I have to admit, I came to the realization that my lifecycle was not drawn in the shape of the Bell curve but of a circle. I left the communist paradise 34 years ago and I was happy do not have to be careful anymore what I am saying to whomI am saying it. I am entirely sure that I have good friends who think the way I do. but now, who knows? Over there in "paradise" it was a known fact that half of the population was covertly working for the secret service spying on the other innocent half. What can I say? I feel at home again. BTW, that method of apprehension was very successful in getting rid of the class enemy. So after our Dear Leader stirred up the leftist (communist/fascist/nazi) style class warfare, the intended consequence is...

If there are no crisis we need manufacture some. In some people's mind life is a chain made of wars: war against racism, war against obesity, war against cancer, war against successful capitalist enterprises, war against-you-name-it-they-fight-it.

I will ask incessantly until I get the right answers: what's the difference between Islam and Islamism? What makes a warrior/active terrorist an Islamist as compared to a Muslim who chose Jihad by sword not only by word? As other comments stated before this, there are no different versions of Islam. Islam is Islam is Islam and that's it! Our good friend Erdogan, the Turkish PM, said so and Andrew McCarthy quoted him many times in his writings.

I went through a strange life cycle. Myself, I was born in a communist country having two parents true believers in communism. It took me a few decades to wake up and appreciate the offerings of a large market of ideas as the US has. The coupe de grace I received recently came from of my daughter's indoctrination at one of the country's prestigious state universities. I am back to square one but I refuse to accept it. I try on a daily bases to fight the odds, I read, I comment, and I have a special need to learn anything I can from Dr. Sowell.

"Could have, would have, should have" but it didn't. The FBI was stripped of the right to properly investigate when its libraries were cleaned of study material on matters islam and the danger that it poses for western civilization. Remember, the "war on terror" was won. OBL is dead, AQ is on its heels. It's only our dirty imagination at work. We are paranoid. How come that a sad-eyed-boy grew up as real, militant muslim who's mother even wants to die for the "cause". Allahu Akhbar!

All he, Dzhokar, learned from the American education was the fact that both the Left and Islam are collectivist ideologies. Listen to his mother. No "radicalized" muslim talks like her, but a born one. The boys grew up muslims with all strings attached. The Chechen president is a coward. So is our WH that turns a blind eye on the islamization of the US. It is a known fact that muslim immigrants are persuaded not to integrate in any host society but to work hard towards the common goal of the ummah to reinstate the universal caliphate, by all means necessary. And they die happy for the cause. The mother of the two guys just told us that. She, herself, would be a happy shahid (martyr).

Amen! I second that.

You say she was right about ISLAMISM. So she was ISLAMISMOPHOBE. See what happens when words are "fabricated' without thinking of the linguistical consequences. PC trumps all commonsense.

Thanks for the info. I just had a hunch that some carelessness was involved...

You didn't have what is called "vitamin P"(protection, props, puppet masters)
