Too bad our politicians don't have enough backbone to do this. Not just with Muslims but anyone else that wants to come to this country and start changing things.

You're on the record of using a picture from 1983 and claiming they were Taliban despite a woman being clearly pictured and despite the "Taliban" not even existing for another 10 or so years. Then you went ahead and said something about having insider information in the Reagan administration so I asked you to explain the girl in the photo, something easily done for someone with your background. You couldn't and left the thread.

Any American politician that would dare say what this Australian one did, would be branded as a racist and spreading islamophobia. The days of American "straigh-talk" have long been over in DC.

Muslims in part of Detroit/Dearborn do exactly that. There was some controversy when they chased away a parking meter guy for giving them tickets on Saturday for parking on lawns.

There are plenty of American politicians that call Islam a cult, etc. None of them became president but plenty of senators etc

Muslims are not really protected here in the USA. It's easier to speak against Muslims than it is to speak against gays, Blacks, latinos, Jews, etc. Part of the reason is they're about 1-2% of the US population. It doesn't take much guts to say what these politicians say.

I have heard a few American politicians say such things, but then CNN or MSNBC is there calling him/her a Right-Wing, KKK-lovin', Christian bigot, etc. . . I don't think highly of any religion, but islamists are truly mindless apes and the worst of the whole bunch of religious wackos.
