Two topics dominate the show today: the increasing Muslim influence in Europe and America and the Fort Hood shooting.
“It was very wrong, very wrong. Very sad. His behavior was not at all Islam. He hurt all Muslims.” — Syed Ahmed Ali, an Imam at the mosque where killer Nidal Malik Hasan regularly prayed. (source)
“I don’t know his intentions. I don’t know what he was thinking. I won’t condemn another Muslim.” — Duane Reasoner, 18, someone that viewed Hasan as a religous mentor.
We need MORE muslims like the imam that actually publicly stated that Hasan’s actions were wrong. Conversley, we need to closely watch all muslims like this idiot that cannot find it in his heart to condemn a man that just killed 13 people and injured 20 more.

When I have wiped my tears away, I have something to be happy and proud of. Mousavi may have lost this fraudulent election, but people will not forget him, and what is more they will draw a line between him and what he represents and this government.
George McCleod was abducted and beaten while covering the election in Iran. What was Obama doing? Playing golf. What was Biden saying? The usual verbal diarrhea he is known for. Here is video of an Iranian protester being beaten to death. Here is a sample of McCLeod’s experience:
For a few terrifying hours Sunday, I was mistaken for an anti-government protester, giving me a glimpse into how the hundreds arrested over the weekend are being treated by authorities in a system where dissidents are known to “disappear” and not be seen again for months.
