Time Text
Welcome to today's edition of the Rush 24-7 podcast.
Welcome to the Rush Lima program and welcome to, well, the EIB network.
Gosh, I've got so much going on here today.
Don't try to get to an airport.
We'll have a little sound from our little airport here in San Diego coming at you from the left coast at the studios of KOGO Radio in San Diego.
I am Roger Hedgecock, and thanks for all the feedback on yesterday's show.
We're going to follow up with some of that today as well on some of the points that you have made in this show.
It is, of course, Open Line Friday, and we'll get to that as well.
Your calls, your opinions, your topic at 1-800-282-2882.
Now, I must admit, thinking about Open Line Friday, I have some fears because obviously Rush handles this very well.
I mean, you could throw any question at him, and he's got it.
So, I don't know, put me to the test.
Let's see if the substitute teacher can do anywhere near as well.
At 1-800-282-2882.
The big story, of course, is the continuing good news that a terrorist plot to blow up a number of airplanes, and I have to correct myself.
Yesterday it was over the Atlantic as they were coming from the UK into the United States.
It is now apparent that the plot was to blow up those planes as they approached American airports and shower America with the debris of obliterated bodies and airplane parts.
That is the nature of our foe, and a nature that I think people are waking up to.
We are also waking up to the fact that it is radical Islam.
It is Islamic fascism, as the president put it yesterday, that we are at war with, and it is not a pretty sight.
These are not people playing by any kind of rules other than their own.
These are people, by the way, who are not disadvantaged.
They are not attacking us.
They do not hate us for economic reasons at all.
They simply believe that as infidels to their version of Islam, we deserve to die.
Now, interestingly enough, not only are all of the arrestees so far in both Britain and in Pakistan, where the government there has rounded up a number of people and questioned a number more, the folks are Pakistanis, with the exception of two in the list in Britain who were Muslim converts, apparently, from the general population there in Britain.
24 now being held in raids, which included the wife of one of those converts, pregnant and in her pajamas, taken into custody.
They weren't messing around in Britain yesterday.
24 now held one of the young men with a bank account, unemployed, with a bank account of 300,000 pounds.
That's what, $500 and some thousand dollars.
These are well-funded, well-educated mass murderers who are motivated by an extreme, and I would say un-Islamic interpretation of Islam.
So we'll get a little bit into that.
The unimaginable mass murder, as one headline put it, that was contemplated.
It should be said also that the tip that began the exposure of this incredible, incredible effort to kill this incredible mass murder plan.
The tip began with a Muslim, a member of the Muslim community reporting suspicions about an acquaintance after the July 7, 2005 suicide bombings on London's transit system, which took 50-some lives back then.
And once again, in looking at all of the press in the U.K., up comes again the name of a member of parliament, George Galloway.
Remember him, the famous friend of Saddam Hussein, who was, it is said by the brother of one of the terrorist suspects, Waheed Zaman, that he had met with George Galloway and met him many times.
Galloway spokesman said, Waheed Zaman is not a name George is familiar with.
That's because these guys had many names, Galloway, and you know, again, you're an enemy of the West.
You're an enemy of freedom.
You have been siding with the terrorists all along, and you're doing it again.
There's going to be more on that.
Now, I must say on a personal level, this whole thing has created, of course, at airports continuing catastrophe and chaos for many.
I mean, our lattes are now a weapon of mass destruction.
Our iPods, our Kodak cameras, whatever, seem now to be weapons of mass destruction.
Not only that, the chaos.
When you ask a government agency, of course, to turn on a dime and implement new regulations, the chaos at airports yesterday was, well, I don't know how it was in your town, but this is what it sounded like here at Lindbergh Field in San Diego.
We weren't told at check-in that we weren't allowed to have liquids and stuff, so when we got up there, they took all of our hair products and our alcohol and stuff like that.
I don't know if they're going to allow toothpaste.
I have that in my bag.
But we'll see.
If not, there'll be some bad breath going on.
They patted us all down.
They searched our bags twice.
First our check-on luggage when we came through, and then the second time before we got on the plane.
My wife was peeved because all of her expensive makeup and perfume had to be tossed.
I mean, it was really the equivalent of about several hundred dollars, I'm sure.
It was very, very hectic.
Very, very, very hectic.
So there you go.
