An Islamic speaks out (article by Burt Prelutsky)
Townhall.com ^ | September 25, 2006 | Burt Prelutsky

Recently, I posted a piece "Jihad This!" in which I stated that the time for political correctness had long since passed and that, at least so far as I was concerned, America’s entire Muslim population was suspect. For one thing, large numbers of them continued to wire funds to terrorist organizations even after 9/11, and instead of speaking out against their fellow Islamics or placing a reward on Osama bin Laden’s head, they bellyache about racial profiling.

Frankly, I expected that a lot of people were going to take me to task for denouncing millions of our fellow Americans. That didn’t happen. In fact, only one person, a Muslim living in England, took strong objection to the piece...

My gosh, ES, is every single one of them insane?

If that man's opinion is that of the average Joe Muslim, then it would seem we had better be prepared to start blowing more stuff up. Cause it is us or them.

It's either Moslem or islamist. It isn't islamic, that is an adjective. It could be islamicist, which would be a non-moslem enraptured with Islam.

I agree, in this way. It doesn't entitle them to be Americans, i.e. illegals. And sadly it doesn't mean that because they are here they want to try to be like Americans, whether legalized or not - you know, assimiliate. And for those who don't assimilate, who reject Americanisms, we hardly consider them 'Americans'.

Quite different from the time when my grandparents immigrated. They wanted to be naturalized, they wanted to be Americans, while retaining 'old country' traditions, yet assimilating Americanisms.
