A caller to Rush Limbaugh made this point.
The Obamacrats are adamant… ADAMANT… that Islamist Terrorists are not Islamic because Islam is a “religion of peace” and terrorism is un-Islamic. Therefore, they say, those who practice terrorism cannot really be Islamic.
And yet, when a terrorist is sent to GITMO, the administration bends over backwards to make sure they have access to Korans, prayer rugs, halal food… all the things an observant Muslim requires.
Why do they do this, if the terrorists aren’t really Islamic?
Just to make clear, the Islamo-friendly policies at Gitmo date to the GWB years.
And it was the Bushies that enacted a policy where we, the dirty infidels, only handle the Koran with gloves. Nothing like confirming to the enemy that, yes, we are filth.
I am getting all Islam’d out.
To avoid offending peaceful Muslims, clearly all terrorists should be denied religious rites when killed, since they aren’t really muslim. In face, we should probably put pork chops in their mouths, just to be on the safe side.
I saw a picture of a fake (darn it) product: a shotgun shell filled with 00 shot and bacon bits. Ah, if only it were true.
(Although if I took up hand loading. Hmm….)
What still astounds me is the way liberals claim that the detainees at GTMO are covered by the Geneva Convention.
But they aren’t. Only uniformed enemy combatants are covered. Combatants without uniforms are not.
This is why spies, during warfare can be, and have been, tortured for information.
That’s one of my favourite “Stupid Liberal tricks.”
Me: So you want the terrorists in Gitmo held to Geneva?
Liberal: Yes! They deserve their rights under Geneva.
Me: Good, we agree. We can take them out and shoot them, under Geneva.
I think a better response to “terrorists aren’t actually Muslim” is this: if someone went around saying that “the vast majority of 15th-century European Christians were peace-loving and tolerant of Jews and heretics, and the few who participated in violent pogroms don’t technically count as Christian,” most people would call BS. In recent years, even Popes and other Christian leaders have acknowledged that past evils committed by Christendom were sometimes openly endorsed and rationalized by church leaders.
Why hold contemporary Muslim culture to a lower standard than medieval Europe?
You misunderstand. The detainees at GITMO are given the opportunity to adhere to Islam as a test to determine which are Islamic and which are terrorists.
So many, as it turns out, are Islamic that Obama is most comfortable setting them free, because, as a consensus has proven and we all must accept, Islam is a religion of peace. Anyone at GITMO who balks at partaking of all things Islamic is quite obviously a terrorist.
I think they have pretty much determined that no one detained at GITMO is a terrorist. What a travesty our country has committed in our names!
