Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power
It's time to tell them all that if they don't like it here, to go to back to hell. Isolate and contain. Let them fight their own battles. We cannot fix Islam, and Islam cannot tolerate us.
Let's focus on America again - on our children. Our future. Our economy. Our healthcare. Our environment. Our development. Our security. We can, once again, be the great nation we once were.

The real purpose behind the Flying Imam publicity blitz
As I have pointed out many times now, the main purpose of the USAirways Imam Rage incident is to help push through legislation to outlaw religious profiling in airports, so that no matter how suspiciously a Muslim is behaving, officials will be able to do nothing. Now Katherine Kersten, who is doing marvelous work on this case for the Star-Tribune, has more on this as the goal of the whole incident. None other than the slick Mahdi Bray tells the Iranian Qur'an News Agency that Muslims want "new, broad-sweeping legislation that will extract even larger financial and civil penalties for any airline that participates in racial and religious profiling."
"Katherine Kersten: The real purpose behind the imam publicity blitz," by Katherine Kersten in the Star Tribune:
On Dec. 1, a curious report on the grounded-imams incident at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport appeared on the website of the Iranian Quran News Agency. The report quoted extensively from Madhi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation. The foundation is the American arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, "the world's most influential Islamic fundamentalist group," according to the Chicago Tribune.
Bray's initial statement about the incident had an all-American, see-you-in-court ring. He demanded "large financial compensation for the imams," adding, "We want US Airways and any other airline displaying this type of behavior against Muslims to be hit where it hurts, the pocketbook."
The report echoed statements made by the imams themselves. Omar Shahin, their spokesman, has portrayed the incident in a way that's consistent with a lawsuit and a public relations offensive. He's called for a Jesse Jackson-style boycott of US Airways, and applied classic civil-rights rhetoric to the incident: "This is prejudice; this is obvious discrimination," the Star Tribune quoted him as saying. "I cannot change the color of my skin," he told Newsweek.
But the report on the Iranian website, which has appeared on a variety of Muslim websites worldwide, had a larger primary focus. After the imams incident, it quoted Bray as saying Muslims want "new, broad-sweeping legislation that will extract even larger financial and civil penalties for any airline that participates in racial and religious profiling."
The report is optimistic that Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress, will lend his support to new legislation. Ellison, it says, has expressed his opposition to "such racial and religious profiling." Ellison, through a spokesman, declined to comment.
