Am I a fear mongerer?

Or racist, or something else entirely.

I watched Glenn Beck's show last wednesday called the The Extremist Agenda. The question I ask is "Is this the what the Muslims see and think?". If you want to see something horrible, scroll ahead to the 22:00 minute mark and start watching for about a five minutes. There are even cartoons at the 25 minute mark, for those of you that prefer your indoctrination animated.

Of course, any groups that believe that The Protocols of the Elders of Zion are not entirely rational in the first place. The Protocols have been exposed as a fake many times but some people (including Henry Ford) still claim they are authentic.

I think I am rational and believe there is a threat from Middle East extremists and other terrorists. I think that the US invasion of Iraq was a bad idea (I have flip flopped several times on this issue) but have gone back to the idea that it has weakened the US support for Afghanistan (which should be the first job) and has allowed Iran and Korea to develop their own nuclear programs.

Unlike others though, I think al-Jazeera broadcasting in North America is a great idea. We need to see on a daily basis how Muslims think and see. They do get our programming (CNN, BBC and the like) so we should be seeing theirs.

I promised someone that I would write a breakdown of the four main Liberal leadership candidates but I keep getting too ranty regarding Ignatieff and I just don't care enough about Kennedy. Soon, though, I promise I will.
