    Here’s the question – is the common denominator “Islamic” or “extremists”?

    Hmm… I found one with Uganda. Christian Extremists AND Islam Extremists are both slaughtering people there… it just depends on the Orientation of whom they’re after.

    Common denominator– we’ve bombed them, or jailed them, all. We’ve also supported a population that represents ONE PERCENT OF THEIR OWN, every single time, when THEIR side has been attacked. Real numbers should disturb someone, someday.

    The real common denominator is that three major groupings of people with the exact same “core belief” and center of focus, have been killing each other throughout history- no reason to support ANY of them.

    ANDY - Yes Yes Yes, it won’t solve all of our problems but it would help – Of course the first party to raise taxes will be doomed – I think it is the right thing to do so I say let the GOP do it, they are the ones who have raised taxes the most and most often in the past 30 years.

    If America bombing the Muslim extremists is the root of all terrorism, why aren’t there major German terrorists, major Japanese terrorists, major Serbian terrorists?

    The common denominator is a culture that hasn’t entered the modern world—radical Islam—that doesn’t believe in women’s rights or gay rights (like even life) being supported by the Western ideology that supposedly believes in women’s and gay rights.

    Yes, there are crazy Christians, but where are the major 9/11 type attacks—or even attempts like Times Square? Maybe because crazies don’t dominate?

    Nah, that would be empirical thought, and leftist kooks don’t do that kind of crazy stuff.

    Let’s see, at the last count there were about 17 active armed conflicts around the globe (not counting drug and like gang wars), all of which involve the ‘religion of peace’ as the party doing the most loving …

    The common denominator - especially considering all the things Gorell is excluding - is RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS!! Islamic, Christian, Jewish - moderates and liberals are fine and present no danger, while fundamentalists and conservatives take their petty, pointless disagreements and amplify them into violence and war.

    Moral equivalence = common denominator of the leftist uber intellectuals.

    Ian Valenzuela - “Christophobe”

    Again, somehow , humans are mistaking sacrificial love for muslim-perpetrated genocide.

    Haha! You never thought you’d hear those two words together did you? Muslim + Genocide How come it’s only “white” people who are considered capable of committing genocide?

    The leftists above see the problem as one of revenge against us because we “bomb” them etc. The latest attack was on NORWAY. They attack in Uganda, they attacked in England. Norway never bombed them or fought them or even opposed them. The rationale of your defense of terrorists having been exposed, what is the reason they attacked Norway?

    There are more than a billion muslim in the World, they are in places much more stable than Iran, AfPak and Iraq.

    If every single muslim in the world had genocide on his mind, things would be way, way uglier than they are right now.

    It’s about a few short-fused nuts in the gang that are strategically well placed.

    It’s like rape; the majority (not the totality) of rapists are men, that doesn’t mean all men are potential rapists.

    Some nutcases who call themselves feminists think all men are potential rapists and in an angsty part of my life, that was pretty much what I thought too. I had to think othervise for a reason;

    Half of people on Earth are men. Even if I had decided to play lesbian, I would have kept seeing men everyday.

    Muslims are one sixth of the World’s population. You can’t make them vanish! Hitler tried that on the jews and he was stopped after a few millions. Even if America wanted it, it couldn’t build that many gas chambers.

    Coulter says we should convert them…It took centuries to convert Europe to christianity. Does she think all violence will be gone from those guys as soon as Holy water will touch their forehead?

    The only way to do that would be through nuclear warfare. We’d nuke a huge chunk of the planet’s surface and nuclear winter for everyone, Yay!

    America would probably be nuked back before that.

    The only thing to do is what we are doing now; consider them as our equals, but keep our eyes open for the few nuts on the gang and weed them out.

    Corosive Frog, I think YOU are the “NUT” !!!… Nuttier than a squirrel turd !!!…And about as sharp as a cue ball…

    Barack OBAMA, during his Cairo speech, said: “I know, too, that Islam has ALWAYS been a part of Americas ’ story.”

    Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.

    Were those Muslims that celebrated the first Thanksgiving day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.

    Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?

    Declaration of Independence ?

    Bill of Rights?

    Didn’t think so.

    Did Muslims fight for this country’s freedom from England ? No.

    Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America ? No, they did not. In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as “pug nosed slaves.” Says a lot of what the Muslim world really thinks of your family’s “rich Islamic heritage,” doesn’t it Mr. Obama & Mr.Frog ???

    Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country? Not present.

    There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.

    Where were Muslims during this country’s Woman’s Suffrage era? Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so, that often they are beaten for not wearing the ‘hajib’ or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women’s rights, aren’t they?

    Where were Muslims during World War II? They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops and accepted support from the Nazi’s in killing Jews.

    Finally, Mr. Obama & Mr.Frog where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001? If they weren’t flying planes into the World Trade Center , the Pentagon or a field in Pennsylvania killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East . No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very “moderate” Muslims who’s asses you bent over backwards to kiss in Cairo , Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.

    And THAT, Mr. Obama & Mr.Frog is the “rich heritage” Muslims have here in America .

    Oh, I’m sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslim.

    And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan .

    That, Mr. Obama & Mr.Frog is the “Muslim heritage” in America . Muslim heritage, My bleeep !!!…….

    Well America, The DOJ decided that the NEW Black Panther party that had members in front of a polling place smacking a Marshal Arts Weapon into their hand and calling white voters crackers nothing to worry about and nothing to investigate and dropped the case against them.

    This same group’s president spent some time on a bull horn telling a crowd that he hated white people and if black people wanted to be free they would have to kill some crackers and some cracker babies.

    Now a Civil Rights group is holding investigations because a DOJ lawyer quit due to the instructions given him to not persue black on white crime.

    It’s all over fox news but you won’t see it in the kool-Aid Drinking main stream meadia. Not news worthy. No bias OR evidence at all.
