All of the things that liberals hold so dear, women's rights, right to choose, disarmament, education, gay rights.
And all of the things they detest, religion, battered women, intolerance, homophobes, glass ceilings, slave traders, slave owners..
This love affair with Islam that you have is baffling. That you think Muslims will enrich our culture, and will just melt in the pot makes no sense because,
Every thing that you hold dear, they detest.

Egyptian Military Ousts President Morsi
Egypt's top military commander says the army is now in full control of the country and President Mohammed Morsi has been replaced by the chief justice of the constitutional court as the interim head of state.
He made the announcements in a Wednesday night speech -- the latest twists in an all-out power struggle inside Egypt that Morsi's national security adviser is describing as a military coup.
Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said Morsi has failed to meet the demands of Egypt's people and the country's constitution has been temporarily suspended.
Fireworks erupted in Tahrir Square after the announcement was made.
Egypt's top military commander announced Wednesday President Mohammed Morsi had been ousted and replaced by the chief justice of the constitutional court as the interim head of state.
In addition, Gen. Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said the country's constitution has been temporarily suspended and new elections would be held.
In Washington, President Obama issued a statement Wednesday night saying the administration was "deeply concerned" by the decision to remove Morsi and urged the military to avoid "any arbitrary arrests" of the president and his supporters.
Obama also said in light of Morsi's ouster he had "directed the relevant departments and agencies to review the implications under U.S. law for our assistance to the government of Egypt."
At the same time, a security official in Cairo said the head of Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood political party and the organization's deputy chief had been arrested, reportedly in connection with an escape from prison in 2011.
The state-run newspaper Al-Ahram said arrest warrants were being issued for 300 members of the Brotherhood, Reuters reported.
Millions of anti-Morsi protesters in Tahrir Square and around the country erupted in cheers at the news of Morsi's ouster, setting off fireworks and shouting "God is great" and "Long live Egypt."
Morsi, whose whereabouts were not immediately known, said on his presidential Facebook page that the military's action "represents a military coup and it is unacceptable."
An aide said Morsi, who spent the day working in his office, had been moved to an undisclosed location.
In Washington, a U.S. official said nonessential diplomats and embassy families had been ordered to leave Egypt amid the unrest. The State Department issued a warning urging U.S. citizens in the country to leave.
In appointing Adli Mansour the new interim leader, el-Sissi also said a government of technocrats would be formed with "full powers" to run the country. He did not specify how long the transition period would last or when new elections might be held.
Top military officials and opposition leaders met Wednesday and agreed on a political roadmap for the country's future, el-Sissi said. A new presidential cabinet will be formed as well as a national reconciliation committee, which will include youth movements that have been behind anti-Morsi demonstrations.
El-Sissi also warned said the military would deal "decisively" with any violence sparked by the announcements.
Before el-Sissi's address, Egyptian troops, including commandos in full combat gear, were deployed across much of Cairo, including at key facilities, on bridges over the Nile River and at major intersections.
Witnesses told Reuters that the army erected barbed wire and barriers around Morsi's work compound, and moved in vehicles and troops to prevent supporters from getting to his palace.
A travel ban was put on Morsi and the head of his Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, as well as Badie's deputy Khairat el-Shater, officials told the Associated Press.
Minutes before the military’s deadline for Morsi to resolve the nation’s political crisis passed Wednesday afternoon, the embattled leader called for "national reconciliation," but vowed he would never step down.
Millions were in the main squares of major cities nationwide, demanding Morsi's removal, in the fourth day of the biggest anti-government rallies the country has seen, surpassing even those in the uprising that ousted against his autocratic predecessor Hosni Mubarak. Critics say Morsi set the nation on a path toward Islamic rule.
Khaled Daoud, spokesman of the main opposition National Salvation Front, which pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei leads, said that ElBaradei, Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb, grand imam of Al-Azharmosque, and Pope Tawadros II, patriarch of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority, were part of the Wednesday meetings with military leaders.
Employees at Egypt's state TV station said military officers were present in the newsroom monitoring its output, but not interfering with their work.
In an emotional 46-minute speech late Tuesday, Morsi vowed not to step down and pledged to defend his constitutional legitimacy with his life in the face of three days of massive street demonstrations calling for his ouster.
The Islamist leader accused Mubarak loyalists of exploiting the wave of protests to topple his regime and thwart democracy.
"There is no substitute for legitimacy," said Morsi, at times angrily raising his voice, thrusting his fist in the air and pounding the podium. He warned that electoral and constitutional legitimacy "is the only guarantee against violence."
I would like to take particular issue with the O. P.
His post line was, in relation to what Trump actually said, a pure fraud. People in control of this board ought to do better.
These desperate and despicable Democrats decided to use these parents for political purposes, the parents agreed to be so used...so Trump used them for political purposes too...as he had a perfect right to do...too make a point as well...which is that while this Muslim Man was waiving the U. S. Constitution at Trump...he was hiding behind his intractable mid-eval Islamic beliefs to keep the woman's mouth shut. He probably never let her drive a car either.
Trump ridicules the hypocrisy of the Democrats. He has broken through the political correctness bullshit and called out the hypocrisy...and it makes you pinheads and loons and socialists and hypocrites crazy....God Bless him...he has some personality disorders, but he has three redeeming qualities that are almost Heavenly by comparison:
1) He's got the guts to take on the best shots the Libero-Progorsso-Socialists-Pravda-like Media can offer;
2) He has the sense to see the mess Europe has on its hands for being complete Liberal Dumb-Asses and letting a Middle -Eastern Culture into its borders in-masse...one which has a tradition of Barbarism, of Blood-lust; of carrying grudges, not for decades, but for centuries....and believes that instead of assimilating with Infidels (Us) they must convert us or kill us....and Trump has the sense to see we are fools to let the same thing happen here.
3) And, most of all, he is NOT Hillary Clinton...the debased and craven coat-tial rider of a pussy-loving Southern Boy, who happened to be a political genius.
You realise that Obama was concerned that a democratically elected leader of an ally of the US had been overthrown in a military coup...don't you?Oooo...I'd love to see some links to that!Trump's statements were anti-Muslim dogwhistle...pure and simple.

