— Geoff CAIR weighs in on Juan Williams:
"You have a sizeable minority of Americans who think it is legitimate to single out Muslims for special scrutiny and deny them rights all other Americans hold dear," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "That viewpoint expresses intolerance and bigotry."But you also have a sizeable minority of Muslims who think it is legitimate to indiscriminately kill peaceful folk and deny them the lives all other people hold dear. That viewpoint expresses intolerance and bigotry on a level far beyond "special scrutiny."
Until CAIR acknowledges the sizeable minority that concerns us, I don't see why we should acknowledge the one that concerns them.

I am convinced that Alinsky authored his 'Rules for Radicals' after observing how Muslims used inherent weakness and elitist self destructive tendencies of 'mature' societies to hasten the fall and assimilation of those societies.

That's funny, I didn't know Juan was somehow able to deny Muslims their basic rights here. Or does Ibrahim Hooper mean by "rights" "the special right of Muslims being exempt from scrutiny for their actions (or lack thereof)"?

But there is also a sizable minority of Muslims who believe it right deny equal civil rights to non-Muslims and who frequently kill non-Muslims.
Best I could do....I'm still feeling the effects of last night as well.

I would submit that it would be a lot easier to illustrate that that is a sizable majority rather than a sizable minority who support the killing of innocent people.
If I'm wrong please enlighten my ignorant hillbilly ass.

P.S. One of my favorite comments was to the effect that Williams was fired for being too politically correct. Once he went on Hate News he had to conform to the standards of their audience and so adapted his views to be in compliance with their political correctness.

Juan is guilty of stating the obvious. We're not supposed to do that. Better to plug the ears/cover the eyes.

I'll say this again; Our leaders and most of the people in our society look on radical Islamists as having somehow perverted the underlying peaceful nature of Islam. Nothing could be further from the truth. Nothing has been perverted. Islam, by its nature is focused on conquest with violence as a primary methodology to employ to achieve that conquest.
We and our leaders make a huge mistake in believing that there is a way to entice Muslims more easily toward peace than toward violence. As long as violence and conquest are codified in their holy writings, there will be a tendency of the adherents to follow it's dictates.
How easy does anyone here think it will be to expunge Islam of its admonishments toward violence?

A Soros Connection to Juan Williams Firing?
By: Jim Meyers
National Public RadioÂ’s firing of political pundit Juan Williams for comments he made on Fox News has raised speculation that liberal NPR patron George Soros may have influenced the media organizationÂ’s decision to ax Williams on Wednesday.Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at October 22, 2010 05:59 AM (9hSKh)
It will be an "emperor has no clothes" moment.
That moment may have arrived. Has anyone thought how this may affect the upcoming election? I believe that Obama's non-commital reaction to ground zero mosque has pushed all Dems' poll numbers down, this incident may do the same.

But you also have a sizeable minority of Muslims who this it is legitimate to indiscriminately kill peaceful folk and deny them the lives all other people hold dear.
Actually, a majority of muslims support what we call "the extremists". In islam, what we call "extreme" is mainstream. Just take a look at how Turkey's been moving since the EU forced them, in 2003, to change their Constitution and take supreme power away from the Turkish military. It's been straight down the islamist shithole ever since.

It has now been defined by the Epoch of all Libertine Scholars (a spokesperson for CAIR) that being afraid of someone is denying them their rights.
So, we should all go back and sue the State department for that report listing us all as potential terrorists: it could have caused someone to be scared of us which would have deprived us of our rights.

The real problem is that the world sees Islam as a religion, rather than a revolutionary political philosophy that uses religious power to guide its adherents. Islam is no different than National Socialism or Communism in that regard; they just use god instead of nationalism or collectivism.

Arabs are white (and quite a few of them are big time racists), Islamic terrorists kill a lot of people (including co-religionists who aren't keen on doing terrorism), and CAIR & Co. need to stfu.
I'm not sure if we completely did the trick with Shinotism though -- officially yes, but in the mind of the people not so sure. As for Islam: forget it; while you have some Muslims who granted shy away from violence that is due to personal temperment imho (which can get them into trouble, see above) -- the religion itself is built in such a way as to make it nearly impossible reform.

