I am a military veteran, a Christian, and a lifelong Republican. I was wounded in uniform, clearly recognizeable as a US solider, and had my life saved by a Muslim family who could have let me die with no harm to themselves. They went out of there way to save me simply because they were decent human beings.

Simple human decency. That’s pretty much the core Amerrican value, and there’s not a trace of it in this rant. Set aside the ridiculous, “save the last bullet for yourself” paranoia. This stuff oozes with hatred for “the Other.” Any Other will do; Muslims are just the current stand-in.

Fortunately, the people who founded this country were better than this. The vast majority of the people who fought and died for this country are better than this. And the majority of our citizenry are better than this. I won’t vote for Obama this Novemeber, but he’s also better than this.

“They went out of there way to save me simply because they were decent human beings.”

You’re the [enter horrible number here]’th troll to use that illiterate malapropism instead of the proper word.
DU’ers do that all the time.
How about you go back to your little friends and post your ‘victoly’ thread, eh?

While it is clear that not ALL Muslims want to kill us, too many want us dead.

As a veteran, if you don’t recognize the clear plain fact that Islam is the main factor behind the source of hatred against the United States, then you are a fool.

I am a veteran, I look like an American in uniform, was never shot at in military combat, and was raised in a neighborhood with two prominent Muslim families running the 2 popular resturants that we all attended and became family friends with for the last 35 years, and I see it clearly as the nose on your face.

The simple recognition that not all NAZIS hated Jews doesn’t mean NAZISM wasn’t anti-semitic to the core.

Gentlemen, it’s been two days since this “veteran” showed up - he hasn’t been back since.

“the Other.”

Jeez, where did you pick up that phrase, from your Womyn's Studues professor?
