This article appeared in the New York Sun today.  It is worthy of our serious consideration, one more piece of the pie of understanding what faces us.

I think that would be a good idea.

I totally agree. We have been de-facto censored by some of the most bigoted people on earth. It is a total one-way street in practice, and we have allowed or own PC to get us all wrapped up in "their" problem.
Thanks.

Bigoted Daniel Pipes has very little in the way of credibility. As for censorship he has never raised any objection when people are routinely arrested for daring to protest against Bush or Blair in violation of established liberty guarantees. Talk about double standards!

luckky _: Good God, do you converse with L.Ron Hubbard daily, or is he channeled through you? You are existing is a world unknown to me. You really are just a flamer, right?

Ben: The thing I found out reading that and is the scariest is the idea that in HAMTRAMICK, MICH. they changed the NOICE ordinances so that the Muslims could install speakers for the daily call to prayers 5 times a day from 6 am to 7 pm. INSANE! Can't the bastards read a watch or clock or does that have to be in some ancient gobledeegook!?

Scarier still, Grateful, is that we have madrassas teaching hatred for the West, Israel, etc, just like most of Europe.

It is a shame that we tolerate this, Ben. I wonder if this is how thoughtful people felt in the years before WW II?

Not sure, Christopher, but I would say yes. I was just a couple years too young, but do recall my parent's concerns were pretty much the same. Dad had a lot of bad things to say about Roosevelt domestically, but knew we would eventually have to stop both Germany and Japan.
