You make sense.

Obviously, America is not at war with all Muslims or Arabs.

In fact, many Arabs appreciate what America has done. The woman in that video ROCKS! Of course, I have to admit she's a Chaldean, not a Muslim. But so what ?

It's not as though there aren't many Arab Muslims who agree with her. Or are we supposed to think that people like the guys who write this blog are the enemy?

I do worry, though, about the tendency of those in government with respect to dealing with the members of minority religions and ethnicities. To reach out to those with radical/anti-American views and look at those without them as somehow illegitimate. Thomas Sowell has noted for decades that the GOP's general "outreach" strategy to blacks is to try to silence the Ward Connerly types and settle for being "Democrat lite". Similarly, outreach to Muslims seems to usually take the form of legitimizing CAIR. One would hope that a Muslim Chaplain with the views of a William Sloane Coffin, the former Yale Chaplain and anti-American radical, would be disallowed at West Point, just as one would hope Christian chaplains in the mold of William Sloane Coffin would be.

What do you mean, "So what?"

BIG "what." All the difference in the world.
