Krauthammer attacks Geert Wilders
What he [Geert] says is extreme, radical, and wrong. He basically is arguing that Islam is the same as Islamism. Islamism is an ideology of a small minority which holds that the essence of Islam is jihad, conquest, forcing people into accepting a certain very narrow interpretation [of Islam].There really isn't much difference between Islamism, Islamofascism, and other takes on the same root verbs and connotations. And implying that Geert is an extremist is trivializing the many problems already at hand. Jihad Watch takes apart the awful Krauthammer's stupidity much better than I could expect to do. Dumbell Krauthammer also says:
The untruth of that is obvious. If you look at the United States, the overwhelming majority of Muslims in the U.S. are not Islamists. So, it's simply incorrect. Now, in Europe, there is probably a slightly larger minority but, nonetheless, the overwhelming majority are not.Oh really? Robert Spencer takes that flawed statement apart too, but I'll say for now that Krauthammer should consider the findings of this old poll, which is still well worth considering. Yet it should be no surprise that a columnist who works for the Washington Post would be willing to stoop to this kind of foolishness. For heaven's sake, I wish Krauthammer would just retire already and stop spewing out this kind of propaganda!
