  I said today's liberals.

  So, the new deal, regulation of financial agencies....those are things today that democrats hate and republicans are for? Oh wait, it's generally reversed. FDR fits the same platform as todays Democratic party. Fail again.

  By piling into LeavingWT's thread on the analysis of the times square bombing attempt, agreeing with Contessa nutbar Brewer, and trying to turn the discussion into "the danger innocent Muslims face from redneck Americans..."

  If he didn't want people in the thread maybe he shouldn't have started it. If you accurately were representing what Brewer said it would need no defense. And people like Sam Whiskey are the ones suspecting all muslims and brown people.

  Many liberals are still in denial that this guy was a Talibanist radical and desperately wanted him to be a Tea Party conservative.

  Fail. No one said the wanted him to be anything. The freakin police report said it was a white guy which is what was reported.

  My point was the exact same as my point on the AZ immigration law threads. America tries to have standards that make us different than most. Better. We have laws, that are in place to protect the innocent.

  OK, fine. My counterpoint is that we have a handful of posters here who jump on every thread which touches on Islamic terrorism and make it a point to defend Islam in general against Americans in general. They are invariably those posters who are the furthest left on this board. In general, they are deniers that there is an intrinsic problem with Islamic teachings on radicalism, jihad, and terrorism.

  BTW - What the AZ immigration law threads have to do with this I do not grasp. Nor FDR's politics.

  I AM left handed.....who is denying that jihad and terrorism is bad?

  I have not seen anyone denying that. What I have seem is people denying that both are intrinsic problems in today's Islamic community.

  Then you may want to reread the thread.

  The problem with your counterpoint, is that it is an assumption on your part. You presume that trying to be balanced and not jump on the "bomb the Middle East into glass" or "all Muslims are suspect" wagons somehow equals defending muslim extremists. That is simply not true.

  You know what's wonderful about America? We can believe any damn thing we want to. We can be Catholics, or Jews, or Atheists. Communist, Socialist, Libertarian, Gay, Straight, or in between, even Muslim or racist. All of our rights are still to be protected under the law.

  Hehe that's like saying snake handling or speaking in tongues is intrinsic to today's christian community.

  That is true under our law. It is not true under Sharia law.

  No, that is not the same thing...but your statement on it perfectly illustrates my point about this apologist view toward Islamic terrorism.

  Among Muslims at large, it's not. Among certain segments, yes. But that is a small minority (which unfortunately, produces large results). The problem with accusing the entire group and marginalizing them is that you then begin to push otherwise normal people in the group to the fringe, creating more of the very problem you are trying to solve.

  NotVeryLikely, you are in denial on the extent of Islamic terrorist thought.

  If it were not pervasive, they would not be in control of entire mideast nations and committing acts of terrorism and human rights violations practically daily.
