Boortz: Islam is a "deadly virus" and "we're going to wait far too long to develop a vaccine to find a way to fight this"
On the October 16 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Neal Boortz declared: "Islam is a virus. It is a deadly virus that is spreading throughout Europe and the Western world," adding that "we're going to wait far too long to develop a vaccine to find a way to fight this." Later in the broadcast, Boortz, who stated that he "would be willing to put money that Spain will be operating under Islamic law within 10 years," predicted "that Europe is doomed, and America's going to have a tough time surviving in anything close to its present form after America falls to Islam -- to the Muslim creeping virus." Boortz also characterized Islam as "not a very pleasant religion" and "a creeping mold infestation." He also said of Muslims: "[T]hese people are violent."
As Media Matters for America documented, on the July 19 edition of his radio program, Boortz called the Prophet Muhammad "a phony rag-picker" and stated that Islam is "a religion of vicious, violent, bloodthirsty cretins."
From the October 16 broadcast of Cox Radio Syndication's The Neal Boortz Show:
BOORTZ: Day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year, these stories of this violence keep coming in. A doctor kills his wife there; somebody kills their daughter over here. The stories of this violence come in. You know what? Sooner or later, you really start to get the idea that this is not a very pleasant religion. Sooner or later, you really start to get the idea that these people are violent. And does the Quran in fact say -- does the Quran say that if you leave Islam, you must be killed? Does it say that?
[...]
BOORTZ: I -- I would -- I would be willing to put money that Spain will be operating under Islamic law within 10 years.
[...]
BOORTZ: This is a virus. Islam is a virus. It is a deadly virus that is spreading throughout Europe and the Western world, and it is going to completely and totally change the way we live our lives in this country. And we're going to wait -- we're going to wait far too long to develop a vaccine to find a way to fight this. We have so many things working against us. First of all, we have a Democratic Party right now that for the last six years has been focused on one thing and only one thing: demonizing George Bush.
[...]
BOORTZ: I truly consider Islam, on a worldwide basis, to be a creeping mold infestation that if we are not alert, we will get to the point -- we will get to the point that it is just overpowering and overtaking, and we're going to have to take unbelievably drastic measures to deal with it just to save the very structure of our society.
[...]
BOORTZ: I think that Europe is doomed, and America's going to have a tough time surviving in anything close to its present form after America falls to Islam -- to the Muslim creeping virus.

He is suffering from a brain-eating variety.
It's simply amazing that he (and others) can't distinguish between peaceful Muslims and radical extremists. What would he say if Muslims generalized their opinions about Christians using abortion bombers as a point of reference?
Disgusting.
When was the last time a abortion clinic was bombed?
The last time an abortion clinic was bombed was 2001. When was the last time Islamic extremists attacked America?
The Muslims world wide need to take a chill pill. Getting pist over Muhamad (sp?), Honor Suicides, Getting mad aver anything that they feel just about, which is most EVERYTHING.
While I have Muslim freinds, and repect people for who they are. I have ZERO respect for the Muslim Religion. Most of the People who came over here came to escape it. It is a brutal, intollerent religion. Barberic indeed.
I don't respect their religion either.
While I will agree that extremists of any kind (be they muslim, christian, jewish, etc) should be greeted with zero-tolerance... Boortz proclamation is irresponsible.
Similarly, I'm guessing your study set of the Muslim faith carries with it a very low 'n'... Should the same intollerance be extended to prostelitizing extremist Christians? The same faction we, today, are supposed to believe are the 'good guys'? Observing from your posts... you tend toward the more inciteful (versus insightful). Expand your horizons my boy (i.e. grow up).
sure I will grow up.
Whew... I feel better about that!
On Sept. 11, 2006, the fifth anniversary of the terror attacks that devastated our nation, a man crashed his car into a building in Davenport, Iowa, hoping to blow it up and kill himself in the fire.
No national newspaper, magazine or network newscast reported this attempted suicide bombing, though an AP wire story was available. Cable news (save for MSNBC's Keith Olbermann) was silent about this latest act of terrorism in America.
