The only people in the original doctored picture were our wonderful President Ronald Reagan and Ann Coulter wearing a blue dress. This is the danger when conducting a GOOGLE image search without really examining the pictures for modifications.

However, for some Marines who are of the Islamic faith, the war in Iraq hits a personal note. Cpl. Mohammed N. Rahman, who is a Sunni Muslim, fights not only to free the people of Iraq from the insurgents grip and to protect his country (America), but also to redeem his beloved religion.
“This is a personal offense, not only to me but others who share my faith,” said the 23-year-old infantryman with 2nd Platoon, Company L. “The insurgents have scarred the image of my religion.”
I'm sure it wasn't intentional by the original poster, so I'm glad it was removed without difficulty! What a fantastic person we had gracing the Oval Office during those years. President Reagan will go down in history as one of the truly great ones.

Without the ethnic profiling going on outside of airports, no security procedure currently permissible inside airports would have prevented a terrorist attack that would have left thousands dead.
Guys .... sheesh ......
Sadly it is he who has the mistaken impression of his religion. He's the exception to the widely applicable rule that Muslims either are, support, or make excuses for terrorists.
That's for darn sure indeed!!!! I wish every Pres. could be a clone of RWR, but alas now I'm asking for a miracle now am I.......HMMMMMMMM how about George Allen..........
I've long felt that a traditional hijacking of an airliner has "gone the way of the dodo bird" at this point. Anyone who jumps to their feet with evil intent will be beaten to the consistency of warm oatmeal by fellow passengers. It is pointless to restrict things like little penknives from the cabin. We need to screen people more than we screen things.

Bravo, Ann!
I agree - couldn't help but thinking of Bubba though. I suppose that's a permanent part of his legacy we'll never forget.
Reagan always entered the Oval Office wearing a suit out of respect for the great occupants of White House who had been there before him.
Can we ever think of it in the same way? As Rush refers to it now in his inimitable way -- the Oval Oriface.
re: 24
Hey, I have that pic saved also. Great people!!
I don't see and end to this without some mushroom clouds over some sandy areas. 10 years form now we will still be messin with this crap if we don't do something about it. My dad always taught me how to handle the playground bully was to bust him in the nose. If he was still standing, you bust him again. He will remember that you didn't let him get away with his foolishness afterward. Can anyone figure why nobody messes with China or Russia? They don't give a fig what the NYT or the UN thinks. They would give lead poisoning to some of the Imam's over there, and they would shut up.
"how about banning muslims from airplanes?
Let their countries buy and use their own planes ,they got plenty of money . Keep them off our aircraft entirely.
That is a kind of profiling that will work."
That would be 'racial profiling' and the ACLU will not hear of it. We will be doomed however if we do NOT RACIAL PROFILE.
The ability to fly in a commercial jetliner is not a right, it is a privilege. Revoking this privilege for this group is the only way to prevent them from blowing up airliners period. Ban muslims, not deodorant.
When (if) muslims ever become civilized at some point in the future, they could be welcomed back into a free society with flight privileges. Til they are, I do not intend to fly. Only when all non muslims refuse to fly with them will these horrors end. A complete boycott of flying will get the airline industries' and govt's attention that we are fed up with their silly bogus security measures.
While they walk right through the security gate with their "liquid" in their pockets.
Great, then they can have a plane load full of terrorists that don't have to hijack it to fly it onto a building, they'll all be willing participants.
To make your idea work, you would have to restrict "Mulsim Air" to muslim countries. Muslims flying muslims to muslim lands ONLY.
I don't have a problem with that.
:o)
I can't believe no one's commented on the funniest and truest sentence in the article:
"We don't know the details of the British intelligence work that nabbed the 24 Muslims because The New York Times has not been able to obtain that classified information and publish it on its front page yet."
Nobody does it better than Ann Coulter.
