Close interactions with the umma have poisoned our culture and goaded the Muslim world to even higher levels of purple-faced rage.
Despite our bowing and scraping, and our military leadership slapping hijabs on our female soldiers, the Muslim hate meter is still pegged. I am tired of our government's spasmodic self-flagellation at every Islam-fueled temper tantrum, and the serial apologies are making me sick.
Our government has fallen all over itself paying obeisance to Islam over a koran burning, but has said not one damned word about an Afghan policeman killing two of our soldiers.
Mark Steyn Says it Best
I don’t like the wholesale reprinting of articles posted elsewhere, but Mark Steyn says it so much better than I can in his brilliant and succinct post at The Corner, Winning Hearts, Minds and Trigger Fingers…
here’s a headline from today’s New York Times:
Afghan Police Officer Turns Gun on American Soldiers, Killing 2
These are the Afghans who know us best — the ones selected, trained, and funded by us for a decade.
What did these soldiers die for? That their commander might offer even more abject prostrations of apology over “any disrespect to the Holy Qur’an”? Would it help if General Petraeus stuck a couple more apostrophes in the approved spelling and began his press releases with, “In the name of Allah the most merciful . . .”?
We have internalized our enemies’ psychoses — that we are the unclean ones.
