I agree with the OP.
The mention of the Islamic state attacking the western Zionists has been suspiciously absent from the news.
In Iraq and Afghanistan, I remember cease-fires on their religious holy days.
People say we're not a "Christian nation", and yes I agree.
Someone needs to tell that to the radical Islamists. They're the ones bent on destroying the infidels.

Yes but not the way you are thinking, it's pervasive. For example here we have a cleric addressing a bunch of guys in business suits suggesting the annihilation of the non muslim world:

Strange indeed. I'm a Christian and I've never heard such BS from the church I attend, nor would I agree with it. How come is it that whenever people bring up issues with the Muslim faith, anyone that goes out of their way to defend the Muslims always turns around and trys to compare their extremism to that of a very few fringe so called Christians? How can MILLIONS of Muslim extremists be compared to maybe thousands of Christian extremists anyway?

The question here involves the American Muslim community. Guys like that don't speak for them.

------edit------

Just to add the type of speech you see in the first video is not going to be publicly seen here because it won't be tolerated.

The OP has been sadly brainwashed by a far right media convincing her of a caricature.

1. NObody supports terrorists or believes they can be negotiated with. We voted for Obama because it was clear he would be very tough in pursuing terrorists, unlike his predecessor who lost focus.

2. Obama's track record speaks for itself - from ordering the sharpshooting of Somalian pirates to ramping up the War in Afghanistan to increasing military pressure on terrorists around the world, there is absolutely no evidence to support that ignorant cartoon.

Seriously - educate yourself before posting completely inaccurate and childish slanders. We patriots are standing behind a president actively hunting down terrorists. Join us for once.

What are you talking about? Where are you getting these lies?!?!?

Obama was briefed on the plane incident immediately after it happened. He was issuing statements and directives through the chain of command almost immediately and had already ordered an entire assessment of the system by the time he gave his speech (not to mention Gibbs was speaking already). Obama was even briefed on the sick guy in the bathroom on the same flight 2 days later (LONG after he'd been dealing with the first incident).

Seriously - your ignorance on this subject is perplexing. Stop spreading lies. Stick to facts.

I honestly want to know who told you he wasn't briefed for 72 hours. We need to identify these lies and out them when they are regurgitated.