As we all become suspects in the war on terror, everyone flying now is a suspect because we still, to this moment, refuse to do basic law enforcement, which is to look at the perps.
We've actually rounded up over the last, and we know them because what?
The last attack of this kind was foiled back in 1994.
This is not new.
2001, September 11 is almost five years ago.
This is not new.
We know the source.
We know who our enemy is.
And we refuse to look for that enemy in the airports, preferring instead to spread the suspicion to every single person entering the airport.
It is moronic, ladies and gentlemen, and needs to stop.
Senator Schumer, by the way, is on my side.
This from Newsday.com.
Newsday, AP reporting that among the thousands of frustrated flyers stuck at London's Heathrow airport Thursday was U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, a jet-lagged casualty of worldwide delays and cancellations that grounded his family vacation.
The senator told Associated Press by phone, quote, it's a nightmare.
Everyone's stuck.
Our flight is apparently delayed until Sunday.
The nightmare for Schumer is being stuck.
The nightmare for the rest of us is we're in a war he refuses to acknowledge.
The nightmare for the rest of us is that we're in a war that the Bush administration refuses to focus on the actual enemy in our airports rather than the rest of us in our cosmetics.
I mean, not my cosmetics, but I mean, you heard the woman in her cosmetic.
Although they were making fun of this reporter today on Fox News saying this male who was going through and said he was now on his flight and had to give up all his stuff, did you have to give up your liquid foundation too?
And the women, you know, the women reporters were making fun of him because he wore makeup famously on air.
So Sandra Bernhardt, close friend of Madonna, threatened to fight new security measures at airports imposed after these terrorist attacks.
She said she's scheduled to fly out of New York's JFK airport today, and she's determined to break the rule about non-essential hand luggage.
She says, when I go to the airport and they try to take my Mac plush glass away from me, it's going to be World War III.
Just shoot her, please.
It is kind of interesting that the detonator discussed for this foiled bombing was to be a disposable camera, along with the famous chemical mixture of otherwise known as a sports drink, otherwise known as the Tour de France official drink.
I don't know.
But this, you know, terrorism and the Hezbollah people are the experts on this.
Well, all of the terrorists are.
The way to manipulate our media against us.
Ask Reuters, et cetera.
Ask Mike Wallace, etc.
But I think they were trying to get a twofer here.
This business of detonating the bomb with a camera, they were probably going to get a picture at the same time, which would transmit immediately to Reuters for distribution throughout the world as a picture of the inside of the plane as it detonated and blew up so that the terror could be spread more widely.
Probably the terrorist was a Reuters photographer.
Who knows?
By the way, and ladies and gentlemen, I want to rub this in a bit.
Oliver Stone's film World Trade Center, which brought, according to the New York press, tears to the eyes of those who attended the opening night in New York, people who live with the actual memories, brought to tears, stunned by the power of the film.
I'm stunned that Oliver Stone did a straight film that didn't have his leftist nonsense distributed through it.
This film, apparently a straightforward film of the heroism, the battle to save two policemen trapped under tons of rubble.
It is figured now that the first day box office receipts, this is how Californians talk, were $4.4 million.
This is huge.
This could bring $20 million through the opening weekend.
The whole movie costs $65 million.
This is a huge moneymaker.
And in Hollywood, no matter what your ideological agenda, believe me, the bottom line is movies that make money are good movies.
Movies that don't make money are bad movies, no matter what the reviewers say.
All right, 1-800-282-2882.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh and back with your call after this.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh.
And it's Open Line Friday.
I mean, whatever you want to get into, obviously the dominating story of the day worldwide is yet another victory for the Bush administration and the Bush-Blair Alliance and the war on terror and a defeat for Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, Bula Bula, and all the rest of them who would be killing Americans and everybody else they don't like, infidels of every stripe.
So it's a big day for the idea that A, we aren't war.
B, we are winning.
C, This administration is capable of protecting Americans, as opposed to the alternative administration proposed through Ned Lamont and others, and we'll get to that in a moment.
Wow, Lieberman came out swinging the other day.
I'll get to that tape in a moment.
Well, let's take Harriet here in New York City first.
Harriet, welcome to the Russian Limbaugh program.
Hi, Roger.
I agree with you that profiling young Muslim males at airports and many other places, actually, is totally justified and very necessary.
But I'm afraid that in and of itself, that is not going to be enough to protect the public.
