Heh. They want to deplore the way people perceive Muslims as terrorists, and they go for a quote to CAIR, which was founded by Hamas terrorists, has had three or four executives jailed or deported for terrorism, and which is funded by the same Saudi financiers who support Al-Qaeda terrorism, like Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

That's like saying "public perception of Nazis is unfairly negative... all they want is to make the trains run on time, according to spokesman Josef Goebbels."

CAIR has yet to make an unambiguous break with terrorism. So basically, this story is, "terrorists don't like being called terrorists." Boo freakin' hoo.

d.o.l.

If the things are of the opinion that it's safe to openly express their vile beliefs around nonmoslems, then this is a VERY bad sign. It means they feel victory is near, so there's no longer any need to conceal their true feelings.

"They were handcuffed"

Not handcuffed, lying propagandists.

"Because basically what you just did was show me how the German people allowed what happened to the Jews to happen"

Sorry Jack but even my feeble US education taught me that 1930's Jews weren't flying Jets into the Weirmacht or setting off nail bombs in streudel parlours. Self preservation is a heavy instinct and put a yankee in a corner and start poking him with a stick and you'll long regret that ugly stump you've got where your arm used to be. A piece of advice, get between a lioness and her cub and it doesn't really matter that you had the best of intentions and were totally innocent, my bad, not at fault. You will be hamburger helper because sometimes the stakes are too high to worry about soritng out the bad from the stupid and you just hope you can whack the mole fast and hard enough to insure that you'll spend the night with your family.

There are plenty of peaceful Muslims. Would you round them up simply for their religion? I admit some of them are doing very evil things, but does that justify treating all Muslims like criminals?

Re-phrasing Goebbels, whenever I hear the words "party line" , my hand itches for a pistol.

Fear and distrust? Why do they always say fear? It ain't fear, it's loathing and distrust.

"The level of knowledge is very, very low," said Mohamed Esa, a U.S. Muslim of Arab descent who teaches a course on Islam at McDaniel College in Maryland.

Another day in the life of "Immigrant knows best".

That would be illegal, immoral, and impractical. Hopefully you aren't serious.

Start carrying a small bag of pork rinds and a coke on the way home. Just munch and smile.

He starts to wiggle too much, just take a good swig of coke and let out a good belch.

a quarter of more than 1,000 Americans in a Gallup poll said they would not want to live next door to a Muslim

Muslims would be an improvement compared to some neighbors I have now. Al Sadr and all his wives and children would be an improvement in one case.

About 1% terrorists, 2% terrorist supporters, 96% think islam is the only true religion and support the first 3% by inaction while the remaining 1% is on the other's death list.

Q. So just when are the moderate muslims going to rat out their religion?

A. Never, they are the 96%.

"There are 1.3 billion Muslims in the world and some people think they are all terrorists."

I say there are 6 billion people on earth, and most terrorists are muslims.

The first statement may or may not be false. The second is certainly true.

I have never heard of Jerry Klein, but evidently he has heard of Borat, whose M.O. he is emulating, but without the broad humor. What he did is called entrapment, and it is odious whether he does it or Law Enforcement does it.
I am glad he did it though, because it DOES show just how deeply runs the mistrust and discomfort we have for very good reason about Muslims.He compounded that mistrust by introducing the scenario of internment into his show by legitimizes the very things he turns around and blames his listeners for "ratifying". If possible, I would like to e mail him with a full analysis of what I think of his "hoax", and dare him to read it on air. I am not shocked by anything quoted from his listeners. After all, it's just words. With the Islamists, it's not just words---they put it into action every single day all around the planet Earth.
