I’m watching a new channel, TM News I think, and the woman newscaster is interviewing a British Muslim commentator in the UK. This is about the attack on a British soldier and the backlash from UK citizens. Seems the locals are angry at the Muslims for this latest attack and their anger has been building with the mounting attacks and plots to kill them…go figure? So the reporter asks him this softball question, “Why is it that every time there is a terrorist attack people expect Muslims to apologize for it as if they had something to do with it?” He responds, “Good question Susan, I really don’t know why? We didn’t demand President Bush apologize for invading Iraq or Afghanistan. I have no idea why people think Muslims should be apologizing or condeming terrorism when they had nothing to do with it!”
This answer satisfied the smug newswoman and they went on to pontificate about the terrible injustices heaped upon Muslims today due to those random acts of violence by a few terrorists who by some sheer coincidence just happen to be Muslims. Getting mad at the Muslims is unfair they said. This injustice could cause some otherwise peaceful Muslims to become radicals and do something violent!
They were doing the advance work for terrorism again, establishing a justification for a future terrorist attack. The ever apologetic liberals will always say, it’s our fault because we pushed them into it. They did it on 9-11 and so many other times, yet they never would never even remotely expect that same apologetic tone from the very religion that is behind the terrorism.
Well, I would like to answer her original question. If terrorism always led back to a common denominator, like the Elks Club or democrats or some other such organization, it would take no time at all for people to declare that group persona non-grata. We did it to the Klan, right? Avowed Klan members can’t belong to the military.
However, despite this regular Muslim connection to extreme terrorism some liberals feel they should get a free ride because they’re a big religion and they didn’t all do it? Or they don’t want to criticize them because they are too powerful they don’t want to risk offending them or holding them accountable? Their logic of this one escapes me. Why are libs so cautious about sstanding up to the bullies of the world?
Regardless of the liberals best efforts we can’t keep a lid on this one any longer people are figuring it out. We’re finally to a point that when a Muslim attacks us we connect it to their religious doctrine – we know that motivated them to do the violence. That is also a supportable fact. So, it’s reasonable that we should hold a religion accountable for the actions of a minority of their members. Much of the hate rhetoric that serves as a motivation for terrorism comes from the highest ranks within Islam. We have whole sects of Islam (Wahabi-Taliban, etc.) dedicated to violent conquest and hate speech.
Even the low information voters are starting to get it. I heard one of them say just the other day, “If they honestly don’t like what their members are doing (terrorism), maybe they ought to think about joining another religion?” Great idea, except for one thing. They can’t, the religion of peace will have them killed. Changing religions is a death penalty offense among Muslims. Of course any rational person would think this is nuts, yet millions of Muslims around the world believe it’s fair. That’s scary, no wonder they can justify killing women and children.
This is a deeply flawed political-religious movement and we need to wise up and deal with their issues head on. They don’t belong in America if they can’t support our idealism and freedoms. We should have no reservations about publicly denouncing their cruel and violent beliefs either…that’s our duty as a nation founded on free speech. We owe it to those who can’t speak freely! In this exceptional case (Muslim Terrorism), if we were to be more [intolerant] it might bring an end to such things quicker than appeasement and wouldn’t that be a good thing?
Those two individuals either came from another planet yesterday or are avid followers of Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.
Every time a Democrat opens their mouth they’re blaming Bush for Iraq when even Clinton and a bunch of others voted to approve our involvement. Bush may have been wrong but he and everyone else made their decisions based on false information. He didn’t create the misinformation, like the current administration.
I’ll call for Bush to apologize when Obama, Clinton, Holder, Geithner, Shoulman, Miller, Lerner, Biden and the rest of them apologize for Benghazi, Extortion 17, Fast and Furious, Gulf oil embargo, New Black Panther voter intimidation, Keystone pipeline, IRS scandal, AP and Fox scandal, the EPA scandal and other ones still to come.
The Iraq mistake by Bush and everyone else involved doesn’t come close to the corruption this administration needs to apologize for.
Excellent counter points to a otherwise loaded Liberal q&A (most likely prepared in advance). When enough of the low informed voters do wake up and realize that it will effect their life style (Government entitlements redirected) because of the need to protect the 535 sitting on their ass’s in DC. Only when we (An America reunited under effective governing) all have “skin in the game” and only then will the word resolve will be the answer, and not just a question. Also it amused me that the British Muslim commentator took a direct shot at former President Bush, and ” droned on” while failing to mention of the performance of the current administration. As to “The ever apologetic liberals” I would have used the word ‘apathetic”, it serves a better description.
“If terrorism always led back to a common denominator, like the Elks Club or democrats or some other such organization, it would take no time at all for people to declare that group as a whole persona non-grata.”
An example you might have wished to avoid (in an effort to prevent focus shifting) is the entire Christian religion after a single nut (without organized cells, support organizations, or violence inducing pastors), kills an abortion doctor.
“…millions of Muslims around the world believe it’s fair.”
A sampling of Polls:
“…if we were to be more [intolerant] it might bring an end to such things quicker than appeasement and that would be a good thing.”
Here here!
America cannot “tolerate” such extreme positions. None of this religious extremism reflects the values of our nation and never should!
An apology is meaningless unless the person making the apology had something directly to do with the problem in the first place.
However, an apology for not speaking out and condemning the barbaric attacks on innocents in the name of a religion would be appropriate. The longer the muslims let the jihadists continue their attacks, the longer the world will believe they support such acts. And they do – by their silence.
Muslims apologize for terrorism? Fat chance in hell. I don’t give a crap about any false apologies from two-faced Muslim liars. Muslims need to actively and aggressively stop the terror and the proliferation of terror by Islamic jihadists. Anything less is unacceptable from this violent, xenophobic, street and gutter religion from hell.
“Seems the locals are angry at the Muslims for this latest attack and their anger has been building with the mounting attacks and plots to kill them…go figure?”
Makes perfect sense, of course … and the next white, middle-aged, family annihilator goes off … Jack, we’re coming for you!
Yeah, Libby, because everyone knows our policy from the start has been to indiscriminately target uninvolved, innocent Muslims.
Lady you are just unable/unwilling to make distinctions. Gives full meaning to the expression, “ignorance is bliss”.
Also it’s not quite clear, does that “we’re” mean you are aligned with Muslim terrorists or the administration…and does it matter?
Libby is a perpetual drunk. That or a perpetual moron. Or both.