<A TARGET="_top" HREF="http://ad.doubleclick.net/click%3Bh=v8/3483/3/0/%2a/b%3B45835968%3B0-0%3B0%3B12927822%3B4307-300/250%3B18359052/18376947/1%3B%3B%7Esscs%3D%3f[link to www.newsday.com] SRC="http://m1.2mdn.net/1225116/kingQualcube.jpg" BORDER=0></A> Had the criminal, David McMenemy, been Arab or Muslim, this would have been headline news for weeks. But since his target was the Edgerton Women's Health Center, rather than, say, a bank or a police station, media have not called this terrorism - even after three decades of extreme violence by anti-abortion fanatics, mostly fundamentalist Christians who believe they're fighting a holy war.
Since 1977, casualties from this war include seven murders, 17 attempted murders, three kidnappings, 152 assaults, 305 completed or attempted bombings and arsons, 375 invasions, 482 stalking incidents, 380 death threats, 618 bomb threats, 100 acid attacks, and 1,254 acts of vandalism, according to the National Abortion Federation.

To: Evillib Boortz, aside from gratuitous racism and ethnocentrism, is engaging in the fallacy of the sweeping generalization. This fallacy goes something like this: If Tom Tancredo, a conservative Republican, thinks it is a good idea to nuke Mecca under some circumstances, then (according to this fallacy) all conservatives/Republicans must think it is a salutary idea to nuke Mecca. This is obviously a ridiculous notion, when stated in such bald terms. Accusations of violence against that subset of violent Muslims are usually an attempt to deflect violence away from the actions of violent “Judeo-Christians”. We need to consider the following question: Who has murdered more innocent civilians, George Bush or Osama bin Ladin? Bin Ladin – 7,000 or so murdered; Bush 100,000 to 500,000 murdered. It’s not even close. I think all murderers of innocent civilians belong in prison. Therefore, Osama and George belong in the same prison cell; Bush’s sentence should be about 70 times longer.
And that includes Fundamentalist Christians. Fundamentalist Religion discourages critical thought, and that is dangerous. People who do not engage in critical thinking are more easily controlled. While fundamentalist Muslims may pose a more serious physical threat, fundamentalist Christians pose an even greater political threat. They will vote for whomever their preachers tell them to, and their preachers are easily swayed by the cynical manipulation of the corrupt Republicans.
In the long run, I fear the Christofascists more than the Islamofascists. The Islamofascists cannot destroy our Republic; the Christofascists can, and will, if we let them.
And I wish I could take Boortz up on his offer to put money on the chance that Spain will be under Muslim law in 10 years. I could clean up, and bankrupt that windbag at the same time (if he isn't already a broke nobody in 10 years, which seems likely).
I wholeheartedly agree with you Nerzog. I'll go one step further and comment that religious fundamentalists use fear just as much as any oppressive political regime..
This rhetoric is typical of what you hear from the far-right. Now, I consider myself a conservative, and I'm a registered Republican. In recent years, what I've come to see is that it's the right, not the left, that engages in the most over-the-top, hysterical rhetoric. This guys almost in the same camp as Savage.
Sounds like he's describing AM talk radio in the US.
And as far as the Democratic Party demonizing GWB, he does a pretty good job of demonizing anyone who disagrees with his plans or lack of plans. After all isn't he the one who keeps saying we're with him or against him? Doesn't leave us any other option except to demonize him.
The only way to stop this deadly virus is to stop listening to his hideous radio show and to not pay any attention to anything that comes out the big mouth on his hideous face.
THANK YOU. njguy93@yahoo.com
Neal seems to conveniently forget about the Republicans spending eight years demonizing Bill Clinton. By the way, Neal, trying to mount some sort of opposition as well as bring some much needed sunlight in the form of government and congressional oversight to the most corrupt and secretive White House in modern times is not demonizing.
THANK YOU. njguy93@yahoo.com
When Neil was with all his pundit buddies in the White House getting his marching orders from the President the other day was this the message he got. Racism is the ticket??
Are the Republicans endorsing a "Holy War Strategy" to the region, and the "War on Terror?"
Duh!!!
Happy Thoughts;

And his sermon is one of hatred and fear-mongering. It's typical of many right wingers. They instill fear into the populace. After all, since World War II haven't we always had a need for fear and enemies to justify our defense budget?
