Despite Obama’s Delusion, Changing The Words Does Not Change The World

It's official now. You cannot use "Muslim extremism" or "Islamic terrorism." Not because the words don't describe a real phenomenon in the world. An ugly phenomenon. And, alas, an abundant phenomenon. But because the president doesn't like the thought. And he certainly doesn't like the religious adjective.

I myself don't mind calling Jewish extremists "Jewish extremists." In fact, calling them Jewish extremists neatly separates the very few from the very many. There are myriad Jewish types: nudniks, for example, of whom there are a lot, and chachomim, of whom there are far fewer, liberals, even radicals, and (now more than ever) conservatives and reactionaries, allrightniks, the pious, the doubters and real Jewish atheists . You can always sit down and argue. Someone might even leave the table in exasperation or, for that matter, in anger. But no one will leave the table vowing to kill you and your sons ... and then proceed to do it and to do it over many generations.

Some libs are finally deciding that they are more concerned about the consequences of appeasing Islamic extremists than they are of Obama’s approval ratings.

Yes, but will the destruction of Israel occur before elections in 2012? Obama hates the Jews and Israel. He is working hard to disconnect the US from Israel. I pray it won’t happen! As a Christian “Zionist,” I love Israel and the Jews, since I was a small child, but I also know that she will go through a painful and trembling time before the Messiah comes (again!).
