lol yeah, attempting to think of anything that makes islam look good by comparison, is futile, merely an exercise in proving islam is absolute evil.

All are fallible men. Bush needs to fight the invasion on our own shores. But he won't.

You never pass up an opportunity to take cheap pot shots at great conservative Americans. This time Reagan and Wayne are your targets. LOL Not a very patriotic example for the 4Th of July.

OTOH, you’d vote for the liberal Rudy Giulaini. That about sums up your politics. You’re no conservative.

Lets see. The poster brought up the comparison. I responded with the truth. Truth is part of Freedom and Freedom of course is conservatism.

You're no conservative.

How blind.

We have a Commander in Chief fighting a war on terror and here on the 4th of July on a great conservative forum, he gets stabbed in the back.

If he was throwing babies into the street and running over them with a truck, then maybe he would be making Muslims look good by comparison.

Apparently you didn't watch the film. The guy couldn't have done a better propaganda flick.

Well, actually, no. Muslims have done worse than that many times over but it would be a closer comparison.

As if I didn't know. Look, just because I accuse someone who despises Muslims of poor tactics, doesn't mean I like the Muslim religion. Read the tag line. Got it now?

These Muslims look good to you? If we looked at the fruits of men, instead of their rhetoric and appearance, we would see more clearly and would not be deceived so easily.

If you read a post for what it says instead of what you want to think it means, then clearly you would not have been mistaken. This idiot was fueling the means to convince the sheeple that Muslims are peaceful folk, even when provoked. That's tactically stupid.

Yes, we should be nicer and more polite else we will be thought of poorly when compared to Muslims.

As if I care.

Bush simply has decided to act like his father, James Baker, and all the country club Republicans who think diplomacy, soothing feelings and making PC statements will actually defeat murderers. He could have urged the so called moderates to stand up and stand with the West against Islamofascism. He could have urged the moderates to help in educational efforts and foreswear the maddrasses even here in the USA via Detroit, NYC, Balt.,Philly, Denver. But, he did not. Hopefully, Rudy, Mitt or Fred will. No Dem will since they don’t think Islamofascism is an evil. Of course, they don’t think anything is evil except Pubs, Christians, conservs or Global Warming.

Muslims are building mosques in Great Britain and the United States. Are Christians and Jews safe to build churches and synagogues in Saudi Arabia? I think the answer is no - and that answer should not be acceptable. Several Muslim nations need to be reformed or abolished. To the extent that Islam condones and demands such practices as death for apostasy, terrorist acts against civilians, “honor killings,” and stoning to death for (female) adultery, Islam needs to be reformed or abolished.

I think the President has done well in Afghanistan and Iraq. He has given many fine speeches. But he does confuse me. It is almost like he switched parties after the midterm elections. Maybe he wants to go with a winner.

Ah, you sound like a democrat. Congradulations, you’ve come full circle. Now you can join Cindy Sheehan and Michael Moore.

Good old liberal pals... that have a lot in common with you.

Greenhouse rock theory:

“public figures don’t throw rocks in greenhouses”

There is the greenhouse gas theory, but that is on another thread.

Yes, lets not make cartoons of moho, or sing the National Anthem, because it might make the enemy even angrier. Just do as they say. I see your point now, thanks.

"Naïveté in grownups is often charming; but when coupled with vanity it is indistinguishable from stupidity." ~ Eric Hoffer

Perhaps you find those to be harsh words for a woman who ranks second in the line of presidential succession, following Vice President Dick Cheney. A woman who is foolish and naive enough to think that by donning a "hijab" in an Islamic country that she is merely showing respect for her hosts. She isn't.

What Nancy Pelosi fails to understand is that by donning the hijab she is not showing respect for the culture of her hosts. From remote villages to cosmopolitan mega cities, women all across the world, from every ethnic background, wear the hijab. The hijab is not a "cultural thing". The hijab has nothing to do with culture, it has everything to do however with Islam.

In the alternative, perhaps Nancy Pelosi is naive enough to think that she is showing respect for the religious beliefs of her hosts. She isn't. No two Islamic scholars will argue that the wearing of the hijab is not based on a woman's respect or submission to man, but rather on the woman's submission to the will of Allah.

The wearing of the hijab is explicitly written about in the Quran, and what the Islamic world and her Arab hosts see is a malleable and naive woman, who happens to be the second in line of presidential succession submitting herself to the will of Allah and the religious tenets of Islam.

This is not a simple faux paus by an ignorant American that will soon be forgotten on the Arab Street or in the Islamic world. The phantasmagorical image of what is seen to be nothing more that America's congressional and political leadership's submission to the will of Allah work only to substantiate the position of the Islamic extremists by rekindling the prophecies of Al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. And so, whatever Nancy Pelosi thinks that she is doing or has to say in her defense really becomes irrelevant. The damage is already done.

What message does Nancy Pelosi have for the women who have been struggling for their rights in the Islamic world? Women who have been beaten and in some cases killed for refusing to wear the chador or hijab?

The irreputable damage to our nation's efforts to combat Islamic extremism aside, we find ourselves perplexed wondering just what the purpose of Nancy Pelosi's trip is and deeply troubled to find that her motives amount to what can best be described as nothing more than a coup.

Congressman Tom Lantos, who is a member of the delegation that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi led to Syria, put the mission clearly when he said: "We have an alternative, Democratic foreign policy."

Nancy Pelosi is a Congresswoman, she is not a diplomat, nor is she an employee of our nation's State department or the Executive branch of our government and has no right to dictate or discuss foreign policy with the leaders of other countries.

Our nation is faced with many challenges ahead, and to be a viable nation, we must be able to speak with one voice, our inablity to do so creates a grave risk not only the viablity of nation's foreign policy but to the safety and security of our nation.

yup, exactly. It reminds me of those photos posted on the 419 Baiter websites, those mugus mugging for the camera in humilating costumes and poses, because they believe obedience to the baiter will lead to a payout. Pathetic.

I think the author, Mr. Pipes, is the one who is truly confused. The president’s message has been clear and consistent.
