I usually don't read her columns because I find it hard to believe that someone would think the thoughts she does, but this one was about airport securtiy. Because I was going out of town, I thought I'd give it a try. It turned out to be about the Muslim boycott of US Airways, and if Muslims would boycott every airline, we wouldn't need airport security. That's equal to the thoughts of Hitler about Jewish people! Someone needs to help this woman. Go to www.AnnCoulter.com to read the column, although it will probably be updated within a couple of days, so if you plan on reading it, do it now. Does anyone agree with me....or disagree?

Well, I was exaggerating with that one. Of course I would be frightened if I heard people chanting "Allah! Allah! Allah!" as an airplane was crashing. My point is that Ann is a total bigot by saying that all Muslims hate America.

I would not read her column
In fact, I would let the publisher know I was not buying their paper, nor supporting their sponsors as long as they print her column. As a firm believer in the first amendment, I say she has the right to speak, but I don't have to support it financially... and can take the additional step to boycott those who give her a platform...

You're wrong. Anne Coulter has never said all Muslims are terrorists; she's said all terrorists are Muslims. Which is true, if you consider people who break all the rules of their own religion yet continue to fancy themselves as followers of said religion to be followers of said religion. Which I don't. The way I see it, Osama bin Laden is no more a Muslim than Fred Phelps is a Christian. The point Ms. Coulter was making is that if there were never any more suspicious looking Arabs on airplanes, we wouldn't have to be so worried about people crashing them into skyscrapers. She's not calling for the banishment of all Muslims on airplanes; she's just making the point that we wouldn't be so fearful of it if that were the case. And I agree. Lie to yourself all you want; if I see an Arab sitting next to me on an airplane, I THINK TWICE. If you think otherwise, you're just blind.
And it's NOT equal to the thoughts of Hitler about Jewish people. Anne did not call for the genocide of Arabs and/or Muslims - you are PRESUMPTUOUS. Do you even understand what equality is? No, because if you did, you wouldn't have made that stupid point.

I don't see where Muslims boycotting airlines would have anything to do with Hitler and his treatment of the Jews. What airlines did the Jews overtake in the 40's and fly into buildings?
Do you feel that 80 year old grandmothers should be the ones who should go through grueling searches - wasting everyone's time doing that?

Once again I'm going to tell this story...
When I was younger, one day while walking in the village in NYC, there were these totally intimidating militant lesbians (I'm not assuming, they were actually a lesbian group) with shaved heads and combat gear (the works) standing in the street with HUGE graphic and discusting posters of aborted babies, screaming at people as they walked by about what abortion does and why its bad...Blah blah blah...
All they really managed to do was horrify people... And insult their own womanhood... The pictures were meant to make an impact, the shaved heads and screaming were all to make an impact... But all they really did, was draw attention to themselves and not their cause... That got lost in the show.
Ann Coulter has issues that cause her to be aggressive and incendiary and obnoxious...
She is a lesbian in combat boots holding up political signs and screaming in peoples faces with a truth everyone already knows but socially, no one wants to admit to themselves or deal with.
Now, I ask you... Why in the world would you, in turn... SEND people to read her column? That... is like sending pregnant teenagers looking for an abortion to the very same corner that the lesbian group is screaming on...
People never cease to amaze...

She's not saying that all Muslims hate America. She's saying that all of the terrorist that we're dealing with now are Muslims.

I read it and I didn't come away with that opinion that you came away with after reading it.
