On one hand, the public is told to wait until we have all the details before rushing to judgement and then on the other hand we have Obama and now this clown rushing to judgement on their own by claiming that Islam is not responsible.
Islam is responsible FRiends. Occam's Razor if you must.
Are their any good muslims in the world or for that matter in the US military, yes of course there are. But you see that is an assertion that concerns the indvidual and not the ideology that they believe in.
There were good people who Nazis during World War 2. That didn't make Nazism right.
The reality we are faced with in the US is that from the CIC on down the United States FEARS offending the religious beliefs of our adversaries - we have failed like many others have in the past to fully recognize that Islam is NOT just a religion - it is a political ideology as well.
If we continue to find ourselves unable to filet the politcial aspects of Islam from the religion then we are doomed. It is political Islam that we are at war with and the sooner we come to that bitter realization the better.
DO NOT believe these idiots who keep saying Islam is not responsible - not a one of them know anything about the religion or the political ideology that encompasses it. Casey sure as hell doesn't and his remarks do more damage than good.
“There were good people who Nazis during World War 2. That didn’t make Nazism right”
You make a good point here, expatguy. There were many Germans during the Second World War who did not want to face the atrocities the government was enacting, preferring to believe that Hitler was going to create order in a Germany that had become chaotic. Islam is a religion of legalistic regulations that appeals to externals. It gives chaotic people a sense of order. (That is why it appeals so much to certain blacks in the prison systerm.) Anyhow, I used to work with a nice Muslim lady who just could not believe that Christians could pray to God at any time or any place. For her to pray, she had to ritually bathe and then praying in and of itself was a ritual. Because it is a religion of form and outward appearance, there are many Muslims who haven’t a clue what it really means. Islam has and always will be an enemy to the Christian world. They are our enemy now, and anyone ascribing to that religion should not be in the United States Armed Services. If they are, then their associations with Muslim houses of worship should be scrutinized. We are at war, and drastic measures should not be winked at.
