		<description>The shoe throwing incident cannot be taboo, because this is democracy in the making- right?
We better laugh this off or we will be not so &quot;American&quot; spreading our freedoms. He,he.</description>

		<description>Multiculturalism requires tolerance of all other cultures.

Multiculturalism is a cultural belief.

Multiculturalism excludes the alternative cultural belief of non-multiculturalism. 

Hence, Multiculturalism is inadmissible in a multicultural society.</description>

		<description>If I may be so presumptuous, What islam gives us is &lt;i&gt; Takfiri&lt;/i&gt;- the slaughter of the &#039;infidel&#039; (to the will of allah, in the dar al Tawhid, or dar al Harb). Also, substitutioning &#039;jihad&#039; (struggle against unjust rulers in the dar as Salam, (countries where islam is freely practised. )) for the correct word &#039;Takfiri&#039; qualifies as an excellent example of both newspeak &lt;i&gt;and&lt;/i&gt; taqquia (lying to the &#039;infidel&#039;).

Consider Mumbai, or Rome and Vienna airports, or Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie Scotland. The slaughter of the non-muslim, the &quot;white people&quot; (there) accomplishes nothing toward (any such) struggle to uproot an unjust ruler in the dar as Salam, now does it?

Our war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and elsewhere, did precisely that. [jihad]

But if the &#039;infidel&#039; wants to call the slaughter of the &#039;infidel&#039; &quot;white people&quot; jihad, then &#039;let the infidel go ahead and lie to himself&#039; (and satisfy his standards for newspeak, (whatever that is) simultaneously).

Isalm starts taqquia; if we continue to lie to ourselves, by calling it jihad, instead of Takfiri, then we have ourselves to blame, as well.</description>

		<description>in some of the more liberal Jewish synagogues i have visited here in NYC, the Hebrew word &quot;mitzvot&quot; is translated as &quot;spiritual opportunities&quot;.

this interpretation reminds me of that old Charlton Heston movie, &quot;Moses and the 10 Spitritual Opportunities&quot;.</description>

		<description>Do?

Produce a conservative dictionary:

Words in:
Acsesis, dimpse, miscegenation, phlogiston, phrenology, roinish, etc.</description>

		<description>My reaction to this article is to shrug and think, &quot;So what?&quot;  Enough pointless griping about Bad Things - tell us what conservatives should actually DO about them! How do we fight back against Newspeak and creeping Sharia?</description>

		<description>Take a look at your 2008 calendar before you throw it away.  If it’s anything like mine, you’ll see at least 6 days of the year are marked as Moslem days of note.  These include Ramadan, Ashura and Eid al Fitr.

My calendar was made, published and printed in the USA (!)  and it’s the same brand I’ve been using for at least a decade now.  I haven’t kept past issues, but I bet even as little as 5 years ago, these Moslem dates were not shown.

Granted that 6 days out of 365 is not much, but of course, that’s not the point.  And, chances are that within 5 years, even more Moslem holidays will make their debut.  After all, the calendar still does not show such important dates as the beginning of the Hajj (currently on-going in Mecca) and the Birthday of the Prophet.

It’s also interesting to note that more than ½ of the “Western” holidays have nothing to do with religion:  Veterans’ Day, Thanksgiving, Mother’s Day,  Independence Day and so on, whereas all the Moslem dates are 100% religious (can you believe that in the Moslem world there is no such thing as Mother’s Day !?).  

A dissertation could be written on the significance of what all this means, but one thing springs to mind right now:  “Soft Jihad”, the mainstreaming of Islamic values and institutions into Western societies by legal means, is making inroads in places that are most unexpected…and what’s worse, that on the surface appear totally innocuous.</description>

		<description>Other things you can get away saying during the Holidays...&quot;Are those fake?&quot; (Wow, they look real to me!) 
&quot;Be careful with these balls they are very delicate!” &quot;We can tie it up tight and away you go!&quot; 
Only in America can we be free to say such things without getting our tongue cut out.
I really wish that there were less emphasis on religion in this world. Religion is a private, self-serving spiritual manifestation based on &quot;it&quot; (God) Where does that play a part in blowing other people up and conducting genocide? 
Unfortunately, this is the religious holiday season. So who came up with “Happy Holidays” as a replacement for Merry Christmas anyway? Who was the authority that made this taboo? Why not show our diversity openly in a crowd, wouldn&#039;t it be nice to hear.... &quot;Hey, Happy Hanukah, yea, Merry Christmas too you, and over there, &quot;Mr. How&#039;s your Jihad going?&quot;
I would rather be an infidel and skip the complications, but that would be bending down to ending diversity. And my religion is better than yours anyway. LOL</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;While you ponder why the Department of Homeland Security is gathering recommendations about how to combat radical Islam from American Muslims...&lt;/i&gt;

Oh, try this: one of the very few things that the Bush administration got right after 9/11 was to realize that not all Muslims are radical fundamentalist terrorists, and the best way to counteract the appeal of Islamic fundamentalists was to treat normal Muslims, especially American Muslims, like human beings (the Bush clan&#039;s coziness with the House of Saud probably helped).  Of course, then they invaded Iraq, Abu Ghraib happened, and whatever good will we had managed to accumulate was squandered.  But soon we will have an Islamofascistcommieterroristfistbumper President, (&lt;a href=&quot;http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/10/how-could-stanl.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Malcolm X&#039;s love child&lt;/a&gt; no less) so we can try again

The alternative to this approach would be to declare war on the world&#039;s billion Muslims and the intern the US&#039;s 5 million or so Muslims.  That sounds real practical.</description>
