I believe the anti-Muslim culture in America is alienating American-born Muslims, and radicalizing them. If we applied the same logic to all people that is applied to Muslims who would be left to inhabit this country?

Blame the victim! Right. The truth is that the vast majority of Americans didn't blame all Muslims, not for the first attack, or the second, or the third... Indeed, I haven't seen any evidence that the majority of Americans are blaming Muslims or Islam, even now that we've had multiple attacks just this year. Still the President and many other Leftists are quick to jump on the bandwagon proclaiming that we are. Then, they ascribe the whole problem to us blaming Muslims and Islam, that by doing so we are radicalizing Muslims. Well, I'm not politically correct. I don't surrender my freedom of speech. The President is not going to win this battle, not with me, not matter how many times he repeats the charge, and I trust that most Americans are with me on this one.

LTC Marc King - Well, thank you for the consideration, Marc. Thanks for telling me the links didn't work; they worked for me yesterday, so I'll check that out. I suppose I should have said "Men, especially leaders of nations like the Confederacy, believed that slavery was God's will" or something like that. I appreciate hearing the reason why my argument failed. Have a good day and a great week!

MAJ Carl Ballinger - I would apologize and retract if I called a name in this rather polite argument, but I don't see any of my posts containing insults or names. I do see two personal attacks, "obtuse" and "dishonest," but they are not in my posts.

SPC Rory J. Mattheisen - My grandfather left Germany when it was a bad thing to be a Jew AND came to American when it was a bad time to be a German. He tolerated a tremendous amount of hate, bigotry, and discrimination. Difference in his story: 70-years ago we were fighting a nation. Today, we are fighting in ideology... and the "average" American is not able to discern between the two.

I think it's more in that immigrants of old wanted to assimilate to American culture. Not sure if that's the paradigm nowadays.

Is awfulizing a word?
Interesting take on a religion/political system that has so called holy men calling for the death of Homos.
Playing the victim is classic Islamic behavior. I suspect, we will read a report, or two soon on a Mosque set on fire by one of their own.
It's happened before.
If you are going to follow Muhammad, get to doing so! Or, get another religion/political system.
