In the 24 hour news cycle yesterday, the majority of time  (and rightfully so)  was taken up by the capture of and subsequent revelations about the Times Square Bomber, Faisal Shahzad.  It was revealed that he was a naturalized citizen who left to return to Pakistan for additional (ahem)technical training 3 months before going through his citizenship ceremony.   He returned here without his American wife and two children to complete his mission.

There was all sorts of speculation among the Main Stream Media and Liberal Politicians as to his motivation for trying to blow up a 1993 Nissan Pathfinder Saturday night in the heart of one of the busiest entertainment meccas in America.  Some speculated that he was angry over the foreclosure of his house.    Some claimed it was Boooosh’s fault.  New York City Mayor Bloomberg  told perky Katie Couric that he thought the Bomber was:

Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.

And some in the Main Stream Media were just downright disappointed:

Amongst all the angst by our self-appointed arbitrators of appropriateness, there was one term that I never heard yesterday until I was watching Monica Crowley (God bless her) sitting there with Alan (Skelator) Colmes last night on the O’Reilly Factor.  That term was (shoo away the small children) Muslim Extremist. (gasp!).

Along with Barak Hussein Obama (mm mmm mmmm) and his Administration, the sycophantic MSM has determined that calling a Muslim Terrorist a Muslim Extremist  is so offensive, that just speaking those dreaded words might do irreparable harm to the wonderful relationship that the Greatest President of  All Time has forged with the Middle East.  (Just ask Bibi Netanyahu about our POTUS.)

Hey, it’s worked great so far, hasn’t it?  While Iranian President Ahmedinejad is fervently rushing to build a nuclear arsenal in order to blow the U.S. off the face of the Earth, Scooter breached Protocol and torqued off one of our staunchest allies, Israel, at a White House Conference, and then he held a Summit Conference for Muslim Entrepreneurs.

So, while President Pantywaist’s Administration and the MSM are pussy-footin’ around, the Muslim Extremists (Yeah, I said it.) have become emboldened to the point that they are now embedding themselves in our culture, like the old Russian Sleeper Cells during the Cold War, just waiting to kill as many Americans as they can and claim their 72 virgins.  Thanks to the naive at best, treasonous at worst, policies of this President and his Administration, America is having to fight the War on Terror on the streets of our own cities.

But, Scooter is waaaay smarter than we are.  He speaks about Islam from personal experience, as in his Cairo Speech on June 4, 2009:

Now part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I’m a Christian (Is that why you said that we were no longer a Christian nation?), but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims.  As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia (in a Madrassa) and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and at the fall of dusk.  As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith (like Calypso Louie Farrakhan?).  As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.  It was Islam — at places like Al-Azhar — that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe’s Renaissance and Enlightenment (nothing like Revisionist History).  It was innovation in Muslim communities — (applause) — it was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed.  Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation (and beheadings).  And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds (like jihad) the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.  (Applause.)

Y’know, I was called an Extremist yesterday.  It happened on a very popular Conservative Website by a Liberal poster, after I dared asked why the MSM was not referring to Faisal Shahzad as a Muslim Extremist.  I replied:

Yep.  I’m an Extremist.  I’m extreme in my love for God, my family, and my country and the freedom it affords which gives you the right to be a total jerk on the Internet.

He did not have a snappy comeback for that.

By the way, on Fox and Friends this morning, it was announced that 83 % of Americans believe that God answers prayers.  That means that, according to the Administration and the Main Street Media, 83 % of you are Extremists, too.
