Will the Dems' health care Christmas Present to America be an improvement or detriment to our health care system?


Is it irrational to fear shoe bombs, dirty bombs, homicidal bombers, homicidal hijackers, anonymous Muslim car bombers, armed kidnappers, video-taping beheaders, truck bombers, airplane crashers, hotel bombers, train bombers, subway bombers, ship bombers, when all of these terror methodologies have been used or attempted in the recent past?

The OIC needs a little perspective. As the second leading inter-governmental organization, behind the UN, it needs to understand that by condemning “discrimination and intolerance,” but not condemning murder and terror, they prove themselves the second biggest hypocritical inter-governmental organization in the world, also still behind the UN. It is inconceivable that an organization supposedly speaking for 57 nations and various other interested parties, can berate other countries for discrimination, while providing no proof or significant harm, but then fail to mention in the least the devastation that has been wrought on the rest of civilized by society by Muslim extremists.

To have murderous behavior defended by oblique attacks on the societies that have been victimized by such attacks is ludicrous in the extreme. Moderate Muslims, if they are who they claim to be, cannot put the loathing of terror and it perpetrators in the same category of wonton murder and terror upon innocents.

If fearing terrorists, Jihadists, wahabists, etc. and et. al., because of their brutal and indiscriminate killing sprees, makes me irrational AND an Islamaphobe…then, I guess I am one.

And sorry OIC…the worst form of terrorism is indiscriminate murder, not “defamation and intolerance.”

You can argue all you want but I saw a video during the Iran hostage crisis where Iran violated all conventions of diplomacy. During an interview with Shi'ites by ABC, it was stated that the Shi'ites' goal was/is to impose (that was not the actual word) their brand of Islam throughout the world. Don't try to tell me that Islam is a religion of peace; I wasn't born yesterday and haven't been dumbed down by what passes for "public school education." The Koran calls for killing the "infidel" and the "infidel" is anyone who is not a Muslim.

The anal pore who heads up CAIR talks in stereo -- out both sides of his mouth. When talking to the public he speaks platitudes about wanting to assimilate but -- in the mosque -- talks about continuing the fight to make Islam the only legally accepted religion and the Koran the only acceptable religious book.

Jim Jones would have envied the ability of Muslims to convert Christian -- particularly American -- women into accepting Shari'a law in which women have no rights whatsoever. If a woman is forcibly raped, even gang raped, and a pregnancy results then the woman is automatically judged to be at fault and sentenced to death by beheading. The "Kool-Aid" administered by Jones would have been too tame, it appears. When we consider that Mohammed was a rapist (especially of children), mass murderer and slave owner we should not be surprised. He invented that "religion" to honor those evils.

Whats the difference between violence committed by a state and individuals?? wearing the uniform and having more money and ammunition to inflict more death and destruction.

If you look just at the last 100 years . over 8 European countries colonized most of the Muslim countries. the death toll in Algeria alone amounts to more than 2 million people not counting rape and property destruction..etc

Dead palestians outnumber the dead israelis about 3 times without counting the cana massacre.

the vietnam war left millions of vietnamese dead.

In bosnia the genocide of Muslims left 300,00 muslims dead.

In europe the genocide left millions of jews dead.

All these massacres were committed by Christians.
