Here are three more paragraphs from his account:<BR/><BR/>"At the Dallas Morning News the other day, our editorial board received a delegation from the local Muslim community. They came in large part to complain about editorial coverage of the community, which is to say they came mostly to complain about me. Which is fine: they accurately recognize that I don't believe their claims that they are completely innocent of radicalism, and are wholly victims of irrational fear of Muslims. Once again, I came away from a meeting with them even more convinced of my views in this regard. I recorded the entire meeting, and hope to have the time in the next week or so to post lengthy excerpts. In summation, though, the group was defensive, evasive, and wouldn't give a straight answer to simple questions. <BR/><BR/>"I asked the delegation's leader to clarify something he'd said to me and some colleagues last time we met, about his belief that homosexuals should be killed, adulterous women stoned, etc. He launched an elaborate defense of this position, saying that Judaism and Christianity are against homosexuality. Yes, I said, but they don't require that gays be killed for being gay. Do you believe that they should? An imam jumped in to explain why the sharia is right to require hand-chopping of thieves. Later, the delegation's leader said that if I'm asking him to apologize for what his religion requires, he's not going to do it.<BR/><BR/>"Trying to get at the heart of the matter, I asked if they thought sharia should be the law of the land in our secular pluralistic democracy. Another round of long-winded answers, amounting to, "It would never happen here." That's not what I'm asking, I said; should it happen here. Someone explained that Muslim community would never be big enough in this country to make that happen. Which is, of course, entirely beside the point, but we moved on. I had my answer."<BR/><BR/>Did you get that? "An imam jumped in to explain why the sharia is right to require hand-chopping of thieves."<BR/><BR/>This is a big problem.Punditarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979719360227114238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8475986.post-1166502217468631822006-12-18T23:23:00.000-05:002006-12-18T23:23:00.000-05:009/11 proved that we are not and cannot prtoect our...9/11 proved that we are not and cannot prtoect ourselves fro outside attack.<BR/><BR/>our vulnerability can only increase as wmd proliferate. and missiles.<BR/><BR/>the only answer is defeating the enemy; breaking the enemy.<BR/><BR/>relegating it to ther dustbin of history.<BR/><BR/>that will not require we kill every Msulim. just every militant one.<BR/><BR/>and close dopwn forever all the militant madrassas and mosques and kill or imprison all the radical imams/mullahs.<BR/><BR/><BR/>overthrowing iran and stira are necessary - BUT ONLY THE START.<BR/><BR/>as there are perhaps 200 MILLION radical militant jihadists and jihadoterror sympathizers this is obviously a longterm/multi-generational project.<BR/><BR/>separation/expulsion/"ethnic cleansing" may be a small part in some select areas.<BR/><BR/>but we can and should be more targeted/focused in our counter-attack.<BR/><BR/>and we mist tolerate shia-sunni violence along the way: it's good -- like the iran-iraq war: they kill each other like a self-cleaning overn.<BR/><BR/>as i posted many weeks ago...Reliapundithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12942299527008194753noreply@blogger.com
