This is a total vanity.
As I write this, I am watching "Jihad in America" by Steven Emerson, and originally broadcast on PBS
I am more than a little amazed that this has not proven to be more mainstream. It in effect predicted something like what has transpired in the USA in the last year.
If you have never viewed this even-handed, but very blunt, assessment of radical Islam, you need to. It will shock you.
I find myself wondering why it is that liberals and libertarians continue to prostitute themselves on behalf of those who would kill us and destroy our land.
Thoughts?
Do you have the RealVideo version, or did you get it somewhere else?
This is in spite of, or perhaps due to, a required class called "afro asian cultures" which sought to portray the third world as having merit and values like our own. Grownups love to say things like "people are the same everywhere" but us kids knew better because for one thing people like us don't build houses out of sticks and cow turds.
It was an obvious sham. The trouble is, people seem to lose common sense when they grow older.
I must say that had the FBI or the FAA taken the my view, 9/11 would not have happened. At least we are now on notice and this multi cultural BS will be harder to spread.
Dude!
Emerson produced the video but nobody would run it. Finally, PBS aired it one time and I think a South African network also aired it once.
However, at National Public Radio things were different. Emerson was not allowed on their airwaves at all. I think this prohibition still exists.
Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:
Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.
How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?
