The Case of the Mysterious Disappearing Religion

Big Government ^ | 5/4/10 | Monica Crowley

[pissant]

We awake to news that after extraordinary police work, investigators have made an arrest in the attempted car bombing of Times Square in New York. Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani native-turned-naturalized-U.S.-citizen, was taken into custody late last night. He was naturalized last year, and shortly thereafter, made a trip to Peshawar, Pakistan–a hotbed of Islamic terrorist activity and recruitment.

I have read countless reports about the arrest, in newspapers and websites big and small. So far, I have not seen a single mention of his faith. Not a single reference to his being Muslim. We’re left to deduce that by his Pakistani ethnicity and name.

Political correctness has stripped us of our ability to be brutally honest about the nature of the threat we face. It’s not from a bunch of maniacal Catholics or Jews or Hindus or Buddhists. The lethal threat is coming from radical Muslims. Even after September 11, even after repeated terror attacks and attempts here and abroad, we still cannot be truthful and outspoken about it? Pathetic.

This suicidal inability to call the enemy what it is comes straight from the top: the President will not go anywhere near the words “Islam” and “terror” together. His administration has contorted itself into all kinds of politically correct gymnastics to avoid making the connection, going so far as to term acts of terror as “manmade disasters” and the fight against it as “overseas contingency operations.”

Damned Pakistani Amish...

The problem.
Islam is at War with the United States, Christians, and most civilized peoples.
The United States, most Christians and many civilized peoples refuse to accept that and refuse to acknowledge it.

I left off a tag and didn't see it until I posted .. important sentence after .. "We'd better get louder about it")

Not radical Muslims, brother ... it is Islam itself.

Allah is Satan and we'd better get louder about it.

And if one of us loses his head ... we'd better be willing to take one of theirs ... and immediately, too.

We SAY this is war, but we act like it's a Monopoly game ... waiting 'til you have all three, or more money before you build.

Damnit ... when I got hit in the schoolyard, I hit back ... immediately.

Won't go near Islam? Isn't this him and his prayer rug over in a special West-wing room?

[expatpat]

Doesn’t matter. Everyone knows that the Pakis are almost 100% Muslim.

[Semperfiwife]

And the ladies of the media also are loathe to say anything bad about Muslim terrorists, even to the point of not wanting the present terrorist to be anything but Middle Eastern (please, please let it be a rightwing nut job). I guess they think they won’t be forced to wear a burqa or into female genital mutilation or not be able to drive or....the list goes on. These ladies have no idea these terrorist would cut their heads off for little to no reason.

An amber stain in the undies?

Many failed to get a proper education as to why the islamics refer to us collectively as crusaders, infidels, khaffirs, amongst other names. Some of that education came from Church on Sundays.

But, alas, today we have a muslim leader who wants to reframe the truth hiding behind claims of racism. This leader is pandering to global muslim opinion. Today its not appropriate for the government to tell the truth neither as they will not allow islamic & terrorists to be conjugated. How on earth can you deal with the issue when you promote the denial of what is going on and delete truthful concepts which are used to describe it?

Where is the freedom of speech...and freedom of truth even if it is to protect America?

[calex59]

Damnit ... when I got hit in the schoolyard, I hit back ... immediately.

So did I.

[knarf]

And that's what pisses me off.

I .. we .. a LOT of us we ... learned to retaliate immediately. It got straightened out in the principal's office or after school, but it GOT straightened out, and usually I walked away with respect for the other or he with me.

America IS lost if bad men are only by speciel gov't sanction (SEALS etc) and not the everyday warrior.

That WAS the greatest generation ... a bunch ... a whole great BIG bunch o'guys, that didn't take $h!t from a school kid and damned sure didn't take $h!t from the enemy.
