitioners of Islam that I have had the pleasure to know are wonderful, law abiding and hard working people.-
Try dating one of their daughters.
Here's some excerpts of the 'hate mail' they get, pretty good stuff IMO:
The Daily Kos has more legitimacy than this waste of bandwidth.
" ... they talk about every practicing Muslim and everyone of Arab descent as if they were a member of Al Qaeda and an animal."
There certainly are Freepers who talk that way, and it's shameful. Muslims and Arabs are people who need the truth and the blessings of freedom and democracy. Many Arabs and Muslims have shown great courage and nobility.

Steven the Lesser is quite delusional there.
Best part is where he claims that everyone is advocating nuking all Muslims.
It seems that in his haste to get his story by trolling and leaving quickly, he forgot to note that everyone here has their own opinions and not everyone advocates nuking all Muslims.
Of course, such observations are beyond his skill and mental acuity it seems.
*chuckle*
