Islamist's impudence make me feel humble

Dear Dr Pipes, By now, as I write this message, the world has heard the disgraceful insult that representative Rashida Tlaib hurled on President Trump.I will not repeat it here because I do not use her kind of language but the readers can always search and find out what she said.

What can cause a person to use this kind of language? At the minimum it could just be one woman's anger at her circumstances. But I think Rashida Tlaib profanity also describes the microcosm and macrocosm of Islamist's behavior. When your cause gets bigger than civil rules of conduct and ethics, you become capable of doing extreme behaviors. And, in the case of Islamists, the cause --defense and propagation of Islam-- always supersedes the accepted standards of good conduct. How could a woman refer to the President of the nation in those profane terms? How can wars involving Islamists involve most heinous crimes? Some people will say that these two things are unrelated. I say they both are related and are cause by extreme righteousness that plagues the Islamists.

Forget about impeaching President Term. Can we impeach Rashida Tlaib for unparliamentary conduct? We should