My favorite post was the liberal who wrote to the Ombudsbitch saying "Make Cisco70 stop saying those things." I was transported back in time to my kindergarten days in 1945 when little Johnny Finsterwald took my Twinkie, and I kicked his soon-to-be liberal ass. Dad was proud.

Political correctness is bad and everything bad is conservative; therefore, political correctness is conservative. This fits in very well with an article I read some months ago (and I think I linked it here) to the effect that North Korea is batshit crazy evil and therefore not communist. Instead they emphasize racist Juche philosophy and are therefore conservative.

Unsure of others position on Muslims, but when I arrive in the boarding area, I begin a systematic scan of all passengers, and attempt to identify anyone I consider a threat. If they're Muslims, they go to the top of the list, and if more than two as on my last flight, I find another soul with similar interest, and we hatch a plan that would include using a seat belt as a garrote, broken coffee pot glass as a throat slitter, and other dangerous conservative life-saving measures.

Ehhh... if you squint real hard, and turn your head just right, you can make it out in the emanation of the penumbra of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
Really, the logic would go this way (don't agree with, just can see the case they'd make)
1) Interstate Highways are instrumental for efficient Interstate Commerce.
2) Ergo, Congress can authorize and control Interstate Highways (US Highway System, then the IH System came from roughly this reasoning- also military mobility).
3) Interstate/US Highways go through Cities and Towns.
4) By our authority to control Interstate Highways, we can mandate how the signs are made/formatted/displayed.
5) Other roads in cities and towns connect to Interstate Highways, thus making them part of the Interstate Highway System.
6) Congress has control of the Interstate Highway System
7) Ergo, Congress has control over how road/traffic signs are made/formatted/displayed on all streets in all cities and towns.
It was the same kind of logic that led to IH-635 and IH-820 (Highway loops in Dallas, and Ft. Worth, respectively) which don't even cross all of Texas, let alone are actually "Interstate" in any meaningful way.

Spare me. Everyone, as in EVERYONE, has problems getting on a plane with decked out Muslims. Not a minority, not a majority, everyone. If they say they don't, they are lying.

Even though CPB (and therefore NPR and PBS) are subsidized by the Government, they are, on paper, independent NGO corporations. That means NPR could fire Juan for anything they wanted at any time (providing there was no Union or Contractual agreement saying otherwise). Let's drop the 1st amendment BS- they were no more infringing on his 1st amendment rights than Country Radio stations were infringing on the Dixie Chix's when they went to (Germany? France? whichever) and said they were "ashamed that Bush is from Texas."
That's why we're looking for defunding- make CPB really be a private corporation and my outrage goes away- at that point it would still be stupid for them to do something similar, but since they wouldn't be receiving any money from the government, we couldn't really complain.

I bet the liberal weenies would have no problem with a rapist who had sex with a minor in the movie?

If your talking about that child molesting dirtbag Polanski I'm sure they would not.
That's somewhat hypothetical of course, but that's the smart way to bet. Interestingly, the same film makers didn't have a problem with convicted rapist Mike Tyson in the first The Hangover. That's rape-rape convicted rapist Mike Tyson, not Goldberg-wink-and-a-nod-rape convicted rapist Mike Tyson.

Okay, fair. Most of the complaints I've heard along those lines, though, have been centered on the idea that NPR was infringing on JW's 1st amendment rights.

Damn skippy! If only the Mohammedan Mouthpiece's lickspittles would come for me, I could be the new champion of the right (whom I dissed for years as a contented NPR employee) and give up the freedom to draw checks simultaneously from NPR and Fox News in favor of a nice new $2 million deal with Fox! And I could get my "plight" covered at least three times per hour on Fox, too....