And I would like to remind you of an incident that took place a number of years ago, as it happens, at Heathrow Airport.
An Arab man living in England acquired an Irish girlfriend.
She got pregnant.
He asked her to marry him.
He said, well, now it's time to go to my town on the West Bank and visit my parents and plan the wedding and all of that.
Somehow, he persuaded her to travel separately.
He went on his way.
She showed up at the LL counter at Heathrow Airport.
And to make a long story short, he had placed a bomb in her suitcase.
So unwitting dupes come in all races, creeds, colors, ages, genders, whatever.
Oh, there's no question, Harriet.
And in other words, I'm not saying we drop the x-raying of the ⁇ I think we ought to do all of that and put people through the x-ray and put people through their luggage through and take ordinary precautions.
There isn't any question about that.
I just think that getting down to somebody's lipstick today is just, you know, who's, you know, obviously say you show up with your makeup kit and it has to be left behind.
That frankly does not make sense to me.
Well, when the most innocuous objects can now be used as a bomb component, I mean, what do you do?
Well, components.
See, it's one thing to get a dupe like, you know, this Irish pregnant girl, and that story is true.
But there's one thing to get that.
There's another thing to have a complicated situation where you actually have to detonate the bomb.
You have to take your Kodak moment.
You have to go through this series of steps.
You're not going to do that without knowing that you are about to kill yourself, and you're not about to kill yourself unless you actually believe Allah is waiting with 79 virgins on the other side.
Roger, may I make another quick point?
Go ahead.
Some Muslim spokesmen have been very critical of the president for describing our enemy as Islamic fascism.
What I would like to say to those Muslim spokesmen is that at this point, we really don't want to hear anything from you other than a total condemnation of the fanatics and the lunatics in your midst, and also a pledge to cooperate with the authorities in every way possible in exposing these people.
May I say amen?
Harriet, thanks very much.
Isn't it time?
Muslim friends, I understand not all Muslims are terrorists, but at this point in time, I think it is fair, reasonable, rational, logical, and factually based to tell you that every single terrorist is a Muslim in these attacks, in this war on terror.
I'm sorry, these are the facts.
And it is now incumbent.
I've got all these articles in front of me.
Muslim group upset by Bush's use of, quote, Islamic fascists.
Nihad Awad, executive director of CARE, the Council on American Islamic Relations, said the president's hot-button terminology puts the name of Islam and the Muslim community at risk.
No, no, Awad, whatever wad you are, the fact is you, quiet Muslims who are not terrorists but are not speaking up are putting Islam at risk.
You must step forward, as this courageous person did apparently in England, from the Muslim community, tipping off the police to the existence of this terrorist cell over there.
It is time for Muslims to stand up.
Stop playing the PC game of we're entitled to our rights, and don't you diss us.
And you have to respect our diversity.
And you can't call us names, because that's a hate crime.
May I remind you of the school system of Saudi Arabia?
Do you think we don't know about these things?
I'm speaking now to my Muslim friends.
Brothers, do you think that we do not know about these things?
Here is from the, let's see, they have a K-12 system in Saudi.
Saudi texts for Islamic studies used in the school year.
This is from Freedom House.
This is their interpretations.
This is the hate the Saudis have in their official school system.
First grade, here is a quote, passage from the first grade.
Quote, every religion other than Islam is false, unquote.
Fourth grade, quote, true belief means that you hate the polytheists and infidels, but do not treat them unjustly, unquote.
So it's enough, you simply must hate.
Fifth grade, quote, it is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in God and his prophet, unquote.
Sixth grade, quote, just as Muslims were successful in the past when they came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the Christian crusaders from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, God willing, against the Jews and their allies if they stand together and fight a true jihad for God, for this is within God's power, unquote.
Eighth grade, quote, the apes are the Jews, the people of the Sabbath, while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus, unquote.
Ninth grade, quote, the clash between the Muslim community and the Jews and Christians has endured and it will continue as long as God wills, unquote.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the hateful religious indoctrination that the school system of Saudi Arabia promotes and pays for while calling their religion a religion of peace.
This is not in this interpretation, in this country, Saudi Arabia, and that's why so many of these terrorists, because this kind of hate does translate into violence.
Of course it does.
When you are taught to hate and you are taught that the outsider, the infidel, is someone to hate and to speak of in these terms, apes and so forth, a swine.
