From Thomas Sowell at Townhall.com, a report on Nancy Pelosi and her delegation’s ‘mission’ to the Middle East. And who is that in the photograph over her left shoulder, but none other than Congressman Keith Ellison, the only known Muslim member of Congress. Notice I say ‘known’, because the vote is still out on you-know-who.

A recent posting on Jihad Watch by Robert Spencer puts an idea into clear perspective that is not talked about nearly enough: the fact that until followers of Islam, especially those with American citizenship, actively speak-out and act-out against terror, there is no reason to pretend that we are not at war with Islam itself. After all, despite the best efforts of the American government to prove otherwise, Islamists will always say the United States has declared war on Islam because it gives energy to the waves of Islamic terrorists across the globe to somehow make them feel like victims of the “Imperialists.”
On Jihad Watch I have just been tossing estimates of world Muslim population figures back and forth with a few people and then it dawned on me: “What in the world does any of that matter if we still do not even recognize Islam as the enemy of peace, prosperity and freedom in this nation and around the world? Why do we fear to point the finger at the real menace? Are we just so attached to our own selfish lives that we have forgotten that it is sacrifice and adherence to values and truth that got this great nation this far? Have we now lost the will to fight evil to such a degree that we wander around and dare not even speak its name?”
