"this deal was vetted and reviewed by every major security agency in the US government, and after that review DPO was found to be acceptable."

The whole issue was done in "secret"! Bush knew he was in deep yogurt by not putting the ports out for public bid. Isn't that how business of this size is handled?? Only one (1) bidder? Illegal isn't it??

Dubai Ports World is not a security threat. And the UAE is a friend.

That may be.

But Islamophobia is well founded. Anyone who doesn't have it doesn't realize what's happening.

The UAE being an Islamic country has everything to do with my opposition.

Have you ever read the Koran? When it justifies lying to infidels, that alone undermines any basis for trust on any level. Oh, but these are moderate Muslims, you say?

How do you know they aren't lying? It's cool with allah, you know.

No, they haven't read the Koran. That's the problem here. Just as they quote the Bible but haven't read it either, they think that the generalizations about both that they've heard over the years suffice for an indepth and solid understanding of them.

For bizarre and unfathomable reasons NRO seems to be covering up for the Longshoreman's union propagandists that fed the "newsies" the original stories.

Basically some "terminals" are being sold.

The ONLY people who are directly affected by this are the buyer, the seller, and the longshoremen.

I like the latest idiot egalitarian meme - "Islamophobia."

It's quite charming, really, considering that it seems to have been borrowed from the one group of people the Islamic lunatics would like to flay alive.

As well, for anyone to call someone an "anti-islamic bigot" simply for reacting to writings within the Koran that do nothing more than pave the way for militant Islamic activities against persons and things non-muslim is the height of arrogance and ignorance.

You know I never knew we had so many people on here that degrees in relgious studies. All these Islam experts. Face it people most of us are Christians on here and alot of misunderstand everyone elses Christiana beliefs and we live in the same country and usually have friends in those respective Christian beliefs. I am not buying because a few verses come out of the Koran that the whole Islamic tribe is a bunch of liars and killers

Fine. I am Islamophobic. But just because I am paranoid does not mean they're not out to get me, to get you and to get everyone else who will either refuse to submit or fail to conform.

"Islamophobia"? I guess we're down to desperation time.

Another name for it is Cultural Marxism or political correctness. Soon anyone speaking ill of an Arabic nation or disagreeing with them will be labeled a bigot and shunned. Old trick the DEMs have used for decades.

Okay, one way to get away from throwing around epithets is to agree that all American infrastructure should be owned and managed by Americans. That includes nuclear facilities, airports, and also seaports. No Arabs, but also no Brits.

The Nazis also said the Jewish religion was inherently violent and hostile to civilized society - sort of like what certain bigots on this thread are saying now about Islam.

Hahahahahaha. Yup, islam the religion of peace. They wouldn't harm a fly. Don't trip over all the heads rolling across the floor. lololol

"The whole issue was done in "secret"! "

When was this secret first revealed to the world?

Well in the middle is something called common sense and the real world. It lies between all arabs and Islamic folk are untrustworthy and they are all Saints. It real life like anything else not political correctness.
