See the difference now?

I don’t doubt for a second that Turkey is a great country and i understand from those a lot more in the know then me that they have been a legitamite ally in the GWOT.

I’m just concerned that the entire Muslim world is headed into the pooper and we’ll have to pull up the drawbridges and ride out their descent into barbarism.

I think it’s running about fifty-fifty right now and that right there is enough to scare me.

You are right I don’t know why they are reading the book and I suspect that not all of them are reading it because they are interested in WWII or the fine points of political speech. They have a growing problem with fundamentalists. I don’t know if it is that their numbers are increasing or if they are just more active in making their presence known. However, Turkey is by and large a neat country filled with some pretty nice people. My husband and I vacationed there in December 2004. The few people that we had the chance to talk with at lenght acknowledged a problem with religious sects in the southwest area and the papers there discussed the problem. They are fairly secular in their approach to government even though the population is overwhelmingly Muslim. I like Turkey but saying that doesn’t mean I am blind to their problems. They definitely have some. I just hope that anti American sentiment does not become the norm rather than the exception.

I would like to see this movie for myself.

I used the “This just in” ironically. It’s also less than a year old so I doubt much anything’s changed over there.

Also, when was the last time “Mein Kaumpf” was a bestseller in the civilized world? Are you really going to argue you think that has no bearing?

Read the goddamned quote! they think it was a tragedy that Hitler wasn’t able to finish his “final solution.” Are you insane? Are YOU sad Hitler wasn’t able to finish his final solution?

The point isn’t that you’ve read the book, but why you read the book. You read it to debate the fine points of political speech. Is that why they’re reading it over there?

I don’t know and neither do you!

Also,

In any event reading the book does not mean you are a card carrying NAZI, a sympathizer or merely antisemitic. Heck I’ve read the book and I gave a copy of it to my son for his birthday. Our interest in the book stems from an interest in WWII the European theater. The book is a facinating study of Hitler’s use of slogans and proverbial sayings to influence thinking and woo Germany. I once read an article which described it as a “political smoke-screen of phrases”. The guy was a master at it. I think it is one of the reasons why I now find such machinations of language to be so distasteful.

Did you read the post. Are you cool with “Mein Kaumpf” being a best seller in Turkey? Are you cool with honor killings? Please, take a deep breath, release the multicultural bullshit that is preventing your brain from functioning properly and say with Jake.

“Not all cultures are created equal!”

Also, thank you, you’re goddamned right I’m an American and I apologize to no one for that little detail.

Also, If you’d bothered to read the post, I specifically mention that I don’t care if they hate us, make fun of us or cast us as the bad guy. What I do care about is they then naturally move from that to Holocaust type speech toward Jews. Again, are you cool with that?

I ain’t!

No….we “make mock” of the stupid ideas that non native speakers drop in the comments sections of our sites. I wouldn’t dream of going to a site and leaving a comment in a language I am not certain I can communicate in, especially when I disagree with what is written there.

To “make mock” of someone for their horrendously stupid ideas is not racism, by the way, nor is it ignorant or stupid, but rather it is simply pointing out the ignorance and stupidity of the one that is having their position mocked.

So, are you saying that there are some europeans that are scared of Americans that put forth stupid ideas? I agree with that. There are alot of Americans that put forth stupid ideas that scare me too, and most of them are in the democratic party.

The only europeans that should be scared of Americans are the ones that think jihad is a good way to live, and that America, and Americans, are simply targets and infidels to be killed when found. But then, anyone that believes that, european or not, should rightfully be scared of Americans.

Unlike the french, we are not going to appease anyone and lie down and become a bunch of dhimmis.

We have a saying here.

Live free or die.

Guess which one we prefer?

Need a hint?

Ask the jihadis.
