...I would add the welcome news of British Prime Minister David Cameron's speech on the failure of multiculturalism, joining Germany's Angela Merkel in that conclusion. I would disagree to the extent that I believe the core of Islam is NOT moderate and needs fundamental reform, but this is an excellent point:
But this raises the question: if it's the lack of democracy that is the problem, why are there so many extremists in free and open societies?Cameron notes, as I and others have, that many of these terrorists were quite well-off and educated. The Christmas bomber, the Times Square bombers, the DC bomber, and the Cubs bomber in Chicago. Oh, and the Gold Coast guy. Yet most of the press keeps pooh-poohing all of this, even when it's in their face. And even Bill Kristol downplays the connection between the Left and terrorists.

Multiculti victimhood's goose is cooked.

From the NRO article:
[The multi cult] "would have to be confronted both ideologically — insisting on support for human rights as a condition for entry into public debate — and organizationally — denying funds to bodies that preach hatred and separatism.
Can we start by denying nurturing government assistance to MuzBro organizations to ensure that they are able to sidestep existing regulations when building mosques whose clerics preach an ideology opposed to human rights?
The nation's Attorney General is personally protecting the building of mosques confronting the usual local restrictions, and the mayor of New York City offered the taxpayer-funded expertise and services of his office to the MusBros, saving them the trouble of writing their own proposals for the Ground Zero mosque. They sailed unhindered through the usual red tape, of course.
Wait for NPR Fresh Air take on this -"Why any Knight of Columbus could do exactly the same as Old Muzzy Mo! Why must they go around with swords - sexist patriarchists and breeders to boot."
AG Holder has Obama's blessing I'm sure.
It's the same moral and ideological confusion on allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to participate in elections in Egypt--we need to stipulate human rights.
Congress has the power of the purse on foreign aid, thankfully. I hope the GOP looks at whether the Muslim Brotherhood is getting tax dollars, along with their investigation of such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood. As for NY, well, that's a tough one.
Kind of like Illinois.
I know you all out there are doing what you can.
Hey Pat.
Yes, NPR is such a joke. I can just imagine it.
It's the sword, stupid, for sure.
That's why we've seen so many beheadings over the years in neighborhoods across America, with the Catholic church steeple prevalent.
Anne, Me Love!
Not to mention all the pumpkin slashing come Halloween! Them Knights is a caution!