This is what we are talking about.
Don't you dare, you Muslims here in our countries, don't you dare preach to us about hate?
Don't you dare preach to us about discrimination and bias when you, in your countries, in the Daras Islam, in the land of Islam, teach and preach the kind of hate that has led to this war.
You started this war, you in Islam.
And it is up to you who don't want it to speak up now.
Roger Hedgecock in for Rush Limbaugh today.
And obviously, this welcome news that a terrorist bomb plot has been thwarted and the terrorists rounded up is a victory in our war on terror.
It is also, however, the exposure of London and Britain as if we didn't know it from shoebomber Richard Reed of a couple of years ago as the center of, And interestingly enough, Muslims, largely from Pakistan, who have been there one, two, three generations and yet are spawning this kind of hate.
Hard to understand why someone incorporated into Western culture for three generations would revert to a seventh-century jihadist mentality.
One of those who's looked into this is Melanie Phillips.
She wrote a book about it called Landonistan.
And she is vacationing in, of all places, Jerusalem, where we caught up with her today.
Melanie Phillips joins us on the Russian Limbaugh program.
Hi, Melanie.
Hello, how are you doing?
I'm doing fine.
We'll talk in a moment about the politics and the war in Lebanon here because I'm sure you're on top of that.
But let's talk a little bit about what you studied for some time.
What were your thoughts when you heard about the roundup of these folks and the thwarting of this and the exposure of this incredible plan to blow up all these airplanes?
Yeah.
Well, my first reaction was shock, because this is deeply shocking.
Shock at the size of this conspiracy and of the potential implications of potentially hundreds or even thousands of people being murdered.
This is deeply, deeply shocking information.
But I wasn't surprised.
I have been warning about the threat to Britain and the free world, which has been allowed to grow within Britain on British soil by British Muslims against their own country and against the West for some time.
And the really awful thing is that Britain even now doesn't get it.
This may seem impossible for people in America to fully understand the degree of denial in Britain's society, particularly Britain's establishment.
But it may come as a surprise, to put it mildly, to you, to know that when news of this appalling conspiracy first broke, the reaction was to not mention the word Muslim or Islam or Islamic at all.
The suspects came from Pakistan.
They were British-born.
That's all people were told.
The only references made to the fact that they are Muslim is, in fact, in complaints by the Muslim community that the Muslim community is now going to be the target of Islamophobia.
And this is the problem that Britain has, and this is partly why Britain now has this appalling problem of homegrown Muslim radicals.
It refuses to acknowledge that what drives these people to these monstrous and inhuman acts against Britain, against America, against the free world, is religious fanaticism.
That doesn't mean that all Muslims subscribe to this.
On the contrary, very many hundreds of thousands of Muslims in Britain do not subscribe to this kind of extremism, let alone terrorism.
And the same goes for many Muslims across the world.
But nevertheless, what drives people to these acts is a theological belief in holy war against the infidel.
Is there Melanie Phillips?
Is there, let me ask you, Melanie, is there in Britain an imam or a series of imams?
Is there a mosque-oriented source for this radicalism, or is there another source?
No, it's much worse than that.
It's much more widely spread than that.
I mean, there are radical mosques.
And my contention, and one of the reasons I wrote my book, was that the British authorities are not doing enough about that problem.
Indeed, it may come as an astonished.
Again, you may be astonished to know that on the site of the Olympic village, you know, Britain is about to host the Olympics in 2012, there is being built one of the largest mosques, if not the largest mosque in Europe.
But it is being built on funds provided by the Tablighi al-Jama'at, which both the FBI and French intelligence believe is one of the most significant and largest recruiters for al-Qaeda in Europe.
This is the extent to which the British authorities are turning a blind eye.
But it's not just the mosques.
Young Muslims are being radicalized on campus, particularly on campus, to a shocking degree.
Radical groups are operating both above and below the radar in radicalizing Muslims, not just on campus, but peripatetic youth workers, youth clubs, imams in prisons,
a tremendously vulnerable group in prison of Muslim and indeed non-Muslims in prison who are being recruited to Islam and recruited to a particularly virulent form of jihadi Islam and if they are already Muslim are being radicalized in prison.
And the British authorities have simply turned a blind eye to all of this.
Melanie Phillips with us and her book is Landonistan and she's in Jerusalem.
Now, Melanie, let me just then take the government side.
