Yale Daily News

Glad to hear that Rick has found something productive to do with all his free time now...

"FDR had the courage to offend people and called the Germans Nazis, and the Italians Fascists."

Santorum believes this serves as precedent to authorize violent counter action.

Interesting.

The world calls Bush and Cheney fascists and Nazis. Does that give the world the right to attack the USA??

I'm concerned that he actually thought Yale would be concerned about Islamic fundamentalism. He should have known better.

Does the word “Judeo-Fascist” conjure up any images of the goat–gods of the Middle East targeting Palestinian women and children with American-made missiles from American-made helicopers and from American made F-16's for being within a 20 mile radius of the terrorist enemy?

How much is the land worth that was stolen from the Palestinians by the children of the goat-god? One trillion dollars, Nine Trillion dollars (the amount of American Federal debt that has accumulated in trying to keep the Israeli goverment from paying their eminent domain debts to the people who lost their land to the Judeo-Fascists and their goat-god.

If a goat–god wants to create a hyper-expressway through the land of the Cannanites, the children of the goat need to pay for their land if they are claiming eminent domain in the name of the Goat-God of Israel.

This is a Yale student newspaper, not a Harvard newspaper or the "Prince": we can solve the problems in the Middle East by determining the value of all the land of Israel at the time of 1948 [compounded at 6 percent interest, adjusted for inflation]. The children of the corn-god at Capital One want 22 percent for the student Visa loans, so this is not a bad pawnshop deal.

Once a price has been determined, we need to determine what percentage of the total amount should go to the Palestinians who lost their land by naked agression of the children of the goat-god. At least 85 percent, but on under 75 percent.

Richar - Muslims have attacked the US all over the world, and even here at home on 9/11 - where were you?

Mahoud - good point

Marv - what land was stolen from who? Jordan and Egypt? Talk about needing a history lesson. If Muslims invested as much in Palestine as say, America has, or as much as they do in Dubai, Palestine would be a beautiful place...unfortunately the only price the now-called Palestinian's is the death of all Jews...according to their own words...the pawn shop only has one buyer...Condi Rice, and she's a sucker

And #4 is a perfect example the people that liberals and Condi try to deal with. They, the Palestinians and Arab Muslims, despise Jews and Christians alike. The comments made by #4 show that no matter how much we grovel and beg, still the Islamo-fascists wait for us to destroy ourselves. They do not want peace or understanding, they want blood. The sooner the liberals and apologists among us understand that, the sooner we will be able to deal with them from a truthful base of reality.

I agree with #3's comment 100%. The snotty know-nothing who gave this quote:

"“I don’t think Rick Santorum is qualified to give us a lecture on the history of Islam,” Benjamin Chaidell ’11 said. “He oversimplifies the religion of Islam and the struggle against Islam as an ‘us vs. them’ phenomenon.” "

Where to start... well first off.. this know-nothing is not qualified to state that Santorum is wrong.

I heard Santorum give a lecture on Islam in the past.. the man understands the relevant parts and distinctions.

What so many know-nothings seem not to understand is that the doctrine of Jihad and the imperative to Islamize the whole planet and by force if necessary IS A COMMON DOCTRINE in all schools of Islam.

Just like there's a bazillion protestant denominations, for the most part they all share a common core... and in Islam, Jihad is one of the common cores.

This notion that Islam is so complexly fractured is the oversimplification.

What is true is that Muslims, since they're people, run the full spectrum of fever , belief, interest, adherence , etc.. to these doctrines.

That's not the point.. the Jihad doctrine is there in Islam... waiting for some Muslims somewhere to pursue it as Allah commands.

If I hear one more idiot direct the "Islam is peace" platitude to a critic of Islam, I’m going to explode.

Oh Apologist for Islam: you don’t need to convince us Non-Muslims that Islam is peace... you need to convince the ever-growing number of Muslims who fully accept this hadith from Bukahri:

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25; Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle was asked, "What is the best deed?" He replied, "To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then asked, "What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, "To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause."

And then there was this quote in the article:

“There are people who use Islam to justify violence and there are strains of Islam that are antithetical to western civilization, but [Santorum] is wrong on the question of how deal with those groups,” Matthew Ellison ’10 said. “Our challenge is to convince others that the liberal values we hold dear are worth subscribing to. When we use the rhetoric of war we are pushing the moderates away from us and emboldening the extremists.”

Another genius. Obviously he doesn’t understand that according to Islam, all man-made laws , forms of government, etc.. is a direct offense against Allah.

Per Islam, Allah has demanded that all humans live according to Allah's will and by the behavioral example set by Mohammed.

Please Matthew.. dazzle us with your skills of persuasion as you attempt to convince an Imam who believes that the US Constitution is a grave sin against Allah that liberal ideas are really cool!

Try to tell them that these two imperatives (one from the Koran and one Hadith (Bukhari)) don't mean what they say.. these are the marching orders given to Muslims for all time to accomplish...

Koran

8:39. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone [in the whole of the world].

Hadith

Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24; Narrated Ibn Umar: Allah's Apostle said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah."

Islam is a declaration of war against the world, and what do the college students say? "Oh we need to be sensitive to them" No, I don’t think so. They need to understand we will not submit.

it's shameful how stupid and arrogant college students are. The Left is destroying the ability to think. So wrapped up in some bizarre subjective way of thinking.

Some of the audience disputed that Islam is a violent religion. But there is this assumption they seem to have that all religions must be good. This is a faulty assumption. For instance, the Astecs had a religion where they tore out the hearts of victims for sacrifices. Is that "good"?

Mohammad invented Islam, and now a billion fools believe the religion he invented. If he says "die for Allah", they take that as direct from God.

Vince P: There are theological arguments on both sides as to whether Islam should be interpreted as a violent religion or not. But when it comes to actual behavior, no one can deny that Muslims are far more violent than Christians; this is the more apparent today than ever, but was also true earlier in history.

John Sorel: Ironically, the sort of people who argue that Islam is a "Religion of Peace" are usually the same people who are bashing Christianity for being oppressive, paternalistic, anti-homosexuality, etc.

I am disappointed that this otherwise fine article failed to remind its readers that Santorum is not only a former senator, but also the namesake of the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes, but not always, the byproduct of anal sex (spreadingsantorum.com). I mean, come on now. This is Yale, after all.