Ex-Soviet Jewry icon, now Jewish Agency chief, slams the US president for his failure to support dissidents across the Middle East
BY DAVID HOROVITZ January 30, 2014, 7:28 pm
Natan Sharansky, the former Soviet dissident and Israeli politician who now heads the quasi-governmental Jewish Agency, assailed US President Barack Obama for failing to support anti-regime dissidents in the region.
Most importantly, he indicated, Obama’s decision not to encourage the would-be reformers confronting the ayatollahs’ regime in 2009 doomed those protests, which might otherwise have led to a revolution ousting the hardline Islamist regime.
The case of the thwarted revolution in Iran was “the saddest” instance of Obama’s misguided human rights stance, said Sharansky in a wide-ranging interview with The Times of Israel. “Everything starts from the fact that in 2009, when Iranians were ready for the revolution, when millions of double thinkers were going to cross this line,” said Sharansky, “they hear the message from the American president: Engagement with the government of Iran is more important than [its] replacement.”
The president’s stance, he said, “took all the energy out of this [movement]. And if it had succeeded then,” he added, “the whole Arab Spring could have been a very different story.”

More generally, Sharansky castigated Obama for failing to support dissidents across the region who were standing up against dictatorship. “With all that is happening in the Middle East,” he charged, “the president of the United States doesn’t take a position.”
Sharansky, who spent nine years in a Soviet gulag after seeking to immigrate to Israel before his release in 1986, said bitterly that “if American politicians had treated [Soviet dissident Andrei] Sakharov the way American leaders today are treating Egyptian dissidents, the Soviet Union might still exist.”
He said that while president Jimmy Carter had taken a highly principled stance in support of Sakharov, and George W. Bush “met with more than 100 democratic dissidents… and broke many taboos” on their behalf, Obama “simply stopped. You can’t tell me one important human rights activist [with whom Obama has met] when he was not already on the winning side.”
Sharansky said he’d had only one meeting with Obama, during the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, and that Obama made clear then that “it would be very important to him to continue this tradition where American presidents help dissidents.” But that changed after Obama assumed the presidency.

Sharansky, the former head of a center-right political party and an ex-Israeli government minister, also said the current US-led effort to quickly broker an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal was doomed to failure, because a climate for peace had to be built bottom up. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was telling the truth when he said that Palestinian society is not ready to live with Jews in its midst, Sharansky said. “He’s right. He’s saying, Our society is not ready to accept this. He’s not saying, I’m anti-Semitic. But this, for me, is the barometer of readiness or not readiness to accept a peace treaty.”
The guiding human rights principle for the US in the Middle East and beyond, Sharansky said, must be to support processes for creating societies with free economies, political freedom, and bottom-up educational work. “Just consistently support steps towards civil society — in Egypt, in the West Bank, everywhere,” he urged. “Do that for a few years.”

