A Must Read
Friend of the Blogway, Always on Watch, has written a brilliant post that I hope everyone checks out. It's called Differing Definitions and clearly makes sense of why the Islamists can say one thing, and we naive Americans can think they mean something else. This is a very important post. Please go read it. Now.

Always doesw have an excellent blog.
AOW did a very good job of defining what Islam consider as 'innocents' and 'peace'. Thanks for linking to it.
Yep, an excellent post.
Thanks for the tip.
As always, you keep us up to the mark with what we all need to know.
Well done!
Esther,
Thank you for announcing my article.
I worked hard on this particular piece. I had not planned to post for a while, but yesterday morning I couldn't let go of the thoughts rolling around in my mind--namely, that we who love the ideals of freedom are being scammed by tricky language. We're in a serious war here, and the enemy is trying to lull us into believing there is no war: say one thing but mean another.
Didn't Hitler do the same thing? The complacency of other nations allowed him to kill millions.
Yesterday's post will stay up for several days.
Glad you all are checking it out. :)
AOW -- you're so welcome. Great job!
"Didn't Hitler do the same thing? The complacency of other nations allowed him to kill millions."
Exactly.
complacency?
More like the complicity, I'd say, including the US who turned back shiploads of refugees fleeing Germany, and the Ukrainians who willingly joined Hitler's SS and the Vichy French who rounded up and shipped off thousands and thousands to the death camps and the Christian Poles who reported their Jewish neighbors and the Greeks and the Italians and the Arabs and the......
Need I go on? Complacent, the world was NOT.
That was a terrific post, AOW. Thanks.
Mark,
Yes, complicity as well. Complacency from the general public, who didn't want to look at something evil and/or something which didn't directly affect them, and complicity on the part of those in authority.
Rory,
Yasser Arafat is the perfect example of doubletalk. He played the United States and Europe for a sucker. His ilk live on, though Arafat himself is gone.
Wasn't there some kind of push to bury him in Israel? That's not going to happen, is it?
Wow, great stuff happenin' over here. I got a short-term freelance job that started today and it's totally cutting into my blogging fun.
Rory, your comment on Arafat finally being of use had me LOL.
Great comments all...
Rory - Thanks. I have been wondering where Arafat is buried. So I can go piss on his grave the next time I'm in the Middle east.
But I'm not vindictive, really I'm not!
