I didn't post the video, Brigitte Gabriel is a very forceful speaker and appeals to the right wing but offer nothing constructive. Her rants amount to shouting out your window "I'm madder than hell and not going to take it anymore", her speeches amount to little more than highlighting the problem. Yes there is a problem with radical fundamentalists, we knew that already.
To bad all your leftist friends cannot figure that out....
What I find odd in reviewing posts on this thread and others is that those who are liberals tend to sympathize with muslims. This seems odd in that the muslim faith is diametrically opposed to liberal thought. Can someone explain this?
Pretty simple.
These murders were vicious. They would be vicious whether they were committed by muslims taking umbrage at sacrilegious depictions of mohammed or whether they had been committed by christians taking umbrage at the equally sacrilegious depictions of the triune god.
So go after the individuals responsible. Not the vast majority of either muslims or christians who would never perpetrate anything like these acts.
But then I don't believe that government should be in the business of prosecuting thought crime.

Yes they were. But then again, they always are.
And over the years some truly moderate Islamic scholars have called on Imams to renounce their blasphemy laws. But they refused to do that.
Blasphemy is equivalent to treason which is punishable by death but after a trial.
The extremists are doing just that..taking islamic law to the extreme and skipping the trial.
Too bad your rightist friends cannot figure out the meaning of radical fundamentalist
No, we can....the left refuses to acknowledge it.....
The right understands that there is a difference between radical Muslims and other Muslims...
But until we can figure out who is who....(think about the Ft. Hood shooter) we are not allowed to PROFILE...that's when the left, such as you start screaming about profiling.....you cannot do that...you are racist....you are sexist and whatever the hell else you can figure out....

Which is why in other threads we hear the right calling for the nuking of ALL Muslims, eh?

OK, YOU think about the Ft Hood shooter, WHAT about him should have tipped us off?
I think people care more about how to prevent this kind of tragedy from happening?
What are the Counter-terrorism strategies?
Looks like these new generation of terrorists are pretty much all homegrown.
Some article did point that out..all were born in France so they are native French.
I guess France's version of 'anchor babies'.
If that is the trend then France does have a much bigger problem to solve.