They say, yes, we recognize all of this.
We have been reaching out into the Muslim community because, as you say, not all Muslims are radicalized.
We've been developing ties.
In fact, the tip that came that tipped off the authorities to the existence of this conspiracy came from the Muslim community.
We are building successful we had a policeman in the we were able to infiltrate the group with the aid of other Muslims.
We have successfully been able to monitor what's going on here.
It's not something we don't know about.
And we are, in fact, trying to get a handle on those radicalizers and they're being taken care of either by being arrested or thrown out of the country.
In other words, there is in place some policies that follow your recommendations, aren't there?
Not at all, not at all, I'm afraid.
First of all, we don't know what's happened here.
We don't know quite who was the informants or who informants.
There's a lot about this.
We still don't know.
Nevertheless, it is true that the police and security people want to put out lines into the Muslim community in order to get informants, and that's a very understandable reaction.
But the problem is that the policy of appeasement, and I think that's not too strong a word, that the British security establishment is undertaking, goes far, far beyond that.
What it involves is taking on its own face value the account given by the Muslim community in general, that there is nothing wrong with it, that these terrible acts are being performed by people who aren't really Muslims at all, and so on.
And the British basically believe that it is an appeasement mentality.
They believe that if you throw a few bones at a community that is radicalized, if you bring the radicals into the British establishment, you build them up and so on, you will kind of draw the sting of the poison.
And as a result, the British government has recruited as advisors to the British government on combating Muslim extremism, people who belong to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood are the Wahhabi sect who are basically behind al-Qaeda.
It is completely insane.
And what they are refusing to do, you see, is this.
It's all very well to say that there are many, many Muslims in Britain who are not radical and not extreme.
That is true.
However, there are a lot who are.
And the question is, why are they being radicalized and how are they being radicalized?
They're being radicalized because the British are not doing anything about the preaching and the teaching on British soil of hatred, of incitement to hatred, the preaching and teaching of hatred of America, hatred of the West, hatred of the Jews.
Now, in my view, what the British authorities should be doing is saying to the Muslims in Britain, look, you are free to practice your faith here.
We have no problem with that.
We respect it, provided you practice it in accordance with the rules governing a civilized and democratic society.
But if you are preaching and teaching hatred, if you are inciting to violence and inciting to murder and inciting against the West, we're going to stop it.
We are going to make it our business to find out what you are preaching and teaching.
And if it's okay, that's fine.
But if it's not, we are going to prosecute you.
We are going to imprison you.
We are going to throw out the country.
We are going to stop it.
Now, the British won't do that because the British say we can't possibly act against the community because we'll turn it against us.
We'll make more radicals.
We can't interfere with people's religion.
It's a kind of private space.
We will be called and we will consider ourselves even to be racist and prejudiced if we do this.
I think you and America have some of the same kind of hang-ups.
And as a result, the British state has been paralyzed.
And all credit to them for having discovered this plot in time.
But, you know, they're making this terrible mistake.
They think that what's required is simply the ability to penetrate terrorist cells, to break them up, to discover plots before they are allowed to come to fruition.
And that obviously is absolutely vital and absolutely necessary.
But what they don't understand is that that is not the way we're going to win this thing because it's not enough to break up the terrorist plots.
You've got to get at the ideas that are driving people to these terrible acts.
You've got to get at the lies and the propaganda that are in these people's heads.
And it is a kind of demented stuff.
And you've got to try and put a stop to that.
And until we grapple with that, until we realize that ideas kill in this context, until we realize that we're facing as much as anything a war to do with culture and religion, a religious war, that is what's being prosecuted against us.
It is a jihad.
It is a religious war.
While we are denying that, while we are denying the nature and the reality of what we're facing, I don't think we're going to get on top of this.
All right, Melanie Phillips.
Now, just very quickly, can you identify any politicians in Britain who get it and who are advocating what you are saying?
Yes, there are one or two, but they are not really in the front line of politics.
I wouldn't have thought that you would necessarily have heard of some of them.
I mean, there's a young and rising politician called Michael Gove, for example, G-O-V-E in the Conservative Party, who's in fact a very new member of Parliament.
He absolutely gets it.
He understands that this is a holy war that the West is facing.
But I'm afraid he's nowhere near the seat of power, I'm afraid.
Melanie Phillips with us.
