What an absolute load of hyperbolic, fact-free nonsense. I don't know where those absurd cartoon Muslims from your article reside, but suspect it is purely in your imagination.

I'm not a liberal, I'm genuinely intolerant of most ethnic minorities -- like ignorant, boorish Southern Europeans; lawless scheming mainland Chinese; lying, thuggish Irish; and don't get me started on those avaricious, vulgar and spiteful Jews -- but of all the 'un-British', I find the most gracious and decent to be the Arab Muslims I know.

I don't know about Saudis, they have a bad reputation among the Arabs -- and the Lebanese are more like Europeans (violent and fractious) than Arabs -- but I know some Jordanian, Syrian and Iraqi Muslims, and they are the some of the most urbane, hospitable, right-minded folk I know.

I would gladly see more ordinary Arabs (not the rich ones -- the rich of all cultures make terrible migrants), Muslim as as well as Christians, move to the West. They support traditional values, and make excellent (if boisterous) neighbours. And they'll stand up to the smut-merchants and the Jews, which someone ought to be doing.

Thanks to Hyder Ali -- that's quite a name, under the circumstances.

As to Kip Watson, I thought of deleting his rant, designed to prove he is not that awful thing, a "liberal,"�about all kinds of people ("ignorant, boorish Southern Europeans; lawless scheming mainland Chinese; lying, thuggish Irish; and don't get me started on those avaricious, vulgar and spiteful Jews"), though he does have a soft spot for one particular group ("of all the 'un-British', I find the most gracious and decent to be the Arab Muslims I know."). Yes, it could all have been made to disappear with a quick click, but then I bethought�myself, and�-- especially when I came to the tellingly repeated business at the end about "the�Jews" -- I decided it would be best to keep every word on permanent display.

Beautifully done, Kip.

All excellent solutions to the problem of Islamic subversion.  Alas, none of the three possible future presidents would dare to propose even one of them.  And it's laughable to think that either of them would silently approve even one. In short, nothing like what you propose is going to happen. Ms. Ferraro's 100% accurate observation about affirmative action electoral politics occasioned world class groveling by Ms. Clinton.  Mr.  Obama  says  that  Kenyans in the slums of Kibera, Kenya, are his brothers and sisters.  And Mr. McCain has heard of neither the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, or the United States border.

There are many more informed Americans than there were before 9/11 but there is nothing like a critical mass.  It's hard to see evidence that present-day American politics are about anything more than just personality, sex, or skin color.  Television and movies serve up sound no warning of any kind.  Muslim terrorists in Tom Clancy's novel were transformed into Neo-Nazis in the movie version.  Is that our biggest problem in the U.S.?  A resurgence of National Socialism?

America is a most unserious nation.  We listen seriously to politicians who want the federal government to arrange for cheap health insurance but no on asks where in the Constitution Congress has the power to legislate on health matters.  We lie down like cur dogs before the millions who flood at will across our borders and demand welfare and other benefits.  And we invite in adherents of a religion who are intent from the first day they set foot on our soil to overturn our Constitution and way of life.

This is not a populace that is interested in your salutary prescriptions. They won't be until they understand, and embrace a very basic idea.

A very appropriate poem in Col. Bunny's comment.  And very sensible ideas in the article.  If our political leaders aren't going to pick them up and run with them right now, we can still tell our friends and neighbors about this article and let them think about it, do their own research on Islam's history, and tell their friends and neighbors about it, and so on.  We'll eventually get that critical mass.
