"Muslim Opinion" Be Damned

[mosquewatch]

To listen to most of our foreign-policy commentators, the biggest problem facing America today, six years after 9/11, is the fact that many Muslims are mad at us.

"Whatever one's views on the [Iraq] war," writes a New York Times columnist, "thoughtful Americans need to consider . . . the bitter anger that it has provoked among Muslims around the world." In response to the Abu Ghraib scandal several years ago, Ted Kennedy lamented, "We have become the most hated nation in the world, as a result of this disastrous policy in the prisons." Muslim anger over America's support of Israel, we are told, is a major cause of anti-American terrorism.

......

All of this evades one blatant truth: the hatred being heaped on America is irrational and undeserved. Consider the issue of treatment of POWs. Many Muslims are up in arms about the treatment of prisoners of war in Iraq and at Guantanamo--many of whom were captured on battlefields trying to kill Americans. Yet these same Muslims are silent about the summary convictions and torture--real torture, with electric drills and vats of acid--that are official policy and daily practice throughout the Middle East.

According to the 'logic' of these liberal journalists, if America is hated for whatever reason, everything that happens is America's fault!!

So I guesssince Ted Bundy hated all young, pretty women it was the fault of young, pretty women that they got killed.

If America is hated for being free-market, democratic with an armed population...............

 .......then perhaps the liberals think America should be a socialist dictatorship with a disarmed population. HMMMMMM?