Instill ing fear is certainly easier than altrenatives like engaging other people in intelligent discussion or moving outside of one's box.

...and these extremists should be dealt with severely. There are estimated to ~1 billion muslims worldwide (less than 1/5 are arab).
your point on the small precent being Arab is?
Do me a favor since you brought up Christians. Can you provied me with similar links regarding todays Christians?
BTW, I do not pratice any religion. I jsut don't care to waist my Sundays on it.
For one thing you are condeming 1 billion people for the actions of only a few. That is not fair. I am an atheist but I try my best to respect people of faith (when they are not trying to shove the Bible down my throat!). Would it be fair for me to condemn all Christians for the hideous actions of Tim McVeigh? Would it be fair for me to condemn ALL christians for discrimination of Homosexuals? Lastly would it be fair for me to blame ALL germans for electing Hitler? Honestly I dont understand your angle. I hope you aint like Coulter in the fact that some believe all Muslims should be converted to Christianity. Anyway thx for the post...
like a few million? or, 10s of millions? What is a few to you sir?
I did not answer you question about Muslims and Christianity...
Simple,
No.
I realize and understand that Radical Islam is VERY dangerous to not only those who live in "Muslim Countries" but also for the rest of the world. However to believe that other religions can not possible do the same is ignorant. All religions have thier extremists, those who take their holy book literally and will do anything "in the name of God." What we need to do is show the majority of people(which are not extremists) that these fundamentalists are wrong. We need to wake up the normal people and make them realize that these Extremists do not TRULY represent Islam and its teachings.
However 1 BILLION people in the world consider themselves to be Muslim. 1 to 10 million is only about about 1 percent of the total number of people are extremists. So yeah in perspective I DO believe the number of Muslim Extremists is small.
Do we have any idea how many Muslims are extreemest? Are there figures out there we can compare? I am going to guess the answer is no.
Tim was a Secular. Get your facts right. Damn liars trying to make a BS point.
Was raised Catholic and asked for the last rites at his death and told Time corespondent Patric Cole that he believed in a God. Now HOW religious he was or how heretical or orthodox a Catholic might be open to interpretation, especially since he hadat times said things pointing to agnostic uncertainties. However it is not a clear cut case that he was secular so its YOUR facts that need to be gotten straight. I know its so convienient for you to define anyone who does bad things as NOT Christian no matter what they believe and anyone who does bad things as ISLAMIC if THAT is more convienient but the convienience for your argument is not relevant to the facts. It is a fair statement to say McViegh was Catholic.
Could I have a link to the info you found about Tim McVeigh? Honestly I do not believe he was a secular...
IF your point had been that Muslim extremism is a problem I would agree. Since your point seems to be that Islam is the problem I dont. Here is the difference. Right now Christians and Christian countries have the power. Those in power have no need for terrorism. In the thirties and forties the worst terrroist groups in the world were Jewish they did many acts of terrorism including the murder of Swedish UN diplomate Folke Burnadotte and the bombing of the Kind David Hotel.

and many more see link
This had to do with them trying to get a Jewish state which happened, the terrorism decreased. At the time was it blamed on Judaism?
In the 70's the worst terrorist groups were secular left and rightwing European groups, like the Red Brigade. Was that blamed on secularism?
Was the IRA terrorism blamed on Catholosism?
All the Muslims that went crazy over the cartoons, the Maohhamid talks, ect, I consider extreem. What so you consider extreem?
I have also seen a statistic that says less than one Muslim in 42,000 has ever participated in ANY riots. So blaming a whole religion for the actions of less than one in 40,000 just doesnt seem reasonable to me. Yes there are more Muslim extremists right NOW, however is that because of the religion or because of the social pressures inherent in those without power and the dynamic of power distribution. I cant be sure and neither can you.
