The Battle of Language Continues On...

Perhaps this article is conveniently looking at some worst case scenarios but I think that's a sane response, particularly considering our current administrations willingness to "bend" the rules a bit.

If you interpret it to one extreme. It is meant to defend America from people like this...
Omar Ahmad, the co-founder of CAIR, has made no bones about his desire for Islamic hegemony. He once stated,
“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”
Then, Ahmad attended a secret meeting at a Philadelphia hotel where Moslem leaders allegedly plotted to disguise money given to the terrorist group Hamas as charitable donations (these proceedings were surreptitiously recorded by the FBI as part an investigation). One of the other attendees, Shukri Abu-Baker, who was recently tried in a federal terror-funding case, said,
“I swear by Allah that war is deception . . . . We are fighting our enemy with a kind heart . . . . Deceive, camouflage, pretend that you’re leaving while you’re walking that way. Deceive your enemy.”
Ahmad then chimed in, likening the ruse needed to deceive infidels to a head fake in basketball:
“He makes a player believe that he is doing this while he does something else. I agree with you. . . . Politics is a completion of war.”
Moreover, reports the website Anti-CAIR,
“Omar Ahmad was captured on FBI surveillance tapes at Hamas meetings in the United States during 1993 explaining that the IAP [Islamic Association for Palestine] could not, for political reasons, admit its support for Hamas, and then discussing how the Hamas agenda could be cloaked and advanced.”
Another CAIR official, Executive Director Nihad Awad, has been more forthcoming. He once said plainly,
“I am in support of the Hamas movement.”
First off I'm really starting to dislike Anonymous posters, I'm trying to find a way to purge that feature from this site.
Please if you want to post something so topically evocative then at least have the courtesy of providing your name.
And sorry, but your missing the point. The issue here is about language and the interpretation of language. To the articles point, when these vague language/laws are placed in the hands of any administration with a low tolerance for different viewpoints, the result "could" be the limiting or even elimination of our civil liberties.
The point of this article is NOT about WHY our liberties should be (possibly) reduced. Your using a straw man argument

And being these Islamic/fascist states are built on the elimination of personal liberties I would think that you'd be more inclined to protect your own?
These straw man arguments work great on Michele Malkins boards. Perhaps you should try there?

Well yeah, but I'm not quite sure does G W B give rats ass about art in any form. But what's the point put people like Zach dela Rocka into jail. No point. So... uh.. I still think that law is gonna get wrong people in trouble. It's crazy readin and lookin stuff about America and the war on error and all that stuff. It seems pretty stupid and pointless and crazy out here. I'm sad for every single person that has to die because of GWB. That's the real fucker.
Oh it moved here. Cool. I thought GWB already deleted my comment.
Anonymous posters are weird.
They may be weird but removing the 'Anonymous' post is what Hugo Chavez does. Only hear what you want to hear.
That's a retarded comparison. Hugo Chavez "may" have different intentions than a bands Blog comments?
Admittedly this issue is more of a pet peeve on my end.
"The Well" uses the no anonymous login and it works nicely.
MBO - THE HUGO CHAVEZ OF PROG-POP
hahaha.
NOT!
Who is this political go usa anonymous guy anyway? Bruce Wayne of the internet?
I bet he don't know how to play bass and drink beer... AT THE SAME TIME!
