And advancing Ruport Murdock WSJ opinion pieces in order to frame the airtime chat? That was a very special favor done by Todd.

" I think terrorism today has been co-opted to only apply when Brown Muslim men commit acts of mass murder"

This is simply not true.

When a person commits a terror attack and specifically identifies the reason for doing so being a result of a particular ideology. And when other adherents of that ideology take credit for financing and encouraging said attack also because of a perceived affront to that ideology, it is insane to not relate that ideology to the terrorist attack - even if the attackers are Brown Muslim men. A Brown Muslim man who commits acts of mass murder due to a perceived insult to their religious beliefs and with the support of those who feel their religious beliefs justify such an act can rightly be called terrorists. People shouldn't be afraid to do so in order to avoid castigation from folks like Iftikha.

Bush with his knee jerk patriot law and mass killing wars did the kick-off for the entire anti- 'a religion' mess.

Todd should be fired, he is a waste of air time.

All this whole cloth Muslim bashing here is shameful and disgraceful and just rotten lazy thinking.
