" In the last few days, several free market and other conservative commentators -- along with various U.S. governmental spokesmen -- have taken to labeling those of us with reservations concerning the Dubai Ports World (DPW) deal as nativist, racist or Islamophobic." read more here: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Commentary/com-3_1_06_TB.html

It's late in the game people! Where do you think this is all headed? I for one think the days of appeasement are over. Prepare.

So I'm "islamophobic" if I have a profound mistrust of some whiny @sshole with a rag on his head?

So what's your point?

Just like the old saw, "It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you," it's not islamophobia if they really are out to get us!

Your Doctor just diagnosed you as normal. So what's the problem?

Sorry, but we are still in the days of appeasement. I don't what it will take - apparently thousands and thousands of dead, slaughtered, beheaded, murdered, just isn't convincing enough.

Great article BTW.

It is just politics. Nothing real in all that name calling.

If you think the port deal is wrong, you have every right to say so as loud as you want to. You would have to be insane not to be leery of Arab Muslims right now.

What the President's supporters are telling you is they were leery, too and they took percautions to ensure nothing bad would happen. Given what we have seen and know of Islam, you are just fine to disagree and should disagree if that is the way you see it.

I don't know what to think about it but it feels risky to me and at the same time, I can understand how they are trying to befriend the UAE government who is helping with nabbing terrorists. Ann Coulter suggested we thank the UAE with a fruit basket rather than our ports. LOL

You really think the days of appeasement are over? Perhaps you should see how the "international community" is talking about giving Kosovo to the jihadists all while getting on their knees and enjoying their first taste of Dhimmitude.

A phobia indicates fear. I do not have a fear of Islam. I have contempt and hatred.

interesting article, thank you. I was having a conversation with an intellectual earlier today, he was in denial as to the percentages of muslims in countries not thought of a "muslim" countries like the philipines and India. He insisted that India was a hindu country and I had to remind him that the official religion and the percentile of the population were not necessarily the same thing. I told him the near east was going to end up being muslim in sheeps clothing just like the EU and I grieved that our Charlemagne had probably already been aborted. It sounds harsh but life is ...

That's the best and most concise article I've seen on the issue with Islam, and therefore muslims!

Michael Savage is the only talk show host talking about this now. The others are all on "the port deal is good", band wagon.

My doctor is a Hindu from India. I should ask him his opinion of Muslims.
