Why not talk to experts, instead of adding fuel to the "fear fire?"
On the 9/18 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, Michael Medved stated that the "crucial issue" of whether "the violence and the bloodshed and the horror and the misery and the disgusting behavior throughout the Muslim world is based upon some problems within Islam itself" was "the subject of my conversation with the president of the United States on Friday, when I had the privilege of sitting with him in the Oval Office for 90 minutes." Medved was apparently referring to a reported meeting held by President Bush at the White House, which also included conservative radio hosts Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Mike Gallagher, and Laura Ingraham. Boortz wrote about the event in a 9/16 posting to his weblog. Medved asserted that "there are problems with Islam, as a faith, as a culture, as a vision of civilization, or actually a vision of barbarism in the world" and that these "problems go very, very deep."

I would think that the President would have more important things to do with his time...but hell, this is Bush we're talking about.

It's important to hear these viewpoints because in America, liberalism has led people to be afraid to ever speak out against a minority group. You can insult Americans, whites, men, and straight people as much as you want, but as soon as you as much as imply there is anything wrong with women, gays, non christians, or non americans you are labeled as a hate spewing bigot. It's good to see that some people still speak their minds and don't let this deter them and let it be known that Islam has been responsible for some very bad things.

It's necessary to wake people up to the horrible danger our enemy represents. I think it's an important and productive way to spend an hour and a half.
