#1 Interestingly enough, when an entire "art" show of cartoons against Israel and the Holocaust was officially sanctioned in Iran recently, there were no riots in the world, no burned buildings, no death threats. Go figure.

I am at the end of all possible patience.

Every genocidal and terrorist utterance needs to see another mosque put to the torch. My tolerance has reached its limits. Let the Muslims know what awaits even another single genocidal pronouncement by their psychotic mullahs. Every fatwah sees another mosque reduced to smoking embers.

Memo to Islam: Shut the fuck up or die.

#2 "Though no 67-year-old Jewish grandmothers have hijacked plans or blown up buildings, to be fair, we must search and stop them as we would a young Muslim man. And if, in the time we take to search that grandmother, Abdullah or Mohammed succeeds in passing security unfettered and does blow something up, goes the reasoning, at least we have our humanity."

And if, on seeing Abdullah and Mohammed about to board the plane, and knowing what you know about the threat we face, you decided to give them a closer look instead of pointlessly hassling the 67-year-old Jewish grandmother standing next to them, that would somehow mean you DON'T have your humanity???????

I have no patience for this kind of shit anymore.

#3 Dave,
I think you may be misinterpreting the 'we still have our humanity' line - I read that as sarcasm on the writer's part.

Best regards,
Mike

#4 I don't know that the author's attitude toward political correctness quite rises to the level of "sarcasm," though he's clearly uncomfortable with it and sees-- at least a little-- the disastrous consequences of it. Yet he still sees ethnic profiling as "abhorrent."

#5 the world was silent to the atrocity of synagogues being burned. Just one year later, the lesson returns. Where synagogues burn, so too do churches.

I don't get this last line. Is he saying that no cares until churches start to burn? A bit of irony in that, isn't there. Christians have been massacred and churches have been burning all around the world, on a regular basis, for many, many years but no one reports it in mainstream media and there is no outrage. I stumbled across an internet site that kept track of Christian persecution. It was years ago. If I remember correctly it was one of those updated daily kind of things. It was a very long list.

#7 Lack of ethnic profiling is why we're having so many problems, with so many of our ethnic people of lesser representation! E.P.O.L.R.™

#8 The writer is specific to Israel and the Palestinian territories, tabd. In that particular bit of the world, his chronology holds -- and the caring, such as it is, too. Although I suspect that had the pope not made that speech, about as much attention would have been paid in either case; nobody fussed when the PA hostage-holders used the alter of the church in Bethlehem as their toilet, and the prayer book pages to wipe their bottoms after.

#9 right. Afterall our intellecutals have more important topics to worry about.

Are Wesetern Muslims being inconvenienced due to the war that Islam has declared against the West?

Are our poor getting too fat?

Are large men, who don't shave and wear fishnet stockings under their miniskirts, being discriminated against in the workplace?

No time for stories about the endless number of Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Chinese, Jewish victims of global jihad.

#10 No time for stories about the endless number of Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Chinese, Jewish victims of global jihad.

Don't be so quick to include muslims in that list. 'Family quarrels' are not the same thing as jihad.
