When the media spreads Islamic propaganda and "false images" for 60+ years, and the Imams and Madrasses go unchallenged, this is what you get. The chickens have come home to roost.

Islamic communities belong in Islamic countries.

Not traitors? Whatever happened to a fellow in Norway named Quisling?

Islamofascists are traitors.

Muslims are not, neccesarily.

The Anglo-American strategy, quite wisely, is to distinguish between the two.

The Islamofascist strategy is to blur the difference.

Whose interest do "Islam is evil" posts serve?

Sufiism is a sect of Islam, about as representative of it as Quakerism is of Christianity. I think he was draw to it because it incorporates certain elements of Christian monasticism.

Islamic-influenced rap and hip-hop and, further back in time, jazz.

First time I've heard this crap. I thought I knew something about the African roots of American music. Did I miss that the Africans were influenced by Islamists?

Being a traitor involves the fact that at one point you had to declare loyalty to the government in question or by birth.

Most muslims were never loyal to begin with.

Disnguishing between the two is like distinguishing between the Nazis and the German industrialists who fed on Nazism.

I've read this article a couple of times.

Conclusion: This guy makes me want to puke just a little bit. It was interesting to learn about Rumi ("rummy?") though, it seems that the domestic traitors in our country buy a lot of poetry books.

"[The Muslim Community] is the youngest community in the country, half of it under the age of 25 — with all the energy, enthusiasm and inexperience that one might expect — and it’s one of the poorest and most socially marginalised."

Would it be too Un-PC of me to remind us that [The Muslim Community] has always been and will always be a breeding ground for islamofascism whether located in the UK or anywhere else in the world?

Today’s history test:

a. Superman
b. Jay Leno
c. Harry Potter
d. A Muslim male extremist between ages 17 and 40

2. At the 1972 Munich Olympics, athletes were massacred by:
a. Olga Corbett
b. Sitting Bull
c. Arnold Schwarzenegger
d. Muslim male extremists between ages 17 and 40

a. Lost Norwegians
b. Elvis
c. A tour bus full of 80-year-old women
d. Muslim male extremists ages 17 to 40

4. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up (killing 241 marines) by:
a. A pizza delivery boy
b. Pee Wee Herman
c. Geraldo Rivera
d. Muslim male extremists ages 17 to 40

5. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by:
a. The Smurfs
b. Davey Jones
c. The Little Mermaid

6. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed over Lockerbie, Scotland by:
a. Scooby Doo
b. The Tooth Fairy
c. Mr. Bean
d. Muslim male extremists ages 17 to 40

7. The World Trade Center was bombed the first time in 1993 by:
a. Richard Simmons
b. Grandma Moses
c. Michael Jordan
d. Muslim male extremists 17 to 40

8. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by:
a. Mr. Rogers
b. Hillary Clinton
c. World Wrestling Federation
d. Muslim male extremists 17 to 40

9. On 9/11/2001, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to destroy the World Trade Centers, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was crashed by the passengers, killing thousands of people: The hijackers were:
a. Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd and friends
b. The Supreme Court of Florida
c. Eight 75 year old grandmothers
d. Muslim male extremists 17 to 40

10. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by:

Any questions? ;)

Shame on you, you're profiling! /s

That can never be posted too many times. I think about it every time I've flown and gotten searched, me, a middle-aged, gray-haired little old lady.

The burning desire to protect the weak and defenceless against the might of modern aerial bombing blurs fine moral distinctions about collateral damage.

He outs himself as a moral equivocator in the penultimate paragraph. He refuses to understand that the WOT is about us trying to protect the weak and defenceless against the might of passenger-jet impacts - we didn't start this thing, but we will finish it.

BTW I am disturbed that this deeply, deeply gay article appeared in the UK Spectator. For shame Boris Johnson (editor).