Her book is Landonistan, to give you an idea and a background of what went on and what went on yesterday in the headlines.
There's a lot more to it.
Melanie Phillips, thank you so much for being with us.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Ali Me.
Great.
We're going to have a break.
I'm Roger Hedgecock on the Rush Limbaugh program and be back with your reaction to that and some latest polling data of American attitudes on this issue after this.
Roger Hedgecock, in for Rush Limbaugh.
Now, let's pick up on the point of the last point made by our author because this country is waking up.
And yesterday's news had much to do with it.
Before yesterday's news, the Investors Business Daily did a poll.
This is not going to get widespread mainstream drive-by media attention, so listen up because you're going to hear something here that is going to give you a great deal of comfort.
America is waking up.
Do you agree?
This is the first question.
And I'm going to give you the questions of the poll so you understand how this goes.
Do you agree or disagree?
Militant Islamism, as they put it, militant Islamism, is no less a threat in the 21st century than Nazism, fascism, and communism were in the 20th century.
Now, that's a big statement.
Militant Islam is as great a threat in our century as the 20th century threats from Nazis, fascists, and communists.
Wow.
51% agree.
It's 55% among Republicans.
It's 50% among Democrats.
About the same number of Connecticut voters that voted for Lieberman.
Very interesting.
Second question.
I am very concerned about the rising tide of Islamo-fascism and its desire to establish a worldwide Muslim rule.
63% agree.
63.
43% of those agree strongly.
And this is, I think, another one of these wake-up calls to independent voters and Democrats for that matter.
58% doubt that diplomacy and negotiation are of much use in dealing with Islamic fascists bent on destroying Western civilization.
Wow.
I believe Iran is the main promoter of Islamo-fascism in the Middle East, agree or disagree.
57% agree.
55% of Democrats agree.
These are strong numbers.
How about this one?
It will take a strong commitment by the United States as the West's lone superpower to eliminate the threat of militant Islamism.
Ned Lamont's entire campaign is we've got to get out.
Our war is generating more terrorism rather than less.
You don't defeat them by killing them.
You defeat them by talking to them.
They can be talked out of their fascism if only we were talking.
Strong commitment by the U.S. as the lone superpower.
Again, 59% agree.
52% of Democrats agree.
Iran must be prevented at any cost from obtaining nuclear weapons.
Wow.
76% agree.
68% of Democrats agree.
Iran must be prevented at any cost from obtaining nuclear weapons.
So there you have it, the latest in a poll you will not hear about unless you go to the Investors Business Daily, a wonderful newspaper.
A Gallup poll out.
This is the one that will get widespread printing.
Many Americans harbor negative feelings or prejudices against people of the Muslim faith.
You will hear all of this, and it certainly is not the story.
The story is not the Muslim faith.
The story is, are we waking up to the Islamic fascism that the president discussed yesterday, and are we prepared as a nation, as the lone superpower of the West, to stand against it, even if it means we'd rather be right than popular?
Even if it means the French don't like us and Lamon has bad editorials, even if it means that we're going to have to get a coalition of the free and the willing to once again, as we did in World War II, forget about world opinion and concentrate on victory, because the alternative is the extinction of our way of life and our very life indeed.
I'm Roger Hedchock, infra Russia and Bob, back after 20.
Under fire in his own country by a large majority of Israelis, the Prime Minister of Israel has ordered now a ground offensive into Lebanon.
The ceasefire is not going to work because basically it was a request for the surrender of Israel, and that ain't going to happen.
We'll have more on that.
Eric in Fargo, North Dakota.
We've got about a minute.
Eric, go ahead.
Hi, Roger.
Say with one of the failed bombers being a white convert, something that really caught me off guard, and I was wondering if that could possibly be a trend going forward.
And is it true the ACLU wants to set up terrorist recruiting booths next to our armed services?
No.
But, Eric, I tell you, we had the Richard Reed, who was the white in your vocabulary, the white British convert to Islam.
The common denominator here is radical Islam.
It is not white, black, or it's not race.
The common denominator is, do you believe that killing infidels is God's command?
If you do and you believe he's going to meet you on the other side, Allah is going to meet you on the other side with 79 virgins, then you're in the group I don't like and we need to defeat you.
That's where I'm coming from, Eric.
By the way, Joe Lieberman speaks out.
The success of the NSA intercepts.
Lots coming up.
