| #7 "Not all Muslims are Wackos" "But a sufficiently large number are, and are tolerated by most of the rest. The time is rapidly approaching when it will be imprudent not to treat all Muslims as if they were Wackos. Something needs to change." If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas. "Terrorism was invented by the totalitarians to be used as a weapon against more open societies. Leftist propaganda to the contrary, it doesn't work for an open society to use it against a totalitarian one." Well, what about Los Pepes in Columbia? The only way they could fight the Escobar cartel was through rather unsavory means. Not saying it is directly applicable, but maybe..... |

Part of that is because of their enemy. Terrorism was invented by the totalitarians to be used as a weapon against more open societies. Leftist propaganda to the contrary, it doesn't work for an open society to use it against a totalitarian one. If there were taiwanese blowing up subway stations in Beijing, you'd NEVER see a communist party official there making excuses for them the way Bloody Ken did this week. | |

| #5 When is the last time you heard of a Tiawanese suicide bomber? They want their independence too, but they don't go around with a stick of dynamite up their ass. |

| #4 No reason to be mean and malign the undead. Zombies might have a craving for human flesh, appear thoughless, and have communications problems and all, but they are people too. Or were. Be nice, don't compare them with Islamists. |

| #2 Not all wackos are Muslim. Not all Muslims are wackos. It's a safe way to bet. I remain hopeful. My hope died this morning. The bombs may have been duds, but the intent was not, and there was no -- NO -- effort by the Muslim community to expose this. Just defense, equivocation, and whining about being under suspicion. |

| #1 Muslims are humans just like you and I. They become brain dead zombies only in matters of religion. All cultists are brainless zombies. Don’t you think the 900 followers of Jim Jones who drank poison voluntarily and administered it to their children, or the educated members of the Solar Temple who committed mass suicide to meet the extraterrestrials navigating in the tail of the comet Haley, or the followers of David Koresh, John de Ruiter, Scientology {Waitaminute! Whaddabout Tom Cruise?} or all other cults were/are brain dead zombies? You don’t kill people for being brain dead zombies. You try to enlighten them. This is what I try to do. On one hand I try to help Muslims see the light and leave this cult of hate and on the other hand I try to make others see Muslims as victims and not the villains. No. I do not think people should be annihilated just because they are brain dead zombies. Many of these brain dead zombies have been rescued and now you can see they are very smart and genuinely good people. Not all wackos are Muslim. Not all Muslims are wackos. On C-Span a couple of months ago, I watched Muslim kids who had been foreign exchange students in the US for a year put questions to Mulim, Jewish, and Christian scholars. They had spent some minutes that morning with Bush in the Rose Garden. One of the scholars asked for a show of hands - who thought Bush was bad before they met him this morning? 95% of the hands went up. And after you met him/heard him speak? About 75%, more than I had hoped, but a real difference. The last words from the three religious scholars were very similar - it's harder to hate people when you know something about them. I remain hopeful. |