What I KNOW is I have a Muslim friend who is among the most God loving, gentle and generous people I know. Islam hasnt twisted HIM. I also know that Rumi a Sufi mystic poet of the 13th century has written some of the most inspiring poetry about the infinite I have ever read. I am arguing against disparaging the entire religion because of the actions of a small minority FROM that religion. Do I think Islamic Fundamentalism is a threat? Absolutly. I also dont think that threat will most effectively be addressed by turning the entire population of Islamic people into enemies by simply defining them that way.
mean to sound like I condem all Muslims. I truley do not. I know more than one, I know several. Only 1 out of the several is a real as@hole that keeps his woman locked up and children sheltered. But the numbers can not be ignored. I would feel no differently if it where any other religion right now. I did not live in the 40-50's or earlier, so I am not directly affected by that news of yesteryear. I live for today and tomorrow. However, I do appreciate your history lesson. Someting I did not get enough of in what little school I attended.
Condemn all Muslims but you DID say you had no respect for the Muslim religion. I get those are not the same thing but it is reasonable for me to be confused on that issue. As for the history lesson. I understand what you mean that todays issues are more relevant than yesterdays, ok. My point wasnt that Jewish extremists are todays problems but that when they WERE the problem it wasnt blamed on THEIR religion and today we blame terrorism on Islam. Isnt that because of ethnocentrism? Isnt that because Judaism is more closely associated with Christianity? Isnt that a sort of ethnocentrism? Your arguments here have been reasonable, I am not dismissing them. No question the violent extremism in todays Islam is a threat. The only differences I see on the left and right are tactics we are espousing
Solon
We CANNOT look over the fact that SOME muslims are dangerous to our society. I feel being politically correct about EVERYTHING is just stupid.
Your comments are irrelevant to any meaningful discussion.
Peet?
Solon offered up many examples that you required...and, yet, not surprisingly... you STILL disagree. Which, leads me to conclude that your comment about 'not following any religion' is a lie. You have a Christian bias. Which is fine. But, your attack on other religions for the misdeeds of a minority are unfounded and, therefore, irrelevant.
I completely credit Solon for the links.
I do not pratice and religion. PERIOD!
Good work. And, to practice no religion is fine... to practice religion is fine. To be a crazy extremist is not fine. Of course, I agree with your sentiment about the insanity of extremist muslims. At this point in history, they ARE the bad guys. But, it's all relative. I just believe that prudence and level-headed action should always the first options. That does not mean being a pussy about it... it's that whole speak softly and carry a big stick' biz. I think Roosevelt was right on that one. These days, however, our current admin appear to babble incoherently and wave their guns in the air like imbecils. Is that helping? I don't think so.
So why would think I feel differently?
...by the tone of your posts, I jumped to conclusions. Sounded like you made some blanket statements. But, tha's cool.
if you were alive during, say, the Spanish Inquisition, or during the invasion and forced conversion of North and South America by the European powers using Christianity as a justification and a bludgeon, or during the Salem Witch Trials, would you have had "no respect" for the religion of Christianity based on the example set by the most extreme and radical of believers?
Or can we only judge religions based on the examples of a selection of believers at this point in history? And if so, doesn't that make it illegitimate to use anything written/said in the past about Islam?
Or is your extremely narrow view of a billion people's faith valid simply because it's yours?
I find most religions to be BS. Christianity, Catholicism, & Islamism to name a few.
So what's your point? That we should round 'em up and exterminate them?
The Muslim religion needs a chill pill....... Plain and Simple. You have to admit, the numbers are overwhelming.
What do you think would grab the most harmful negative attention.
A sticker on my truck condeming God...
or
Mohhamed?
...on where you're driving your truck (DA!)
What do you think would grab the most harmful negative attention.
A sticker on my truck condeming God...
or
Mohhamed?
I think you would get more harmful negative attention for the sticker condemning God. If you put a "Mohammed Sucks" sticker on your pickup you'd probably get a lot of waves, thumbs-up, and friendly horn honks. If you put a "God Sucks" sticker on your truck you'd probably get your truck keyed and maybe your butt kicked.
except alot of people would give me thumbs up on the Mohhamed sticker. Many hippies drive around these parts with anti-god stickers on. They catch little flack We are a nation with the freedom to express ourselves, something muslims know little about. There religion does not allow it.
I feel if I condemed mohhamed I would get beat up, stabbed, or killed, by Muslims that follow the religion. The proof is already out there.
