Shoebat is a top notch speaker. I'm inclined to think it's a misquote. Even so, misspeaking isn't an unforgivable offense.

FR software did not allow me to only excise the Gannett portion of your post. That's just the way it works.

Golda Meir said it best when she said "There will be peace when the arabs learn to love their children more than they hate the Jews."

"Allah bless America"
They utter this profanity and think they can masquerade as EX-terrorists?


Th full quote is "We should raise our flag, our American flag, and say, Allah bless America" I certainly think that's better than chanting Allahu Akbar while cutting off the head of an infidel. While saying "God Bless America" would have been more traditional, I liken what he said to myself saying "May the Lord bless America" or "May Christ bless America."

It could very well be a misquote, and I'm familiar with the Meir quote he seems to be paraphrasing. I'm just familiar with his (frequent) warnings to westerners about the futility of appeasement or negotiation with the terrorist mindset, and so when I read it, I could see him making that statement in that context, especially in front of a crowd of appeasers.

Yes, I read the full quote. Everyone has, it's in the article.

The myth of the good Muslim and the bad Muslim is just that.

The event's purpose was to educate the campus community about the dangers of Muslim extremism, not promote intolerance, Boyd said in an interview before the speeches.

In that sense the protestors helped....with their demostration...of intolerance.

They certainly showed their ignorance. I saw one studen on FOX this morning. He said that they weren't believable because we would never allow a former terrorist into the country. Apparently he isn't aware of the taliban spokesman with a Yale scholarship.

Intolerant tolerant university students. Imagine that.

You may have read the full quote, but to respond as if only that part of the statement was made is intellectually dishonest. I think that there are good muslims and bad muslims. Just like there are good and bad Christians, Jews, etc.

The difference is, as I see it, the majority of good Christians and Jews speak out against the bad ones, while Muslims don't. This one does.

There are far too few but the last thing I'm going to do is attack the first one I find. Irshad Manji is another excellent moderate muslim speaker. She's a liberal and a lesbian but she also happens to be right about islam and terrorism.

I think we are going to have to let Canada have Michigan pretty soon.

Bite your tongue! They can only take Jenny back, and Levin and Conyers. Oh, and Detroit. There, that works.

"We will have peace when we love our children more than we love peace."

That's basically echoing the call of Jihad. Isn't it said all the time that parents will do anything for their children? Which in their case includes killing all infidels?

Weird that I pointed that out.

That isn't what I did. That's a lie. The entire context is right there.

So you think there are good Muslims? Tell me then why they belong to a death cult.