Good God. This thread is hilarious. Coyote spends most of her time on this board spinning for Islam and Islamists.
She makes herself ridiculous by furiously seeking to divorce Islamic murderers and terrorists from Islam, and almost always suggests such people are 'mentally ill'. She has no problem whatsoever with shariah law and the worth it places upon women in Islam.
Yet Donald Trump ASKS A QUESTION - one which no doubt formed in the minds of many observers and - no doubt - in the minds of plenty of women - and he's has ATTACKED THE PARENTS OF A MUSLIM WAR HERO!!!
If it wasnt so hypocritically sick, I'd be laughing.
I thought we were talking about Egypt and Morsi?You realise that Obama was concerned that a democratically elected leader of an ally of the US had been overthrown in a military coup...don't you?Oooo...I'd love to see some links to that!Trump's statements were anti-Muslim dogwhistle...pure and simple.

The state-run newspaper Al-Ahram said arrest warrants were being issued for 300 members of the Brotherhood, Reuters reported.
Millions of anti-Morsi protesters in Tahrir Square and around the country erupted in cheers at the news of Morsi's ouster, setting off fireworks and shouting "God is great" and "Long live Egypt."
Morsi, whose whereabouts were not immediately known, said on his presidential Facebook page that the military's action "represents a military coup and it is unacceptable."
An aide said Morsi, who spent the day working in his office, had been moved to an undisclosed location.
In Washington, a U.S. official said nonessential diplomats and embassy families had been ordered to leave Egypt amid the unrest. The State Department issued a warning urging U.S. citizens in the country to leave.
In appointing Adli Mansour the new interim leader, el-Sissi also said a government of technocrats would be formed with "full powers" to run the country. He did not specify how long the transition period would last or when new elections might be held.
Top military officials and opposition leaders met Wednesday and agreed on a political roadmap for the country's future, el-Sissi said. A new presidential cabinet will be formed as well as a national reconciliation committee, which will include youth movements that have been behind anti-Morsi demonstrations.
El-Sissi also warned said the military would deal "decisively" with any violence sparked by the announcements.
Before el-Sissi's address, Egyptian troops, including commandos in full combat gear, were deployed across much of Cairo, including at key facilities, on bridges over the Nile River and at major intersections.
Witnesses told Reuters that the army erected barbed wire and barriers around Morsi's work compound, and moved in vehicles and troops to prevent supporters from getting to his palace.
A travel ban was put on Morsi and the head of his Muslim Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, as well as Badie's deputy Khairat el-Shater, officials told the Associated Press.
Minutes before the military’s deadline for Morsi to resolve the nation’s political crisis passed Wednesday afternoon, the embattled leader called for "national reconciliation," but vowed he would never step down.
Millions were in the main squares of major cities nationwide, demanding Morsi's removal, in the fourth day of the biggest anti-government rallies the country has seen, surpassing even those in the uprising that ousted against his autocratic predecessor Hosni Mubarak. Critics say Morsi set the nation on a path toward Islamic rule.
Khaled Daoud, spokesman of the main opposition National Salvation Front, which pro-reform leader Mohamed ElBaradei leads, said that ElBaradei, Sheik Ahmed el-Tayeb, grand imam of Al-Azharmosque, and Pope Tawadros II, patriarch of Egypt's Coptic Christian minority, were part of the Wednesday meetings with military leaders.
Employees at Egypt's state TV station said military officers were present in the newsroom monitoring its output, but not interfering with their work.
In an emotional 46-minute speech late Tuesday, Morsi vowed not to step down and pledged to defend his constitutional legitimacy with his life in the face of three days of massive street demonstrations calling for his ouster.
The Islamist leader accused Mubarak loyalists of exploiting the wave of protests to topple his regime and thwart democracy.
"There is no substitute for legitimacy," said Morsi, at times angrily raising his voice, thrusting his fist in the air and pounding the podium. He warned that electoral and constitutional legitimacy "is the only guarantee against violence."
He replaced a dictator who oppressed and murdered his own people.
