题目: Re: In Obama's speech tonight, he made it clear that our fight isn't against Islam. He's so clueless.
Artful Dodger:
Pehaps you should read or remember...
"As we do, we must also reaffirm that the United States is not - and never will be - at war with Islam. I've made clear, just as President Bush did shortly after 9/11, that our war is not against Islam. Bin Laden was not a Muslim leader; he was a mass murderer of Muslims. Indeed, al-Qaeda has slaughtered scores of Muslims in many countries, including our own. So his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity."
Perhaps it could be said that your bias is making you clueless.

The Col: Well I can't hear any riots or (seeing as I live near a military base) gunfire as the Muslims in our area rise up. One I personally know is more concerned about his gadgets....

The Col: True.... I would expect Hamas to condemn the killing, but they are an extreme group. Unfortunately as long as Israel keeps nicking Palestinian land they will get a voice.

(V):The proposition that Israel is " nicking Palestinian land" is opinion.Israel rightfully not trusting Palestinian terrorist representation is not.Requasting an honest broker in negotiations is reasonable.I suggest they get their house in order before coming to the table,
The Col: Aye, the Palestinians should. As to it being an opinion on the land nicking.. I'm basing my opinion on UN statements regarding the Gaza strip and West Bank. Even the Israeli government has admitted (through watching documentaries on the problem) that in some cases Israeli Jews are taking land that even they have a problem accepting the rationality of the rogue settlements.
