#1 Wanted to share a link to this excellent Rant I found on IraqWarToday (via Anti-Idiotarian Rotweiller).

I did not write this piece - but I agree with everything it says.

#2 I too agree. But I find myself in the 6th circle of Hell, wrathful and gloomy, and/because I am nearly alone.

#3 I'm tired of political correctness and euphemistic niceties. They are killing this country - literally.

If any muslims are helping us in the WoT--thanks. Kill the rest.

#4 He couldn't be more correct in his analysis or his prescription for a cure.

#6 Six Imams acting suspiciously won a lawsuit in our court system that may prevent others from saying anything.

WTF? Does anyone have a link on this abortion of justice?

Personally, I cannot bring myself to watch all of the 9-11 videos posted at the blog. My blood pressure skyrockets and I find myself wishing that the enite MME (Muslim Middle East) was a smoking, glow-in-the-dark parking lot.

Islam should already have been destroyed by now. The shrines at Mecca and Medina blasted to smithereens and its indoctrination centers, like Cairo's al-Hazar University, demolished. It is only by the grace of Western civilization's inherent decency that we have not gone Medieval on these worthless murderous rotters.

Islam must go. It no longers serves any worthy purpose if it ever even did so in the past. It is a remnant of a barbarous and Neanderthal culture that has no place in the modern world. I don't give damn how many people practice it or how esteemed it is by them, it is a savage creed that breeds up the very worst sort of human scum.

I believe that war is not the only answer, but that sometimes, it is the only answer that will work. I believe that war is sometimes a necessary thing. I believe that peace at all costs is not peace - it is subservience. It is cowardice.

Peace at all costs come with one forbidden price tag and that is human dignity. There can be no peace with Islam, ever. Knowing this, total war must be started against it without delay. There is no other alternative but to endure further destruction of our world by these villanous cretins. That option is totally unacceptable.

#7 I don't believe they have won anything. Their atty and CAIR threatened to sue John Does and there's been a massive backlash.

#8 Zen, they have filed a suit, but it has not gone to court yet as far as I know.

In response to this bullshit, Rep Peter King (R-NY) has sponsored a bill in Congress to give immunity to passengers reporting suspicious activity.

Here's a twist you'll love, Zen. The flying imams are being represented in court by a NYC official. Read about it here.

#9 Hi all - thanks to all of you for our comments. Frank G, you are correct (I've since added a correction to the post); they have not won yet, but have reportedly investigated an out-of-court settlement. The fact remains that the whole thing leads to the possibility that others will not come forward.

#10 thanks Pam, one thing these doofuses never think about before suing is that discovery goes both ways. CAIR is constantly dropping nuisance/SLAPP suits once they realize they will have to pony up funding sources, names, etc. Good post, though!

#11 Pam, I know that you probably wouldn't, but never give up even on your worst days.

That's why we're so much stronger now than ever before, not only do we have our individual resolve we have each other's collective resolve to recharge us and inspire us to be even better, stronger more enduring soldiers in this war for our Grand Children's future.

#12 Correct, RD

#13 Too right, RD! Rantburg is a shining beacon of hope that America will not fail us or the world when the moment of truth arrives. I simply cannot sufficiently thank Fred or this board's moderators for the personal enlightenment and opportunity of free speech as we discuss these vital issues. Then there's the snark ...

#14 Pam, RD is right -- and you mustn't despair, truly. Though the moonbats cry loudly, magnified by the media, with every incident more people realize that this is real... and for all the marbles. The pizza business owned by the father of one of the Fort Dix plotters has had almost no business since the arrests, according to the ever-truthy New York Times, because people will not give over their money even to the relative of such a man. A small gesture, a tiny sacrifice, but indicative. Stronger yet, his chef walked out, telling the newspapers that, with a son fighting in Iraq, there was no way he could work for the father of the enemy. The man gave up a secure livelihood to make that point! With all the play that has gotten in the papers, think you everyone will say to himself, "Oh, that Abdul is such a joker, talking about bombing people who make him mad"? It takes only one each time, to start clearing away the bloody-minded, and sifting out those Muslims who -- by their actions -- show they're no longer willing to stand with them.

And come visit us more often, my dear. Rantburg's snark and nuggets of truth -- both good and bad -- will stiffen you to face your own battles, even as your rant did the same for us.
