#2 Secretary Rice herself while very publicly hosting an Iftaar dinner to mark the end of the "holy month" of Ramadan bestowing a federal promotion on the Muslim Umma, whose creed, she announced, is now the "religion of love" as well as the firmly entrenched "religion of peace."

Well, what'd you expect?

#3 great article. But I still don't understand all the outrage over the State Department issuing diplomatic statements. Isn't that their job?

Also in the article, at whom it bats one winsome eye while winking at suicide bombers with the other.

It's State's job to bat their eyelids as our army crushes them. I don't know, maybe it's just me.

#5 Diplomacy should not be just saying nice things - it is advancing the nation's business without the big stick.

Appeasing the Muslims about foundational freedoms does not advance the nation's business, and it makes "continuing diplomacy by other means" more likey.

#6 I'm starting to agree with you re: lawmakers or politicians, SR, since the Muslims have responded to our soothing, non-escalating, religion of peace offerings by shoving Mohammed's sword in our faces. But State's job is to paint the poops.

#7 But many of the people we call "moderates" are flat-out phonies, the bag-men who rise on the shoulders of the leg-breakers.

Yup. Which is why I've published my "Tipping Point" article today. The cartoon controversy has finally torn the mask off of "moderate Islam."

#10 The Labor participation rates of Muslims generally hovers around 50% of the population, globally. In the West they are over dependent on welfare. And Muslims can't legitimately point the finger at discrimination, because the low participation figure applies even in Islamic tyrannies. In prominently Muslim, Indonesia and Malaysia, ethnic Chinese participation is 10% higher than that of the lazy ass, carpet humpers.

Most Western democracies prohibit data gathering based on race, hence little hard data is available on Muslim sloth and parasitism. Check out your local halal shops at 10AM, and I guarantee you will see innumerable Abdullahs doing the lazy dog act, at the expense of hardworking "kafirs." I wish they would do that back in their cess-pool homelands. Islam is a sandbag on Modernism. Muslims are the cockroaches of humanity. And their umma is a stagnation factory. Brotherhood sucks! Everybody: GET MEAN!

Now, now. They don't think of it as welfare, but as jizya.
