"If You Are Muslim, You Are Suspect"

Islam is a seditious enemy ideology hiding under the cloak of a religion.

I often think of the way some people were treated in America during WWII. Japaneses Americans were interned in mass yet they had some of the highest decorated units of all American combat units. Blacks were discriminated against yet served with honor. German and Italian Americans had property confiscated and neighborhoods burned down yet enlisted in great numbers and served with distinction.

And now what have Muslim Americans down in this war for America?

American Muslims might be able to get away with the “Woe is me, I’m being persecuted for my faith” if they would get together and actively denounce the terrorism. There are a few individuals, but I have yet to hear of any large Mosque active in the War on Terror.

"If You Are Muslim, You Are Suspect"

Well, you can't blame people for feeling this way. After all, it's Muslims attacking the west in the name of Islam. It would be nice to be able to believe the tales we hear about the "religion of peace", but Islamic "peace" seems to be contingent upon everybody being forcibly converted to Islam.

Or to be more accurate, the "correct" form of Islam, since the Islamomaniacs are perfectly willing to massacre other muslims if they are from a different sect.

Right now, it would appear that there are two kinds of Muslims - active terrorists and sleeper cells. And until somebody proves me wrong, I will never trust a Muslim again in my life.

Finally someone points out Brandon Mayfield's past!

[FITZ]

Much of the problem is that Islam isn't just a religion, it's just as much or more a political ideology, a form of government. Muslims have no use for the US Constitution and intend to replace it with Sharia law. Should we have let Nazis take over the world and impose their fascism if they would have said they worshipped some kind of god?

[Bryan24]

I surely hope that the FBI maintains surveillance on this guy. I'll bet the FBI is STILL shaking their head over the fingerprint mismatch coincedince with Mayfield.

Hey Jeremy, here's a newsflash for you - The next time a terrorist attack is launched int he US, a lot of citizens will begin taking the law into their own hands. Do you know who they will come looking for? People with YOUR background.

[chris1]

Get over it. Until I see mass demonstrations by muslims denouncing what the heck is going on, I refuse to have any sympathy or patience for this nonsense.

[MarineDad]

I will never trust a Muslim again in my life.

Words to live by - literally.

[rrrod]

As a former ex pat with years of living and working in the ME I congratulate you for say what many of us have been saying for 30 yrs! all the best!

[ZULU]

Anyone who dispassionately reviews the current state of affairs in the Islamic world and is in the slightest bit conversant with the tenets of Islam and the Koran can not but help come to the correct conclusion that Islam and American style Democracy, freedom, and a pluralistic society are inherently antithetical and incompatible.

The world has become too small for Jeffersonian Democracy and Islam to peacably co-exist.

One or the other will prevail.

[MarineDad]

Who ever came to either regret or ruin by not trusting them?

Which among them has ever, EVER proven to be trustworthy?

Just wondering.

[defendingright]

Excellent post. I work with a few Muslims here at the office. They are likeable people and I get along with them on an "office-worker" level, but I always keep it in my mind that their religion calls for my death.

“If you are Muslim you are suspect,” commented Samer Horani of the Islamic Center of Portland

Alhumdoolillah! Finally Allah allows the light of logic to penetrate into one of the darker places on the planet: the Muslim mind. Who knows where this seminal event might lead the ROP?

[gitmogrunt]

America's not for everyone.

Victory over terrorism, foreign and domestic.

[Mo1]

Thanks for the ping ... real nice past Mayfield has there

But it won't stop the liberals from attacking the FBI and Justice department

[ClearBlueSky]

I agree with you!
How can one openly follow a 'religion' that is anti the beliefs of modern civilization-not to mention normal concepts of humanity- and NOT expect to be 'suspect'?

If I move next door to you and put up signs, wear symbols, and tell you I belong to a cult that teaches you are my enemy and you must live as I do or it is my duty to kill you- is it unreasonable that you would fear and hate me?

Would a black family be expected to be understanding of, and comfortable with, an openly Klan family next door?
Would they be 'unfair' if they didn't smile and wave and invite them over for coffee?

I just love this move to reverse guilt re.Islam.
The 'religion' is not compatible with modern civilization.
Followers of it have declared war on that civilization.
Yet we, the intended victims and 'enemy' are not supposed to 'suspect', hate, or discriminate against adherents of that 'religion'??
MADNESS!

Islam is the enemy, and terrorism is its weapon of choice.

[Freebird Forever]

Even Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations – an Islamist group with multiple connections of its own to violence – admits that “no Muslim is more than six degrees away from terrorism.”

I'd give odds that it's 3 or 4 at best.