...you acuse me of coming to ridiculous conclusions! I agree with Rusty... You drive a truck that says 'God sucks' or anything bad about Jesus... and you'd have a bevy of rednecks smacking the crap out of you in a hearbeat.
Short of trying it proof would be impossible by definition in your example. I personally have never SEEN a bumper sticker that was anti God. I have seen anti Islam bumper stickers and the drivers of those cars were alive.
I understand your points, the both of you. I live in probably the most deverse state in the country. That is why I have seen it all. Damn, I have stickers that condem almost everyone/everything. MOSTLY BUSH!
My sticker, "Gotta lick Dick and Bush" almost got me ran off the road.
Just for kicks, could you quote one of the many anti-God bumper stickers sported by the hippies out there in Cali? Like Solon, I've never seen an anti-God bumper sticker.
...fake proof. The only thing close -- and that's a stretch -- would be the fish with legs to signify that the person believes in evolution... but, that's not really an insult is it?
Look guys, I live right next to San Francisco and Berkely.
[link to www.bumperart.com]
I have seen it all.
...Well, I live in LA and rarely see such stuff. I guess that's because people don't want to taint their SUVs or Mercedes with such stuff. Now, if those things came in magnet form... that may be different. I see your point.
Some of those are pretty funny. ("Mosquitoes are proof God does not exist.")
Where the hell do you live, Evil?
I haven't seen any real hippies since Jerry died in '95.
You're not Eric Cartman are you? He's the only other person I've heard complain about hippies since the seventies.
So is my wife. We live in Flagstaff Az, and its a community with lots of aging hippies, which I guess are pretty much the only kind
I was just breaking Evil's stones a bit. I'm widowed and remarried and my new wife calls me an ex- hippie all of the time. But the only way to tell these days is by my bumper stickers. Although I don't really have any anti-God ones. I wouldn't call my Darwin Fish anti-God.
...I love Flag.
I love Arizona. Been visiting there for over 32 years. My fathers side of the family lives there. Phoenix and Scottsdale.
I was one of those deadheads that followed many show. I loved to sell food in the parking lot. I really Miss Jerry
Ok, there are no Hippies of the 60's really left. Just a bunch of wanabes/yuppies runing around.
I live by Berkely
I remembered that you said you lived near SF and figured you'd like the reference to Jerry. Those wannabes are everywhere. I remember in the early nineties seeing parents dropping off their "hippie" kids in a Bently so that the kids could run into the ticketmaster outlet to buy tickets for an upcoming GD show. What a long, strange trip, indeed!
.... I believe is not to over-generalize. Boortz and EvilLib are guilty. EL says 'most religions are BS' ... therefore, he thinks all muslims should go. Up until that last post of his... he's said nothing about other religions. Boortz' tack is obviously stilted to appeal to frightened Christians.
This type of argument only breeds greater contempt and more violence, if you ask me. Instead of concentrating on a few (yes, a few may mean a couple 100,000) bad apples... EL wants to abolish all apples because he deems them unnecessary. That is, once again -- a righty fav -- to boil issues down to the most base of human emotions (fear, hatred) and rile up the masses. EL ... you're either a fool or a petty drone (or both). Either way, you're screwed.
Where did I say Muslims have to go. You are a pathetic liar Peete, or have crappy readong comprehension.
Up until that last post of his... he's said nothing about other religions. The Topic above is about Islam.
(yes, a few may mean a couple 100,000) You are so damn ignorant.
EL wants to abolish all apples because he deems them unnecessary Putting words in my mouth, a favorite left tactic....

You are taking my posts to far. I am pointing out the radicals are more than just a few. But my view of a radical seems to be much different from yours. I AM NOT CONDEMING ALL MUSLIMS.
I didn't think so ;-)
coolio...
