December 4, 201510 yr I'm very comfortable with my biases, thank you. Which means you'll never confuse me with the "both sides are to blame" crowd. But I digress. I also would point out that if you fear the First Amendment is under assault, as you do, then you better think twice about electing a GOP president to go with a GOP-controlled Congress. That's when the stuff really hits the fan. You and I agree 100% on this, both sides have major issues, they both go to extremes. We need a moderate government, a moderate world...
December 4, 201510 yr I wasn't singling you out, I was making the point that once you peel back all the politics, religion and bias the answer is the same: Good Cops and Good Muslims need to call out the bad ones or the Cops and Muslims that don't are part of the problem, not the solution. We need to quit feeling sorry for and/or protecting Good Muslims, if they are not helping us get rid of the evil Muslims (Islamic Terrorists - I don't want to debate semantics) they are NOT good Muslims. Farook's own brother-in-law called him out. But, I agree with you.
December 4, 201510 yr Farook's own brother-in-law called him out. But, I agree with you. On a side note, I don't know how accurate this is but I saw a talking head (on Fox I believe because I do venture over to CNN and back to NBC some) but the guy said they did some type of study of 100 Mosques and 80% of them had information on radical Islam in them. ^ This was playing in the background everyone, I may not have the stats right but I believe I have his point right.
December 4, 201510 yr Here is a link, I didn't read it: Radical Mosques in America: Is There One Near You?
December 4, 201510 yr I do have a problem with the words she used. My point is some people wouldn't be so nice and call it a poor choice of words if it came from either of the two I mentioned.
December 4, 201510 yr Farook's own brother-in-law called him out. But, I agree with you. CAIR also did the same in a way. But they really dont care. All they are worried about is a retaliation and to make sure Americans stay tolerant of their beliefs.
December 4, 201510 yr My point is some people wouldn't be so nice and call it a poor choice of words if it came from either of the two I mentioned.Trump kind of sets himself up for it.
December 4, 201510 yr Here is a link, I didn't read it: Radical Mosques in America: Is There One Near You? One right here in good old Lexington, Ky.
December 4, 201510 yr Here is a link, I didn't read it: Radical Mosques in America: Is There One Near You? Some people don't want to believe there are radical Muslims in this country and you will be ridiculed if you say it. I read a book once written by a Jewish lady who escaped the middle east. She went under cover in mosques around the US as part of her job and she said she wondered if many of the English speaking Muslims in some of the mosques had any clue what they were hearing when the anti American hate speech started in Arabic.

You got the 80 right but your use of it is extremely off: The segment follows the Daily Caller's creation of a map of over 80 radical mosques based on Clarion's research. This is about four percent of the estimated 2,106 mosques in the U.S., the news site wrote From the link you provided.

Last few months should prove that.
December 4, 201510 yr You got the 80 right but your use of it is extremely off: From the link you provided. I am really sorry about that everyone, like I said, I couldn't vouch for the accuracy. Either way, one Mosque allowing it is one too many.
December 4, 201510 yr I am really sorry about that everyone, like I said, I couldn't vouch for the accuracy. Either way, one Mosque allowing it is one too many.Don't disagree. I think you already know the problem when people use the incorrect numbers.
December 4, 201510 yr This is a great interview with Sam Harris, noted atheist. He owns this interviewer over and over. It is very long but well worth it. Sam Harris: The ‘Salon’ Interview: Sam Harris
December 4, 201510 yr I think the mindset that it is government's responsibility to cure all ills, solve all problems, provide for all people, is part of the problem. It is impractical, and discourages people to take personal responsibility for their actions, and when things inevitably don't work out....lay that blame, and sometimes violently, onto others.
