Me thinks thou dost protest too much Syed.

Calling Islamophobia and lies when the truth is presented is the worn out taqqiya tool of the Islamist.

You say one think, your belligerent attitude says another

To Anonymous and his ilk:
u seem very knowledgeable about the culture of fear-mongering, u quote someone who is extreme in his views to make ppl believe that his point of view is one of the 1.5 billion Moslims, any person with a sound mind will not buy into ur illogical biggoted propaganda. 1st of all he's not my ''brotherhood sheikh'', am a proud American and a humanist above all who questions stereotypes and tries to understand the mindset of others. Quaradawi is entitled to his opinions, didn't hear about freedom of speech?!! he does not represent 1.5 billions of the world Moslims nor does alqaida or any nutjob criminal who commits attrocities in the name or Islam, i even suspect vey much that ur quotes are downright fabricated lies that r part of the islamophobic propaganda to demonize anything related to Islam Arabs and Moslims, as one put it here, they were done with Moscow and now they turned their canons towards Mecca, it is the new Red Scare, like, Oh!!! Watch out they r coming to get us! this is total horse crap to justify the oppression, invasion and massacre of the local Arabs and Moslims and exploiut their resources, ppl nowadys have these deep-rooted idea that anybody who's Moslim or Arab who fights occupation and oppression with his life is a terrorist murderer, wow, what if we get invaded by the Iraqis or others, what would we do if we didn't have an army to defend us? i guess a lot of us would rsort to desperate measures to get our country back and chase out the enemy, and don't u tell me that am here justifying violence or in the side of so-called terrorists, off course i condemn terrorism and attrocities against any ppl but we have to educate ourselves about conflicts and about other ppl 's culture and religion before we can pass any judgement on them.
U talk about opression of women in some Moslim countries, just tell me, where in today's world u'd find non-oppressed women among others, in our country statistics about rape ( even in the military), domestic violence, date rape are just scary, not to forget salary discrimination and misogyny, just check out the statistics for women abuse in the US for 2006 u'll realize that women are not worshipped, so if our house is made of glass we should not throw rocks at others.

Oh, there you are, Setof. I was looking for you on Rabbi Kula's post, but you ran away like the towel head you are.

Serena left a post for you. You ought to read it before you scurry back under the hand. Mulimist Mohamedick.

Oh, and Mohamadick, Serena's right. You don't have a set of. You don't even have one. Crawl away now,
Go back to your Madrassah and diddle yourself.

@Anonymous pokertov.
Best defence is offence.As a member of AIPAC you have succeeded not only in milking USA's cows, but also in making most of US intellectuals become more allergic to words related to... er,..Islam such as Hussein, Qu'ran, mosque etc. Zionists have them curiously oriented their interests towards Mecca after Moscow. They could no more practise fishing anywhere other than in troubled waters? Americans have other fish to fry, I think.
Shalom " Mr Anonymous"

With the 2008 US presidential election campaign in full swing, Muslim voters and issues are having a greater impact than at any other point in US history.

If that is true, why is no candidate seeking the Muslim vote? The fact is, to keep their credibility and steadfastness to the US Constitution, they don't even want Muslim supporters. The candidates are running their campaigns oblivious to Muslim voters.

Besides CAIR claimed that the Muslims were influential in Bush getting elected. If THAT is true, are the Muslims happy with what they got?
Should we then blame the Muslims for the ill-fated invasion of Iraq?

To say that Muslims are having a big impact on this campaign is a delusion of grandeur, plain and simple.

Here Syd and Settof is a bit about your Brotherhood Sheikh:

Yusuf al-Qaradawi is an Egyptian Islamic scholar associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. He is known for his militant religious rulings and political commentary in support of acts of terrorism and repression of women. He is currently the host of Al Jazeera's most popular show, "Shariah and Life," and, largely because of this, has become a very influential force among Muslims worldwide. Al-Qaradawi also serves as chairman of the board of trustees at the Islamic American University, a subsidiary of the Muslim American Society.

Al-Qaradawi's fatwas, or religious edicts, have been numerous and far-reaching. Topics that have been influenced by al-Qaradawi's religious interpretation range from "justified" killings, to familial affairs and domestic conflict. Additionally, al-Qaradawi has made a number of public speaking appearances, both in the U.S. and abroad, where he has further expounded his often contentious doctrine.

In 1995, at a conference held by the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) in Toledo, Ohio, al-Qaradawi said, "Our brothers in Hamas, in Palestine, the Islamic resistance, the Islamic Jihad, after all the rest have given up and despaired, the movement of the Jihad brings us back to our faith."

At that same conference, he declared what he saw as the fate and goals of his faith:

What remains, then, is to conquer Rome. The second part of the omen. "The city of Hiraq [once emperor of Constantinople] will be conquered first", so what remains is to conquer Rome.' This means that Islam will come back to Europe for the third time, after it was expelled from it twice… Conquest through Da'wa [proselytizing], that is what we hope for. We will conquer Europe, we will conquer America! Not through sword but through Da'wa.

