Terrorism is not exclusive to the Middle East.
Man, this Timothy McVeigh argument has come out a lot in the past couple days. Prior to this week, you only heard left-wing nutjobs using it. The point of this argument----that being from the middle east does not make one more likely to be a terrorist----is ridiculous on its face. How many homegrown, all-American terrorists can you think of? Let me help you out: McVeigh...the Unabomber...that Eric Rudolph guy...wow, now that you mention it, I guess that is just as many terrorists as the Middle East has produced!!
I can't believe so many supposed conservatives have been reduced to using the "USA is a terrorist breeding ground because of McVeigh" argument.
Not twenty minutes ago I made a post with a similar observation. I've never seen so many FReepers defend "moderate" islam before. It's almost comical. In fact, until this port scandal came up I don't think a single FReeper believed that any muslim could be a 'moderate'. Even President Bush is throwing out the liberal tactic of calling the Senate "biased" against muslims. LOL This is getting funny, people are becoming liberal so they can defend a conservative policy.
The point is that the "All Muslims are terrorists" argument is exactly what the Left wants to hear from us. During the 1960's there were plenty of left-wing terrorists blowing up college campuses; the KKK are terrorists. There are also many Muslims living in this country who came here to escape from that part of the world, and who are very proud to be Americans, particularly Iranians.
Bump!
