Good For a Laugh. . .and Not Much Else

From The Federalist Patriot:

"To call it Islamic terror is discriminating, it's bigoted, it is not the right thing to say. ... We just take for granted that there is an Islamic terror movement because we do have some fanatic people who come from Islamic countries. ... When we had the Ku Klux Klan we didn't call them Baptist terrorists. When Hitler was killing Jews, we didn't call it Christian terrorists." --Rep. Charlie Rangel when asked why France refuses to designate Hezbollah as an Islamic terror group

This is perhaps the most ignorant, mentally arrested quote I've read in a long time; and that's saying a lot, coming from this daffy snob.

Ok, utterly justifiable ad hominem attacks aside, I have some questions for Chuckles: Is it discriminating? Sure it is. So what? There's nothing wrong with that. I discriminate every day, over all sorts of things. This isn't a four-letter word, folks. Bigoted? Nonsense. It is the religion of Islam that motivates Hezbollah and other charity groups to behave like animals, commiting terrorist acts, linking the Jews with subhuman beasts, and denouncing the West as the devil incarnate, while finding no troubles in the day-to-day, typical monstrosities of Islamic culture. In short, Islam motivates such actions. Hezbollah's worldview is not in discord with Islamic teaching. It is Muslims who denounce all forms of violence and religious coercion who stray from "The Straight Path." And as I've asked before, are we to believe it is pure coincidence that the only terrorism affecting the United States in a serious way is Islamic in nature?

His remark about the Klan is just stupid. All Klansmen are not Baptists; and the ones who are harbor a distorted view of God's word that would be the envy of most contortionists.

But Chuckles' cognitive dissolution shines for all to see, when he mentions Hitler in the same breath as Christians. Hitler was not a Christian. He loathed Christianity, seeing it as his worst enemy. The Nazis were not Christians, but neo-pagan butchers, having more in common with the New Age movement than Christianity. In fact, Naziism is about as far from following the teachings of Christ as one can get, in this world.

Isn't it frightening that we have such historically blind people in high public office?

Hey, Chuck, given your defensive pronouncement about France's motives, who's the real bigot, here?
