Call It What It Is: Islamophobia

National Review ^ | February 24, 2006 | Larry Kudlow

[Paul Ross]

More name-calling to avoid careful analysis.

And let's be real careful to disregard what the 'low-level' professionals in the Coast Guard warned about...and then got over-ruled by the more-PoliticallyCorrect Brass Hats in the Chain of Command...who "addressed" those insoluble, unmanageable security concerns.

Oh so convincingly. Based on DWP's "strong assurances."

I feel better now.

Don't you?

[Paul Ross]

I haven't found Kudlow's articles even a reasonable facsimile of conservativism over the last 7 years.

[ottersnot]

Maybe, I certainly don't support much of Carter's policy with Russia, Iran, Rhodesia (Zimbabwe), Cuba, Nicaragua etc..

I don't find much to like in Carter's strength through superior appeasement strategies.

"If recognizing the truth that these people are sworn to fight against us and kill us is islamophobia then call me an islamophobe"

What would US call the Islamic who hate US citizens?? "USphobes","EverybodynotIslamphobe", "US/Israel/ChristianPhobe", "AnyonewhoDisagreeswithIslamPhobe",
"IslamCantGetAlongwithOthersPhobe" "AnyReligionNOTIslamphobe"?

Easy. Islamic.

Their religion commands them to fight against us.

"The Nazis persecuting the Jews had EVERYTHING to do with religion - they were persecuted because they were Jews, duh!'

Not correct. It was ethnic cleaning. None practicing Jews were exterminated. There was no option to renounce your religion. Having Jewish parents put you on the list. There was no religious test you could pass/fail.

I'm not big on Canadians either. I wish they would keep out of Florida or be taxed to the gills for the privilege of our sunshine (much like the Bahamas charges US cuisers).

The local joke is that if a waiter gets stiffed you only need to ask, "what part of Canada are you from?"

I'm not so worried about the politics as the fact that they are the cheapest b******ds in the world,IMHO.

"Considering the Department of Homeland Security will still be maintaining security on these ports what is the problem
That is EXACTLY the problem."

No the bigger problem in South Florida re:security is local corruption. People are talking out of their hat. If I was the mod I'd force a visit to a South Florida port as a requirement to post.

"There are French troops fighting in Afghanistan"

A token amount.

Two thousands versus twenty thousand of US troops. France has one fifth of US population so it corresponds to ten thousand of US troops. When you take into account that most of US troops in Afghanistan are in the bases and not in the field the French contingent is not token by any means.

"Their religion commands them to fight "So if their religion tells them to kill everybody, why have they just decided to act on that command? The Islam Religion has been around for hundreds of years. Why now? Maybe it's because their young see what they don't have compared to the rest of the world and they think the rest of the world is cause of their poverty and not their own leaders?

......and my "self perseverance" tells me to fight back!!!!! to kill or be killed....... if I am being attacked...... Do they want to die, guess they do. Well that is one answer, we just have to kill them all if we can't talk some sense into them. The rest of the world is not going to lay down and let them run over them. My two cents worth. They need to change their religion.

And that is the inevitable outcome of all this. The only question left is when, before Jesus comes back or after?

They need to change their religion

Agreed 100%

[twidle]

"The only question left is when, before Jesus comes back or after?"

Hopefully and if God is willing, we will see them coming and get them before they get us, but we may not be able to wait for Jesua to get here. The thought of all that blood shed makes me sick to my stomach and the waste of human lives. If we could get along we could have some real fun in the Olympics and fashion shows, parades, et al and build a world we could all love and not need to go to Heaven but have fun in current world. Something to Pray for. Killing each other seems to be more fun. Even if everybody in world is Islam, someone will always disagree and they would then have to kill one another. EX. Sunnis and Shiites differences.

So in a few years if Islamics don't succeed at conquoring the world for Islam , we will have them all in cages wondering when to execute them for murdear and mayhem or will we have to try them one at a time and do a Prisoner Exchange with the few left who have ability to get along with the rest of the world.