"While I have Muslim freinds, and repect people for who they are. I have ZERO respect for the Muslim Religion. Most of the People who came over here came to escape it. It is a brutal, intollerent religion. Barberic indeed." (from the first page)
How do expect those of us who have a more balanced and even-handed view of the world NOT to see you as condemning the entire religion? You call it brutal and intolerant. There are a large number of Muslims who are so. There are also a large number of Christians who are so. Solon's comprehensive post though moves you not because you have decided that the perceptions you have and the articles you cite mean "the numbers are overwhelming," a ridiculous conclusion. If the numbers were actually overwhelming why aren't we actually being attacked all the time? Do you seriously believe that if there were actually that many Muslims dedicated to such extreme violence and death to America we have somehow not been attacked. You're the one who has repeatedly claimed that all those illegal immigrants are flooding over our borders in an attempt to fulfill the idea of "reconquista." If our borders are so pathetic and it is so easy for such diabolical immigrants to get across them and engage in such a massive conspiracy, why is it that the masses of crazy Muslims haven't been using that path to come here and kill us all? Really, I want to know - how do you reconcile these ideas? Do they just want to be violent everywhere else and not here? Do you really believe Bush & co. have done that much to "protect" us?
In addition, as a fellow resident of the SF area, I have to point out that: a)we live in a bit of a bubble, politically b) In more places than not in this country, driving around with a distinctly anti-Christian bumper sticker would lead to much more violence than an anti-Muslim sticker. If you don't see that, your conception of who lives in our country is really out of whack. c) Early on, we had a general say that he believe the war on terror was essentially a war against Satan, with the obvious implication that Islam is evil. If he had said that about Christianity, do you really imagine he would have stayed in power?
Personally, I think religion does serve as "the opiate of the masses." That said, most people are pretty decent, regardless of religion. It is the extreme members who either are in or seek such levels of power and the display of that desire or power who tend to be most noticed by society.
Finally, please work on your spelling and grammar. It drives me crazy.
... until this: "Finally, please work on your spelling and grammar. It drives me crazy."
I don't want to nitpick, but not everyone has had the benefit of education. In fact, EL mentioned upthread that he hasn't had much education (possibly he was kidding, so perhaps I'm being over-sensitive). I'm not trying to suggest that you're picking on him, but having good grammar and spelling shouldn't be a prerequisite for posting. That said, your complaint reminded me of Truman Capote in Neil Simon's "Murder by Death."
Apologies to you and EL for the "spelling and grammar" comment. It was unnecessary and tangential. Reading many badly-written and badly-spelled papers and posts each day can wear my nerves. Regardless, it was an inappropriate comment. Sincerest apologies to all.
I as not kidding about my education. I never cared for school, just rock and roll. Damn I miss those times, I was completely ignorant to politics.
Now how about actually responding to my post above. I want to know what your answer is.
This is not just about America. It is about the Girls whos father kill them in the name of saving their honor. The kids dying in Iraq because of stupid differences. The riots over ones opinion or factual wrttings. These things bother me. Violence is greater everywhere, yes. A quick search will show you. Hell, I provded many links most of which are current. I am not conceraned for America only, but all people eaffected by Islamism.
The link on illegals I provided was just that, a link. Not my feelings.
Let me break it down again:
a) you write "I have ZERO respect for the Muslim Religion. Most of the People who came over here came to escape it. It is a brutal, intollerent religion. Barberic indeed."
b) in your subsequent posts you repeatdely assert the the "overwhelming" numbers show us that Islamand its practitioners are violent
c) you have, on other posts about immigration, repeatedly argued that the borders are open and that Mexican immigrants re trying to "reconquest" the southwwest states.
d) given the "violent" nature of Muslims combined with their "obvious" hatred of America and the "open" borders, why haven't there been more attacks?
You don't answer that, either because you don't have an answer and chose to defelct with your "I care about the whole world" line or, well, I don't know. How hard is it for you to get the logical inconsistencies in your sweeping generalizations about both immigration and Islamic violence?
I have not answered those questions.
donot be a moron. Show me the link where I said they where trying to take back the west. Show me where "I" said it.

You have a mental disorder.

How many links do I need to provide that relate to this. You must not venture beyond this site.
At least he has the guts to tell the truth, you little whiney babies can't even see the truth when it's bitting you in the ass.
Some day you oh so liberal feel good weirdos will wake up under islamic law and you won't be able to whine anymore because it will be illegal. The women won't be able to vote. You won't be able to drink. You won't be able to push a secular agenda, you will get to pray 5 times daily and thank allah that you live in an enlightened Islamic country.
