Faux outrage is way overblown.. - sm

[ In Reply To ..]
While I agree that the "faux" outrage is waaaay overblown, I'd also have to say that the decision by the U.S. Embassy was equally idiotic. So what if Ramadan occurs during July? How does our celebration of our national holiday, in any way offend Muslims? Should the U.S. Embassy in Israel re-schedule Christmas or Easter, because they might conflict with the Jewish holidays of Yom Kippur and Passover? And those are religious holidays, as well as social ones, while Independence Day is totally secular. A better way to deal with it - I might suggest - would be to emphasize that July 4th is the day we celebrate our freedoms - including our freedom to be Muslims, if we so choose. The Indonesian allies can come to enjoy the traditional American July 4th afternoon barbecue .... because Muslims have to adhere to the dawn-to-dusk fasting required during the period of Ramadan.

Who even cares? It's Jakarta. They don't even - have 4th of July there.

It can be moved to December 25th, for all the effect that would have on Americans. Why would an American feel it was necessary to celebrate an American holiday while living/traveling/doing business in a country that doesn't celebrate it? Ridiculous.

Muslims ??Feb 25, 2012
Its surprising to me to see so many of these threads devoted to Islam when our real enemies are the fat cats in our own government and financial institions and the corporations who have taken their factories OS and who use OS workforces to cut us out of the picture except as the consumers.  The threat from radical Islam is small and inconsequential in comparison to what has been done to us on a secular level and we are deluding ourselves, and I believe, being fooled into focusing on a small ...

Muslims And Gays In The MilitaryFeb 03, 2010
OK, somebody has to say it. It’s uncomfortable and it makes whoever says it open to being called a “Pharisee,” a “homophobe,” a “bigot,” a sanctimonious hater, a benighted troglodyte, or worse. Somebody has to endure that, though. We need to act like grown up, secure people who can talk about difficult things and resolve them. So, to quote one of my favorites, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, “Call me a relic, call me what you will. Say I&rsq ...

The Bizarre Notion That Muslims Must Become A MajorityJul 16, 2016
Someone posted an (incorrect) analysis regarding the theoretical increase in the Muslim population in America.  It failed to take a number of factors into account and was slanted in a painfully obvious way toward her position, but that's not what I'm discussing here. I think, sometimes, that the most treasonous failure of the American educational system is that it manages to spit out "graduates" (even from college) who haven't the faintest notion not only of how to think or ...

Obama: Europe Should Better Integrate Muslims.Jan 16, 2015
These communities distinctly do NOT WANT to be integrated.  They want to set up mini-states - or, literally, mini-caliphates - within the host countries, where Sharia law prevails, where the imams rule, where they literally have their own "police force", where the language of the host country is not spoken, and where citizens and even emergency services of the host country are not welcome to enter.  There are literally hundreds of these mini-states now in Europe, and integration - exce ...

Now, this probably won't matter much, considering the audience he is playing to.

Among Muslims, the only difference between "radicals" and "moderates" is disagreement about what method(s) should be employed to achieve this objecti ...

Last Update: June 12, 2014 575 US troops died in Afghanistan during the Bush presidency. By August 18, 2010, following two troop surges initiated by President Obama, that number had doubled. Today, over 1500 US troops have died in Afghanistan since President Obama took office—and yet, little in that war-torn country has changed. These numbers should give us pause. While the Administration has publicly conceded that there is no military solution in Afghanistan, and claimed that it support ...