…

But the balance of power will change, and this is what is told in the Hadith of Ibn-Omar and the Hadith of Abu-Hurairah: "You shall continue to fight the Jews and they will fight you, until the Muslims will kill them. And the Jew will hide behind the stone and the tree, and the stone and the tree will say: ‘Oh servant of Allah, Oh Muslim, this is a Jew behind me. Come and kill him!' The resurrection will not come before this happens." This is a text from the good omens in which we believe."

In January 1998, the Associated Press quoted al-Qaradawi as writing, "There should be no dialogue with these people [Israelis] except with swords." And in April 2001, commenting on suicide bombings, he said, "They are not suicide operations…These are heroic martyrdom operations."

In the June 2002 Fatwa section of The American Muslim, a publication of the Muslim American Society, al-Qaradawi was asked "Prophet Muhammed said that nations will haunt against us. Can we say that this is happening right now?" He responded, "The emergence of the Islamic awakening has breathed in the Muslim nation a sense of confidence and hope in the future. Such movement is worthy of leading the Muslim nation to utter victory once there are leaders who are rightly guided by Almighty Allah and filled with wisdom."

In 2004, in response to a question regarding the permissibility of female suicide bombers, al-Qaradawi encouraged such acts, stating, "The martyr operations is [sic] the greatest of all sorts of Jihad in the Cause of Allah."

Al-Qaradawi issued a fatwa stating that Muslims killed fighting American forces in Iraq are martyrs. "Those killed fighting the American forces are martyrs given their good intentions since they consider these invading troops an enemy within their territories but without their will," Qaradawi also stated, "Although they are seen by some as being wrong, those defending against attempts to control Islamic countries have the intention of Jihad and bear a spirit of the defense of their homeland."

Criticizing religious rulings against suicide bombings, al-Qaradawi stated, "I am astonished that some sheikhs deliver fatwas that betray the mujahideen, instead of supporting them and urging them to sacrifice and martyrdom." Regarding one of these fatwas issued by the imam of Mecca's Grand Mosque, al-Qaradawi said, "It is unfortunate to hear that the grand imam has said it was not permissible to kill civilians in any country or state, even in Israel."

Dave,Gringo,Steve and company:
I swear you are the guys who love to call other people terrorists while being terrorists yourselves.

...Then, how come they roam freely in the US without being arrested? how come they meet frequently with the FBI to cooperate? why you are adamant about accsuing 1.5 billion Arabs and Moslims of being terrorists while only the very fringes of that number is actually commiting attrocities? why don't u accuse all Christian Irish ppl of being Christian terrorists because of the horrible bloodshedding terrorist bombings done by the terror Christian organization I.R.A. in Ireland? or all the Christian Spanish ppl because of all the terrorizing masacres perpetrated by the terrorist Christian organization E.T.A.? u want more examples? just sit down and read little about History? u r full of blind hatred of Islam, Moslims and Arabs that u don't even stop to question ur deeply anchored prejudice and biggotry, i don't understand how u all come here and accuse all 100's of millions of Arabs and Moslims of being terrorists just because a few scores committed criminal acts, no logic or whatsoever, just sheer ignorance and biggotry.

THE FOX AND THE SOUR GRAPES.PERIOD.

as you can see mr banchoff, there is an enormous reserve of hatred and fearful paranoia prevalent to counter-

Very nice. Criticize the rest of us for "Associating Islam with Terrorism" while having an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism trial on your panel.

Maybe the reason Americans associate Islam with Terrorism is that the Terrorists tend to associate themselves with Islam.

How many times have we read of a "youth" who yells "Allahu Ackbar!" before blowing himself up?

Mr. Awad, when you unequivocally condemn Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorists, then MAYBE you will have earned the right to speak on the subject. Until then, you have no credibility whatsoever.

Hey CAIR, even though Newsweek and Georgetown University have blinders on, we're watching you...

Oh, yes, let us have deepening understanding with subhuman, terrorist, murdering, misogynistic scumbags... Great.

"CAIR"? You mean the terrorist front group? So if we have conferences at Georgetown University which has taken millions of dollars from Saudi dirtballs-is going to help us to "have deeper understanding" by pandering to terrorist apologist scumbags?

Brilliant...Hey, here's an idea-how bout we find some terrorist scumbags and kill them before they kill us.

Gee whiz, " ...... Islam remains poorly understood and is a source of broad anxiety......" DUH? Well if you got guy's like Nihad Awad and John Esposito promoting Islamist propaganda no wonder the true Islam is poorly understood. Taquiiya at it's best.

They tell us "Islam" is unconnected to terrorism, yet they have a Muslim Brotherhood front group as part of the table?

Please. Pull the other one.

It’s more than a little ironic for the round table to chide “ignorant” Americans for “associating Islam with terrorism,” when they have an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism trial sitting on their panel (Nihad Awad, head of the radical Islamic front group CAIR).

What a joke - We're told not to associate Islam with terrorism and yet they have a known associate of terrorists on the board!

I agree, what a joke to have Brotherhood thug Awad there.

what is an an unindicted co-conspirator in a terrorism case doing in Georgetown?I am speaking of CAIR.
