Would you say that most American Muslims are horrified by the thought that Iran might possess nuclear weapons, or not?
No clear answer from Hooper.
Do American Muslims believe that this is a war against Islam ?
A slippery answer from Hooper, suggesting that he himself believes that America is waging a war against Islam.
Are Muslims more likely to commit acts of terror than members of other faiths?
A flat no from Hooper, in the face of .
Click on that link. 6,276 Islamic terrorist attacks since 9/11. And then, just try to compile a similar list of violent acts committed recently by members of any other faith, in the name of that faith and justified by its core texts, and see how far you get.
I m glad Carlson asked the question, and wish there had been time for an extended discussion of this, and the introduction of some distinctions. Human nature is everywhere the same, but is Islamic teaching inspiring violence today? That is plain to all but those who do not wish to see.
Instead of bland denials from Hooper, it would be refreshing to see him offer some constructive way to counter this phenomenon. But apparently that must be left up to the Islamophobes.
U.
S. tries to cut off terrorists cash flow The Middle East is the center of graft and corruption in the universe. Financial Jihad Update from Rowan Scarborough in the , with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
The U.
S. military is not only trying to stop terrorists and arms from leaking into Iraq from Syria and Iran but also another just as dangerous commodity cash.It s the lifeblood of the enemy whether they be al Qaeda terrorists, death squads or Sunnis trying to evict American forces and bring back dictator Saddam Hussein and U.
S. raiders have seized millions of dollars in cash during the conflict.
Military officials point to Syria and its secretive banking system as the main source of Sunni walking-around money, while Iran s Revolutionary Guard funnels money to Shi ite militias, such as cleric Muqtada al-Sadr s Mahdi Army.
The enemy s money began flowing into Iraq with the start of the insurgency in the summer of 2003, and the shipments are still coming in.
There are billions coming in, said Daniel Gallington, a former aide to Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
The Middle East is the center of graft and corruption in the universe. It really always has been. The fight in Iraq is about who controls what area is really all about who controls the money.
