John stewart had a great piece on that last night. When the women called Obama a muslim and MCCain said no no he is a decent family man. What????????? Muslims aren't good family men.

Personally I don't want dems to go PC on the Muslim population though. I think its a losing hand. I travel frequently to Europe and the fact is, this group (the Muslims) is causing a lot of problems everywhere. Its not a race issue like the west is used to, where people look different but have the same values. Its widely differing values. If the dems appear soft on this group it will hurt in the long run. Just don't discuss it. Sorry but when you see it in EU, it is frightening.

A Catholic priest in Germany once said: "When the Nazis came for the Jews, I did not speak since I am not Jewish. And when the Nazis came to get the Communists, I did not speak since I am not a Communist. And when the Nazis came for the blacks, I did not speak since I am not black. When then Nazis came for the Moslems, I did not speak since I am not a Moslem. When the Nazis finally came for the the Catholic Priests, there was no one left to speak for me."