As for Mohammad, he's caused more death this century then any other religious figure.
All of you should be out yelling at the facists that riot when someone does some satirical cartoons rather then Boortz for stating the obvious.
Would you mind telling us what planet you are living on? You are obviously not on earth or American soil, since your comment was so ludicrous.
At least he has the guts to tell the truth, you little whiney babies can't even see the truth when it's bitting you in the ass.
Of course not. I don't have eyes on my ass.
Tell me exactly how we are going to wake up under Islamic Law. Do you think the scary Muslims are going to build rafts, float across the Atlantic and shoot us in our beds magically invading and conquering our country? See just because you are so pathetically stupid that fantasies like this scare you doesnt mean that those of us with an actual functioning cerebral cortex find it a frightening concept. Now run along, hire a six year old to explain the big words in this post to you ( I know it means leaving the comfort of your mothers basement but sacrifices must be made) and either let a little reality into your world of boogeymen or start taking your medication.
I do want to thank you however (appologies to Stephen King) I sometimes think I have plumbed the well of human stupidity, it is nice to be reminded that it is truly a bottomless well.
Mr. Boortz is absolutely correct. Muslims are murdering thousands of people all over the world, every day.
peet says, "While I will agree that extremists of any kind (be they muslim, christian, jewish, etc) should be greeted with zero-tolerance..."
What extremist christians or jews??? What are you talking about??? do you seem them murdering people by the thousands all over the world? what is the comparison?
Oh, they prostelitize/talk. You are equating talking with murdering. Sure they're equal, righghght.
and nerzon say, "I fear the Christofascists more than the Islamofascists. The Islamofascists cannot destroy our Republic; the Christofascists can..."
Try reading the news and see how many countries have been taken over by Islam. you think it can't happen here?
Take a trip to an Islamic country. When you come back maybe you'll appreciate America.
Muslims are murdering THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE every day?
Can you perhaps back thats statement UP? I wont hold my breath.
Terrible person.
Qeskeettai 4407; Your're dead wrong, Bush has killed more people this century! The way it's going, by the time Lil"w" s out of office ,he'll pass Pol Pot on the "Slaughter List"! Where did Boortz come up with that Miami Vice coat?
Did bush tell these muslims to bomb eachother? I think not.....
For all you believers, that feel I am a god loving christian, or take sides of christians over muslims, catholics, ect, go to hell in a bucket...... Man I feel better now!
So, how many other religions these days do you read stories like this about? Some of the stories date as far back as 2003

To everyone who thinks that Islam is alltogether a bad religion and is a virus creeping over the world: First of all, the word Islam is derived from the word salam, meaning: peace be to you. You should understand that peace is a main factor in Islam. Secondly, even if there are people (1 in about 1 billion) who think that violence is the answer, you shouldn't judge the whole religion based on that individual. Please reply back! I want to know your concerns and issues and maybe I can help you understand my religion a bit more thoroughly. - A Muslim teenager
The term Islamism is more appropriate. I understand the Religion is about peace, or so I have been told. It is just very difficult to overlook all the suicide bombings of innocent people, honor suicides of daughters, and the riots over ones opinion or factual readings about Islam/ism. It looks to me to be more than 1 in a billion. The numbers appear to be astounding. Search the web. It is crazy. I feel the Muslims that have come to America are getting away from Islamism. Maybe I am wrong. But to supress womans rights, killing your own children, bombings, bombings, bombings. It just does not look good.
"We're going to wait far too long to develop a vaccine to find a way to fight this."
A vaccine? Like what? A Second Holocaust, with innocent, civilian Muslims being sent to the gas chambers for mass execution? A revival of Slobodan Milosevic so he can order the execution of innocent men and children, Srebenica-style?
Think before you speak. Demanding a Second Holocaust is VERY serious. In fact, you could be arrested for calling for a Second Holocaust in some countries.
I think it was Thursday when Boortz plugged a Xmas stocking fundraiser for Marines in the war zone. He ended with appealing to listeners not to forget "our Marines in Viet Nam." ;-D