It was that same logic that allows Hawaii to have "Interstate Highways", despite the fact that cars can't swim very well. (Something that Ted Kennedy was secretly working on that July evening in 1969, but omelets and eggs, yanno....)

This dust-up is a lot more than simply defunding NPR? It's clear that NPR has violated the terms and conditions of it's Congressional Charter, and should lose its 501 (c) tax exempt status. They also receive preferential frequency assignments, and this should be scrutinized and reallocated to the revenue generating stations instead of NPR.
It should be about the tax generating businesses that fund America, and not the faux-businesses like NPR that suck from the taxpayers and generate nothing but liberal inspired bias and no revenue.

mister hooper, if you are frutrated at us lowly knuckledraggers having negative thoughts of your co-religionists you should ask Your Co Religionists to stop threatening "i kill you " for cartoons, words commenting on your Co Religionists extremist ideas, like killing for insulting islam.
you know we have pictures from all over the world most countries in fact from the west to east, same co-religionists threatening violence against everyone else!

I think that the 1st amendment argument has some validity. They are partly funded by the government, therefore they are at least in part, an organ of government. So his firing for expressions of personal opinion (clearly protected speech) is an infringement of his rights.
How important that is? Eh. What is important is the strife among the left, and the trouble it is causing Obama's minions.

"You have a sizeable minority majority of Americans Muslims who think it is legitimate to single out Muslims Christians and Jews for special scrutiny and deny them rights all other Americans Muslims hold dear," said Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "That viewpoint expresses intolerance and bigotry."

Here is a non politically correct question for all the Islamic people - who are just too stupid to know they have been tricked into worshiping Satan - what do you think would happen if the United States decided to go all terrorist on your pathetic asses while denying to the world we were doing anything? You think IED's are effective? We wouldn't have to improvise ours, and the guys delivering them wouldn't be committing suicide.
That is just one partial answer to the question: "What do you do with a billion member Manson family?"

164 That's why I consider the "moderate" thing to be a misnomer -- I think there are Muslims who personally wink at the violent parts because they have chosen to not go there and are trying to reform their religion (on a personal or extra personal level) and/or they aren't particularly religious completely and are just MINOs (that would make them "bad" Muslims, apostates, etc. -- which, hell, I'm all for more Muslims becoming "bad" Muslims); then there are those who are religious...which means they have some abiding belief in jihad, all the way from not condemning it to actively doing it (which means killing all unbelievers, including the Muslims of instance #1). The book itself comes down clearly on the side of group 2 though, hence the problems.
And I would equate Islam with Shintoism to a point (the religio-political aspects have some similarity), but in some ways it's more like the mindset of the Chinese: once in the hands of Islam (and this is stretched to its furthest interpretation), always Islam's (kind of like the Chinese think of Taiwan, Vietnam, Tibet, Mongolia, even Korea). Whatever else, I don't think the Japanese bought into the idea that they were doing anything other than conquering and colonizing alien territory; made it easier for them to renounce lost captured territory imho. Plus the Japanese historically weren't so fanatic anyway, loyal, but not that fanatic -- much like the Germans of WWII, they had to be propagandized to a degree.

Another problem is the substantial number of Muslims who 'oppose terrorism' but only when the victims are Muslims. Then there is the 'oppose terrorism' "in all its forms." That's code for Israel and the US being terrorists in case you weren't aware. And finally you have the "oppose killing of all innocent people" (but kuffar -unbelievers- don't count as innocent).
I'm still waiting for as strong a Muslim reaction against mass murder as we see against cartoons and bacon. And waiting...
OTOH, if we won't defend our heritage and civilization's values, why should they _literally_ stick their necks out to help us? The same dynamic we see in Afghanistan applies in London, Paris, or Dearborn. If we won't fight for our individual liberties and secular legal system, they won't do it for us. Tony Blair put two and two together on this recently. Governments kissing up to Muslim Brotherhood Islamists drives true moderates further underground. Deep underground it often seems.
