In other words, the op-ed was written to please the middle-east clients of Petraeus' new employers.

In other words, talking about Muslims the way that democrats talk about Christians is “hate speech” and will not be tolerated.

Islam has been at war with everyone not muslim since 622 A.D.
Refusing to acknowledge that will get people killed.

Sadly, Petraeuss attacks primarily undercut the foremost critics of Islamic doctrine: Muslim reformers, the group of Muslims who most need our support. A prominent young Muslim reformer, Shireen Qudosi, responded to his op-ed with this poignant tweet: Petraeus doesnt see that for much of the maddening world of Muslims and liberals, hate speech is conflated w/ truth. Petraeus comes across as a PC fool... but maybe you're right - he's just trying to please the totalitarian thugs he's working for...

Why not just say it....instead of ‘middle-east’....just say Saudis. They are the ones that pay for the think-tank foundation that Petraeus works in....right?

I knew Petraeus a long time ago and had a great deal of respect for him. Today, I’m not sure whether I misjudged him or he changed a lot. In either case, he has no more loyalty to the United States or to Western culture than he has toward his wife.

Mr. Petraeus, the followers of Islam suffer religious rabies.
Mr. Petraeus, spend wisely your 30 pieces of silver.
Oh, and the next life? For some, hell is where their soul will be extinguished.
Others, not so lucky.

I am all for free association, including those who choose to work for organizations in the middle east, but we need some sort of tracking of who’s on what payroll. So many of our top level leaders and executive branch Secretaries end up working for interests that are not necessarily in our US interests. Not that other voices can’t be heard. We just need to know who’s voice we are hearing. In this case it’s not General Petraeus, but rather foreign lobbyist Petraeus. The two are not the same thing.

Because telling Muslims their religion is in error, Mohammed was a terrible person, or some other negative thing braking with it will justify, in their eyes, violence against you.
He’s telling the battered spouses of the world to stop talking back to their husbands.
