Yes, it is ridiculous but some here can't deal with anything other than black and white ergo in their minds all Muslims are terrorists.
That’s NOT what they said, that’s what Chertoff implied.
We all know liberals can think in all those colors, coz’ they’re so special and smart.
Your statement is as ridiculous as those you intend to criticize. Let's go back to basics. All non Muslims are under attack by evil Muslims that want to convert you, subdue you, or kill you. These are the only choices they will allow you. In the aggregate these are the only choices our civilization is allowed. The practitioners of this evil; dress as civilians, act as civilians, and hide among civilians. The evil ones will break any law, tell any lie, and practice any subterfuge, and kill, wound or maim anyone or anything that is not Muslim. Indeed even Muslims that do not believe as they do. To perpetuate this activity they hide in Muslim countries and communities around the world. In these communities the evil ones are given aid and comfort while they wage political, economic, and terrorist war against their host countries. In the Muslim communities there is a significant failure to assimilate. IMHO this is because Islam is as much a political movement as a religion. Thus, the Muslim community often represents a foreign colony in their host countries. The center of these colonies activities are the Mosques. In the Muslim communities one will find a significant number of innocents, fine decent people you would be proud to call friends. You will also find inactive sympathizers that may generally agree with the evil ones but do not participate in support or violent activities. Then we have the active sympathizers that support the evil ones in all number of ways such as but not limited to; money, food, intelligence, safe housing, psi ops, political attacks, recruitment etc. Then we have the active participants that engage in violent attacks and intimidation. The real problem, we cannot easily and conclusively identify any of these people. Heck, following 9/11, GWB pronounced Islam a religion of peace in the presence of a Muslim leader that had previously campaigned in support of Hizbollaugh and against Israeli and America. So it is not unreasonable for host countries to expect the Muslim communities to help ferret out and report the evil ones in their midst. And this has happened but not as frequently as I believe it should. Further, I believe Muslim communities should actively fight this evil in their midst. Both philosophically and physically. This is beginning to happen in Iraq but otherwise I see scant evidence of it occurring anywhere else. I think many that advocate deportation or call "all Muslims traitors" understand the above but see no need to restate the facts because they are obvious to anyone paying attention. Their position as I see it is to remove the evil and its support structure from our midst before the problem becomes life threatening to the nation. Not necessarily fuzzy thinking or a ridiculous argument. Especially since our enemy will not follow the rules of war. Good night. Morning comes early for old men.
