It’s also funny that it’s always assumed that human behavior in the past has no relation to how we behave today. Why those people were old-fashioned, we’re modern, educated, etc.

Oh yes, the words from the article, like sanctimonious, come to mind.
Odd, how hyperbole is dismissed after contemplating the aftermath of Mass Murder, and the enemy is dismissed silently, and presumably as more or less innocent.

Aside from the fact that the overwhelming discussion here has been civil (yes, angry but civil) and insightful, this clymer picks the worst examples of rage as typical Freeper fare, as has the Democratic Underground. Sort of gives me a clue as to where he's coming from.

Human behavior in the past does have a definite relation to how we behave today; and even more so for the Muslim World. Let's look at the main significance of that as it relates to the total silence in the article about it.

All of the Muslim Middle East countries have been aiding indirectly or supporting directly terrorist activities and training camps all over the place; there may be dozens or hundreds of them.
We have been pretending not to notice so long as it was "not too bad" and didn't affect us directly.
They have pretended to forgive us for the mild criticism we do deliver from time to time, and gladly keep their cartel going to generate the millions the terrorists get indirectly from us.
Yeah, let's talk behavior from the past.

But even more insidiously and perfidiously, the current war has been characterized as non-religious when it is plainly so. The daily proclamations from all Muslim countries to "kill Americans" is not imaginary, and to most literate adults plain enough to see. And the muslim population in the U.S. has been totally silent in providing any aid to fellow citizens in this country even after the Mass Murder.
Most Americans also have no difficulty in assessing the odds of 11 000 000 Muslims in the U.S., with hundreds of terrorists operating among them, and actually getting help and aid and comfort among them, all being totally clueless of the plans of the terrorists and their actual acts of Mass Murder.

So then, let's talk about behavior from the past.
When national survival, and our civil liberties are on the line, you bet, Mr. Elkins, that our current rage at the Mass Murder is based on the crystal clarity that past behavior is very indicative of present and future conscious intent by the Muslim community worldwide!

And the writer also conveniently doesn't mention the fact that radical Islamic forces have been making war in countries all over south East Asia. They have murdered thousands of Christians for example in these countries in just the last few years. These were places that had nothing to do with America or Israel yet they were laid to waste because of their previous government/religions. We unlike the others they've made war with have armies. Therefore they can't effectively make war overtly with us. They have to fight covertly. And they are. They think they can win. It is amazing there are so many that think if we simply pull back our armed forces into America and hide out radical Islamic followers will ignore us. Just appease and all will be fine… Unbelievable…
