Utter filth. I am very angry, and I am very frightened.
Every decent person ought to be more than ashamed and outraged that this man and his republican supporters are Americans.
Their claims are thinly disguised hate speech, and completely made up.
They claim CAIR has links to Al-Qaida, even claimed they had proof - and all they produced is a policy document, very similar to that of any other lobbying group, discussing how to woo influence whilst trying to forward their agenda of furthering plurality - yet they and many republicans saw a Muslim conspiracy. Bigotry at it's most obvious.
Of course to this new breed of proud bigot, pluralism will lead to all sorts of conspiracies to take over America and(more importantly of course) destroy their distorted, fundamentalist 'Christianity'.
Therefore to them, plurality in itself is evil. They don't think too hard about even that which they're most passionate, in my opinion.
I doubt they'd ever be happy until Muslims are all behind a wall Berlin style. Or Warsaw Ghetto style.
And once the Muslim rat is smashed, they'll look for a new enemy. Who'll it be? Liberals? Methodist Christians? Hindus?
They've made it perfectly clear they desperately need an enemy to be frightened of - Cheney and his fear policies gave them everything they needed for the past 8 years, but with a presidency not based on the superiority of one type of chirstiany, and accepting the fundamental principle of religious freedom, they no longer have an authoriutarian guiding light in the white house.
So, they're running around like headless chickens, making the most bizarre claims about the most extreme conspiracy theories, rendering all that hard work Cheney did creating a pretend enemy to fear and beat the profitable war drums over, an utter joke.
I just hope that while America as a whole is catching up with the rest of the world and discovering that Muslims are not the enemy - that extremism is the enemy(a lesson the world has not forgotten, but right wing America apparently has), that not too many Muslims are killed and/or victimized.

Islamize America? Could work, the secularizing and collectivizing hasn't gone anywhere.

When isn't a good time to stoke fear and hate?

I thought that's what he was already doing.

I'm probably going to sound contrary, but I'd stick a microphone in front of this putz every chance I got. Then ask Myrick why she's promoting the views of someone like this. Ask the other members of the Limbaugh Party whether they agree with his views. The way to get rid of cockroaches is with a bright light.

While I don't endorse this crazy's tactics, he does raise an issue worth considering, though in a totally jackbooted fashion (surprise). It is up to the individual religious communities to keep an eye on their own, be they Muslim, Jewish or Christian. Only internal pressure can circumvent acts of violence, not a clampdown by the authorities (which will only make it worse). The fundamentalist elements hold too much sway, and in doing so have labeled their religion(s) as one of war, not brotherhood. And I'm not just speaking of Islam here, either.

Yeah, let's have good ol' bookburning! Then we can lynch us some n- Oh wait, wrong meeting.

Do these people even *think* before they talk, or are they Orwell's "doubleplusgood duckspeakers" that talk without using their brains?

and here i was thinking that train had already left the station.

If Muslims do not want a backlash, then I would recommend a "house cleaning." Stack every Saudi, al Qaeda, Pakistani, Taliban, Hamas, and Muslim Brotherhood piece of material from their mosque and have a bonfire.

kristallnacht, anyone?

First the fringe right gives us the American Taliban, now they give us American cossacks.

Josh was dead on when he said this was going to get ugly.
