On Radical Islam, Fight or Flight?
 
The six Muslim imams who are suing U.S. Airways for being removed from a plane have now expanded their litigation to include other passengers who reported their suspicious activities to the crew. Using the culture of political correctness against us, the imams are pushing the suit in an effort to scare Americans away from reporting future security risks. Attorney Mark Behrens says the case, which has been aided by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), has serious implications for national security. "If such a suit could proceed, it would have a chilling effect on the willingness of people to provide information that authorities need to act when people are engaged in wrongdoing." The imams' strategy is a familiar one. Muslim extremists have paved the road to acceptance in Europe by playing the "discrimination" card to their advantage. Now they've turned their attention to America where they hope to topple our objections to radical Islam by using tolerance as a means to induce passivity. Author Mark Steyn points to the European cartoon controversy as an example of how Muslims have used what he calls "politically correct victimology" as cover for their true agenda. In his book America Alone, he suggests that legitimate fears of terrorism have become almost secondary to concerns of appearing intolerant or discriminatory. "[It's] a fine example of how the progressive mind's invented psychoses leave it without any words to describe real dangers."
