Hey Paul,

I hope you won't close the discussion. We all need a place to vent and the title of this topic is a defacto warning that the contents will be *hot*. We're all adults.

It's my sincerest belief that the cure to speech you don't like is more speech; never censorship or a gag. I know you're the admin and this is your group, but I implore you to consider the stifling effect that suppressing an unpopular opinion has in the long run.

If you disapprove of what a poster is advocating, challenge it, ridicule it, rip it to shreds, attack the premises, or just plain disagree. But please reserve the admin power for universally inappropriate and off topic nonsense like Viagra and Nigerian Bank letters ^_^

this is getting a little too personal and I vote to shut the group down if we can't rise above this level. Let's not forget why we're here...to support each other with our children serve in the US Navy....

Mike... That number is probably pretty close as far as Muslims in general not causing problems,but don't you think that about the same number could apply to the tea party people as being terrorists per statements from the current admin.

Terrorists are only a part of the problem in our country. One of the other problems is the way this country is run by elected officials.As far as your little cartoon,I don't think we want to go back quite that far,but I will tell you this I am tired as heck getting up every day ,5 and 6 days a week,every week and paying for those that don't have the the drive to do so for themselves.Everybody has struggles in their lives from time to time and needs help,but I see to many people that take the easy way out and stay on the public dole.If I was a little younger and there were more hours in the day I would go out and get a second job,but after I hit 45 I quit working more than one.

Have a nice day!!!!!

Steve !!!!!!!!

Clarification on a previous post -- I wrote ambiguously, so I want to be clear that I don't approve of Iranian nukes. I do understand how rational Iranians can argue for them, though.

Yes, it does take two to tango -- and thanks for reading the whole Post article, BTW -- the problem is if 999,999 Muslim kids say no and 1 says yes, you have a jihadi who can take down an airliner. The good guys have to succeed every time, the bad guys only have to succeed once.

The difference for Muslims is that the 1 is taken by the broader population, or at least the bigoted among them, to represent all Muslims. In contrast, no one thought Tim McVeigh represented all veterans when he murdered 168 people, or Eric Rudolph represented all Christians when he bombed the Olympics in Atlanta.

I do have to ask how outsider jihadis have such easy access to campuses. That's a more important question than whether or not Islam is a "religion of peace". My answer to the latter is there is no such thing as a religion of peace. Consider the Troubles in Ireland, the Rape of Nanking, and the partition of India to see that Christians, Shinto, Hindus and Muslim alike have a lot to answer for. Any religion can be perverted, and has been.

it's an interesting article Mike and it starts to show the difficult postion that the past decade has placed American Muslims in...as far as recruiting youth however, I'm reminded sof something my father used to say all the time..."it takes two to tango...." and if there was not a receptive audience then I doubt campus recruiters would be very successful.....and I have no idea how to break that cycle. We, as a nation, have certainly not come up with very many effective ways to break that cycle when dealing with inner city gangs....

praise be to Allah that we have no HOME GROWN Islamic fascist ! we are ALL peaceful loving people.

Comment by Rex on December 30, 2009 at 3:11pm

Islam the religion of peace, but wait a minute we are only 5% radical. The rest of the 95% of us are quiet Christan loving people too. we never speak up against our bad brothers. we also live in fear but we keep that under wraps too . we also get a lot of criticism from people but we just wonder why ?
