This is horrible. We are helping the wrong side. Words fail me, we are on the wrong side.

A side note, just tonight, after Mom and I got back from her breast doctor (she had a mastectomy, breast cancer, got it all from what they know but we are having wound issues) and we noticed a woman with a long caftan and a hajib walking the street of our neighborhood as we were eating. We have a new plan of high priced townhomes in our plan, very ritzy, so I assume she is from there. Anyhoo, Mom's eyes popped out and I almost snarfed on my drink. I know I should not hold all Islamsists suspect but still I am very wary of them until they prove to me otherwise and even so, that is a tall order. They are not compatible with our Western way of life.

I agree. And since 9/11/01, I've noticed that Muslims seem to be everywhere in the US. Here in Connecticut... in cities, which isn't too unusual, but also in really small towns where there isn't a heck of a lot of 'diversity'.

Besides the northeast, I've seen them in other states, ie Michigan (Dearborn of course), all over Minneapolis, MN, and even in conservative states like South Carolina, Georgia...

Kind of makes me say: "Hmmm..."

The term "Islamist" has come to be used to distinguish the hard-core case, who believes in political Islam and wants to impose Sharia, from the the average Mooselimb, who regards Islam as just the religion he happened to be born into.

Islamism is incompatible with freedom. Therefore, Islamists must die!
