Interesting word, this one.
Question for the moral equivalency types: did you watch the video I linked? The one with the toddler covered in her own mother's blood, crying? Do you want to talk about the potty law, or that?
Please possess the courage that this administration lacks and call this shit what it actually is.
I have no problem personally stating that Islam as practiced in most countries is a backwards-ass religion that directly inspires misogyny, violence, oppression and general barbarism. I think that is a true fact. Further, I think that form(s) of Islam is not compatible with Western values and that integrating practitioners thereof into Western societies is a real problem.
What I have trouble understanding is how it serves the national interest of the United States of America to make condemning Islam, much less declaring war on it or spending taxpayer dollars bombing its practitioners, the official foreign policy stance of United States government.
No problem with Paragraph 2, and borderline crestfallen at how little agreement there seems to be on Paragraph 1.
See, this is confusing to me. You appear to think the Obama administration lacks courage to do something. What exactly? Do you want the foreign policy of the US to involve loudly condemning Islam as a whole and telling the majority of its 1.4 billion practitioners to get their collective heads out of their medieval asses? If so, how does that square with your agreement to my paragraph 2? You post these positions all the time - namely, that somehow the Obama administration is a bunch of pussies who won't man up and take on Islam, but at the same time you also state repeatedly you want the US out of the Mideast. It's curious, to say the least.
