It is Islam, stupid.

"Some crazy Muslims exist"? "microscopic percentage?" It is interesting that the Republican leadership and prominent conservatives became speechless as soon as the news leaked the religion of the terrorist. Besides Michael Savage, no one else dared to identify the perpetrator as a Muslim. However, the anti American leftist crowd was wishing that a "White middle aged man" was the one who tried to blow up the Times Square. Too bad, the reality was a hard disappointment for the anti America left, the terrorist happened to be from the religion of "peace" Islam.

After nine years of the tragic terrorist attack in New York, the left is unable to accept that the real enemy is Islam, as ideology, and that the terrorists just happen to be devoted followers of Allah, real and truthful followers of Islam, Mohammed and the Quran.

Why then the left are afraid to tell it like it is? Because they know that Muslims see America as oppressive, wicked and corrupted. Islam is a good partner of the left in their common hatred toward America. American media, which more accurately should be labeled as anti-American media, has failed again to tell the truth to the American people: that Islam is the source of violence and terrorism and Muslims should be closely scrutinized regardless of the protest of the anti- American left. "Good" Muslims are Muslims by name only, and the fact that this time was only one who tried to kill innocent people, it does not mean that he belongs to a "microscopic percentage."
