No longer, it is all too terrifying and real.
General Petraeus also chimed in, basically giving the Islamic murderers cover and justification for their brutality:
Gen. Petraeus Blasts 'Hateful' Koran Burning
Obama also gave a moral equivalence to burning the Koran (and yes, I spell it that way) - and beheading innocents after torturing them.
Here is what I see coming: worldwide capitulation to Islam, international Sharia Law, UN mandates on what they will "accept" for free speech, and Islam conquering the once Christian west.
All forms terrorism against Christians and Jews will be permitted, but any type of "blasphemy" against Islam will not be tolerated.
I used to respect and admire Gen. Petraeus.
I have since learned that there is no one that works for the Federal government that I trust.
This is another re-post of my Islam = Cancer. screed. Anyone sick of it can skip it and use their time more wisely to burn a Koran.
Think it through with me - the parallels are significant, and denial is a dangerous option.
First, cancer cells are very similar to our own. You can’t quite say they are not human cells, or our very own cells. They spring up from our own cells. They are genetically identical in almost every way.
But they have some odd, unusual thoughts and behaviors. They multiply rapidly. They invade surrounding areas, and spread to distant areas to set up enclaves, pushing aside noncancerous cells and structures.
They use the body’s own mechanisms and resources against it. They insert themselves into key structures and disable or destroy them. They overwhelm the body’s natural defenses and immune system. The body cannot effectively wall them off, keep them in check, change their inherent nature and behavior, or make peace with them in any way. Ultimately, left unchecked, the natural history of cancer is to wreck havoc on the body, causing much suffering, and eventually death.
The only known cures are extreme, aggressive, destructive ones - radical cures: surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. There is always collateral damage, death of healthy cells, sometimes removal of entire functional tissues and organs.
But often enough there is improvement, either improved functioning and quality of life, or often a complete cure, which entails permanent and complete removal of all cancer cells from the body. Although not all cancer cells are always invading and destroying vital structures, it is important to aim for complete eradication of all cells as the goal of treatment, or the cancer will return with time.
In its essential points, this analogy seems hard to refute when applied to Islam. I see little reason not to draw the parallels, and I think they point to unfortunate, drastic, but necessary cures.
