"This is a recruitment bonanza for al-Qaeda...”
That’s how President Barack Obama, in a national television interview on September 9, described the plans of an American Pastor to hold a September 11th “Koran burning” event at his church in Florida.
Prior to the President’s TV interview, the Pastor had already been chastised by some of the highest-ranking officials in the Obama Administration. Attorney General Eric Holder had described the Pastor and his plans as “idiotic,” while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had stated that it was all “disgraceful.”
Yet President Obama apparently believed it was necessary to speak about this himself, and try to stop the Koran burning festivities.
If the disgraceful and idiotic private citizen were to carry out his intended disgraceful and idiotic plans, then “you could have serious violence in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan” the President stated. “This could increase the recruitment of individuals who would be willing to blow themselves up in American cities or European cities," Obama explained, adding that "If he's listening, I hope he understands that what he's proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans. That this country has been built on the notion of freedom and religious tolerance..."
These are strong words from the sitting U.S. President, aimed at one, private citizen. And the fact that the stated intentions of one private citizen would draw criticism from the President and his Administration – and would touch-off death threats on American lives– is seriously troublesome on multiple levels.
First, let’s accurately assess what has been at the epicenter of this controversy in the first place. At the time of this writing (I’m composing these words on the afternoon of Friday September 10), it is unclear whether the Florida Pastor will stage a Koran Burning event on September 11th, or not. This is to say that the Pastor has only stated his intentions, and we don’t know if he will ever carry them out.
Describe the Pastor and his plans in whatever derogatory and demeaning terms you wish. Stupid. Inflammatory. Insensitive. Intolerant. Misguided. Ill-advised. My observation is that the man seems quite inarticulate, and a bit “nutty,” and I wish the Obama Administration and the worldwide media industry had not drawn so much attention to him (notice that I am not stating the man’s name – it makes no sense for me to give this character more attention).
Yet this nutty guy is merely speaking his mind – and in America, we regard this as constitutionally protected “free speech.” For much of our nation’s history, Americans have possessed an attitude that says “I may disagree with what you say, but I’ll fight to the death for your right to say it..”
But we now seem to have turned a corner on this type of freedom. In this instance, some of the most powerful people in our government determined that if this one private citizen were to exercise his legal right to burn copies of a particular book, such an excursion in human liberty would threaten the security of Americans both domestically, and abroad – and thus, this one private citizen should not exercise his legal rights.
A President who was more appreciative of the uniqueness of American liberty, might have taken the opportunity to explain that American freedom is a good thing, and that freedom itself is not a problem. Yet when one lacks the discernment as to how to wisely exercise their freedoms, therein lies a problem. That could have been a true moment of presidential leadership - a “teachable moment” if you will – but that is not how President Obama and his Administration has responded to the rhetoric of our nutty fellow American.
Second, the fact that mere rhetoric can incite “death to America” demonstrations in Afghanistan and can rise to the level of a national security threat says something about the predominant Muslim culture, and President Obama’s assessment of that culture.
In June of 2009, our President delivered a now-famous speech at Cairo University, wherein he stated “I've come here to Cairo to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interest and mutual respect, and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles — principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings…”
Those were beautiful words, words that were perhaps meant to inspire. Yet polling conducted by the Brookings Institute two months ago shows that President Obama faces a near 65% disapproval rate in the Middle East, and the Muslim world remains as hostile as ever towards the West.
If indeed Americans and Muslims shared the “common principles” of “tolerance and dignity of all human beings” as President Obama has stated, then American lives would not be endangered because of the words of one man in Florida.
Rather than honestly acknowledging the serious problems of Muslim culture, the Obama Administration has instead chosen to define American freedom as a problem.
Since that would have no bearing on this situation, I can only interpret that to be an attempt to skirt everyone’s rights.
The existence of islam has no bearing on this situation?
“When is enough enough?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
For the communists (let’s call them what they are) or for the muslim slavedrivers (let’s call them what they are) enough will only be when they rule America and the other ninety nine percent of us are in fact worse off than slaves on a South Carolina plantation in 1800. We will be worse off because unlike the plantation slaves we will have NO monetary value.
As to whether in the end the communists will wipe out the muslims or vice versa, I don’t know but atheistic communists cannot coexist with cultists who worship the moon god unless one submits to the other and that ain’t likely.
Who knows maybe 12/21/2012 really is the end.
This is why, in my opinion, anyone wishing to establish Sharia Law has rejected the central tenet of the American Creed and is not, should not and never will be a citizen of the United States.
Non-citizens should be deported regardless of method of entry.
IMHO...the Left..and the Rinocratic Party... intends to use Islam as the battering ram to break breakdown the First Amendment.
Oops. I read that wrong. So sorry.
If I am not mistaken it was reported that they over $180,000 in property taxes. I could be wrong on the amount though
The last sentence can be explained by accepting that obama is a muslim.
Please pass the following on. I heard it first hand.
A co-worker of my wife’s said her ten year old son came home from school on Friday and said they had talked about 911 that day in class. During recess a ten year old muslim kid told him a man who had lost the lease on the Twin Towers had gotten mad and bombed the buildings.
This is what “moderate” muslims are teaching their children. This is what they’re being taught in those mosques we’re allowing them to build all over America. In only ten short years these ten year old kids will be TWENTY YEAR OLD TERRORISTS. Yet both parties tell us to be tolerant. In other words we’re being told to TOLERATE this crap. This country is doomed if a majority don’t wake up immediately!
Remember the Symbionese Liberation Army? It started out as a religion.
[quote]Tyranny this way cometh.[/quote]
Yep, and tyranny is going to find out it’s marching into a massive meat grinder. Americans will not simply submit as they hope.
Americans take a lot of crap and shoulder it well. However, when we reach the breaking point, we will tear your punk butt up in ways you have never imagined. The Japanese found out the hard way in 1945.
Message to Islam... you poked what you thought was a hornets nest, you found it was a dragon with an attitude. Our Government would do well to remember that as well. They are here to serve US, not the other way around. I abhor violence but I see our nation being pushed into it. We won’t draw first blood, but it’ll be our enemies that refresh the liberty tree.
Hmm, this is interesting. I have never seen this
I thought you were suggesting that burning the koran poses a clear and present danger. Sorry about that.
No big deal. Hollywood will hold a fundraiser for part of the taxes and the government will waive the rest on the grounds of tolerance.
thanks to the left (and sadly some dummies on the right) muslims now have veto power of our constitutional rights.
If exercising your constitutional rights makes muslimes mad, than you can’t do it.
Donald Defreeze alias Cinque? Yeah I remember that insanity.
I don't know if he commented then or not, but it would be interesting to juxtapose those statements.
“security threat says something about the predominant Muslim culture, and President Obama’s assessment of that culture. “
Mr Obama has a skewed perception of Islam...
.....ever wonder why zero is popular with the muslims?

...and if the "religion of peace' cannot abide our freedoms perhaps 1) they are not as peaceful as they say, and 2) it is NOT just the radicals among them that are the problem, it is Islam itself that cannot coexist.
