Democrats have come under criticism for refusing to label the people who killed 40 people in Beirut last Thursday, 130 people in Paris last Friday, and 28 People in Mali this morning as “Radical Islamists” or “Islamic Extremists.”
Put on the defensive, Democrats have responded with a propaganda commercial accusing Republicans of hating Mohammedans.
The problem is that no Republican has accused all Mohammedans of being terrorists. The Democrats couldn’t even find one quote from any Republican to distort in their ad into making this accusation. Republican candidates for president have been extremely careful to draw a distinction between “Radical” Mohammedans and non-violent Mohammedans.
The only people who aren’t making this distinction are the Democrats. Thus, the Democrats imply, through their propaganda ad, that there is no distinction to be made between Islamic Terrorists and All Muslims. Republicans say, “We want to keep terrorists out and defeat Islamic Extremism.” Democrats say, “You just attacked all Muslims.”
Ipso Facto, Democrats have just said that Mohammedans are radicals and terrorists
The moderate moslem wants the regular moslem to kill you. If they don’t want to kill gays and loose women they are violating the tenants of their faith.
Bath House Barry rips off VA & gives even more to moslem refusegees.

Budgeted 4.5 billion divided by 10,000 Syrians — WTF? almost half a million dollars EACH??
All Muslims are not terrorists.
All cops are not racists.
Up until the 1950s, certainly up until the 1930s, political refugees and social refugees who came to America did-so on their own dime…or where supported by various official or unofficial charities and ethnocentric aid societies. The law — and social custom — was quite explicit that they were not to be a burden on Society.
At the same time it was understood that they would have the benefit of access to the schools and other traditional and non-traditional means of aid, employment and advancement that other Americans had.
Apparently now we both suppor them while they are “safe” in a host country awaiting clearance, and once here they have access to the Guv’mint Teat for support and services denied those already here or born here. Some for 5-yrs, some for 10, some for a generation or perhaps two. Why? Why are we paying for them to come here?
We don’t “pay” the central-American who walked across the Sonora to slip cross the border. We don’t “pay” the heavily-indebted PhD candidate with the H1b-visa, or the Medical Intern with the accent we still can’t understand. We didn’t “pay” the Irish, the German, the Italian, the Hungarian, or the Ashkenazim to emigrate here…to liberty and prosperity We excluded the Asian for decades even when it wasn’t in our own interests.
Yet now we “pay” for refugees. We fund asylum-seekers. We are “expected” to repatriate any Afghan, Iraqi or other third-worlder who ever helped or spoke to an American soldier or contractor as-a-Right? We — as a global society — let them “shop” what country has the best benefits, the richest teat, the most favorable repatriation…even as they reside in a “safe country” now. …WTF??
All people are not stupid. But most of them are.
This whole “All Muslims, etc.” game is a complete waste of time.
As with everything on the Left, the argument is never about what you think the argument is about.
Anyone who ever was awake through Logic 101 –if they even teach that now, since it is inundated with White Male Oppression– knows that a universal –All are and All are not– is not a general –Many are and Many are not.
For actual life, universals are rarely useful. We live our lives in the real world on the general and the probable.
But with the Left and Islam, there is no discussion. Don’t even bother.
The liberal/progressive ideology is based on collectivism, so everyone is judged by his/her gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. And whatever you say about a person is assumed to apply to everyone who belongs to the same group.
You say, “Obama is in over his head.” The liberal hears, “All black people are unqualified for public office.” You say, “Michael Brown attacked a cop, and the cop was forced to shoot him in self-defense.” The liberal translates that into, “All blacks deserve to be shot dead.” You criticize Hillary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi, and the liberals hear you say, “All women should stay home and bake cookies instead of having careers and jobs.” You say that you think Carol Burnett is funnier than Rosie O’ Donnell, and the liberal hears you say, “I hate all LGBT’s.”
So, naturally, if you say, “We need to defeat ISIS,” the liberal hears, “All Muslims should be exterminated.” It does no good to explain that you are talking about one specific person or organization; in the leftist mindset, there is no such thing as a specific individual.
Special dispensation is granted, though, to allow liberals to criticize Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter, Clarence Thomas, or Ben Carson.
I thought the same thing when, after 9-11, politicians (including GWB) headed for the nearest mosque to tell the heathens that it had nothing to do with Islam: “if it’s nothing to do with Islam then why are you at a mosque telling us it has nothing to do with Islam?”
Allahu Akbar is Arabic for “nothing to see here”. – Mark Steyn
I’ve long doubted the existence of the “moderate” Muslim but, it they exist, I wonder if their silence is due to the fact that “liberal” westerners will line up with radical Muslims to denounce the moderates should they speak up.
One need not be an actual terrorist to facilitate terrorism. The Muslims shouting Allahu Akbar at a soccer match in Turkey during a moment of silence for Paris may not be inclined to take up the scimitar to start sawing heads but they certainly make it easier for those that do.
My brother posted the five years old video of David Horowitz getting a Muslim student to say she’s “for” the genocide of Jews, despite doing a follow-up blogpost on the event a few days after it happened, years before the video went viral. She’s a young person who obviously messed up big-time, yet, here is my brother being one of the mindless many reposting this old video on FB, because … why? It advances the conversation? Not really. It just muddles it and solves nothing.
With statements like these, I guess there really is no discussion. Islam? Really?
I loved how they included GWB in that video. In case anyone forgot that EVERYTHING that is happening now is his fault…
The other thing that just fries me is the fact that people who acted as interpreters for us in Afghanistan and Iraq and put themselves and their families in grave danger (especially since we abandoned them) are being denied asylum in America. Yet we are welcoming hordes of people of unknown backgrounds and unproven loyalty to just flood into our country. It’s absolutely wrong and disgusting.
So when we send the police in to break up these idiot student protests, should we send in only police who are gay black trans Muslims, so the Lefties will feel they earned and deserved their beatings?
If you look at the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia, Muslims can’t even get along with their fellow Muslims, let alone the West!
Reziac- we pay tons. Drug resistant TB costs on average $500k to treat. While AIDS drugs run $2k-$5k a month lower IQ non complaint patients cost more. There is a refugee family in Swisserland where they have a pay as you go system that costs over $60,000USD a month.
