Arab Winter Setting In -- Gonna Be a Doozy...

[Clinton Huxley]

Quoting Infowars is one step removed from quoting David Icke.

[Cormac]

In my view we are in the midst of two major conflicts, one about resources, and one about culture. The second is one that politicians will not acknowledge because it could inflame matters into a world war type escalation. This is the aim of Al Qaeda and their fellow travellers.

We cannot allow democratic and enlightenment advances to fall to theocratic benightedness.

Peace with the Arab / Muslim world is easy. Just limit your dealings with them to trade; no immigration and no complaining about how "barbaric" they are.
But first we must purge our countries of all Muslims, and the easiest way to do that is to pay Muslim countries to take them back.

I honestly can't tell if you're trying to Poe us with opinions like that.

Why aren't those countries "taking them back" right now? Because they're not being paid? Or because immigrants require incentives?

Why would I Poe when that is a serious and workable solution?

Both sides require incentives, simply gassing them would cause an "uproar". They won't leave voluntarily because of the differences in welfare and standard of living as well as personal freedom or for nefarious take over purposes. Paying the host country money gives them an incentive to encourage the idea and stifle local opposition to it.

Afterwards, we can just buy their oil and limit our involvement to that.

[Warren Dew]

One from foxnews and and one from the weekly standard. The foxnews link I used because all it was doing was quoting Jimmy Carter. And, the Weekly Standard was a short bland report of a mob outside the London consulate.

What is wrong with that?

Any source that doesn't drink the kool aid can't be trusted, you know. Have to have those facts filtered through the Obama filter before they're safe to read.

[Coito ergo sum]

The day I’m inaugurated, not only the country looks at itself differently, but the world looks at America differently … If I’m reaching out to the Muslim world they understand that I’ve lived in a Muslim country and I may be a Christian, but I also understand their point of view … My sister is half-Indonesian. I traveled there all the way through my college years. And so I’m intimately concerned with what happens in these countries and the cultures and perspective these folks have. And those are powerful tools for us to be able to reach out to the world … then I think the world will have confidence that I am listening to them and that our future and our security is tied up with our ability to work with other countries in the world that will ultimately makes us safer.

- B. Obama, November 21, 2007.

Clearly, another success predicted, and achieved. Glorious!

[Coito ergo sum]

The government defended the right of magazine Charlie Hebdo to publish the cartoons, which played off of the U.S.-produced film "The Innocence of Muslims," and riot police took up positions outside the offices of the magazine, which was firebombed last year after it released an edition that mocked radical Islam. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/ ... 9-06-43-47

Never thought I'd be saying "hooray, French! Hip hip hooray! Huzzah and all that!"

Way to go!

Publish those cartoons, and do not apologize!

[laklak]

Yeah, it's getting real interesting out there. I say we keep whipping them up until they all die of apoplexy. Or a few nukes, depending on how they respond.

[Coito ergo sum]

I really think the only way to get them to stop is to STOP apologizing.

There has to be some unity against this crap. Like clear statements from political leaders, like, "Look - we live in free countries which means that where we live, people can publish stuff that they want to publish. We do not allow violence as a response to peaceful publication. We aren't going to use state power to stop peaceful expression, and that means by Muslims, whether Sunni, Shia or any other faction, as well as any other group or religion or individual. It's fair and it's equal. Try it sometime."

[laklak]

I want to publish a drawing of Mo fist-fucking Ganesh. Get both the Muzzies and Hindus all whipped up, then put 'em in a pit and bet on the outcome. Fundy Baiting, it's the new Dog Fighting.

Where was an actual Obama apology?

Quite correctly he pointed out that Merkins generally aren't anti-Muslim and generally we don't like that kind of religion baiting. This is true and worth pointing out while we have troops in Afghanistan relying on Muslim cooperation.

I never saw an example of him apologise for our freedom of speech. If you have, then I'd be interested in a link.

[Coito ergo sum]

When the support for free speech is coupled with qualifications that we "deplore it when people denigrate other people's religions" and such, then I consider that to be apologetic, regardless of who says it. Both Democrats and Republicans are guilty of this. Nobody has outright, literally apologized, but any expressions of "understanding" relative to murder, mayhem and wanton destruction of property in response to a video or a cartoon is in my view apologetic.

Many of us DO like that kind of religion bating. Take the popularity of "everybody draw Mohammed Day" and plays like "the book of Mormon" and various religious humor such as on the show Family Guy, South Park and other humor that pushes the envelope.

He has apologized expressly for incidents that did not deserve apologies, though, like the Qu'ran Burning incident -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Afgha ... g_protests

His essential apologies for the "arrogance" of America and kowtowing to foreign leaders, etc. -- over the last three years have added up to a rather apologetic and supine posture.

Did he ever say "I'm sorry or I apologize" -- not that I can find, except in relation to the accidental burning incident. But, it's the overall gist or message -- one doesn't have to use the exact words to get a particular message across. It's like the constitution not expressly or literally saying "separation of church and state" but any reasoned application of the First Amendment's language is that it erects such a wall of separation.

I thought the comment about deploring insulting religions was said to reinforce what is supposed to be our government's disinterest in religion. The US is not a respecter of religion, the US does not insult or encourage religion -supposedly. Unfortunately that's a fucking lie, we are Christian, and we support Christianity everywhere in the world.
