Colin Powell's Comments

Submitted by Terrall Putnam (United States), Nov 19, 2002 at 10:42

I was outraged this morning to hear a speach made by Colin Powell who is again standing up in support of Islam and Muslims, while browbeating any American who suspects them.

He wants to protect innocent Muslims and Islamic people which is fine, but will not say a harsh word against Militant Islam which is of course the source for terrorists.

I know of Middle Eastern people in this country who are not Muslims and need protection, but to say "anyone who suspects a Muslim of possible links to terrorism is a Bigot", is ridiculous. Who will dare to report suspicious activity if that is the rule?
