At the other end of the spectrum, Muslim extremists also have criticized Mr. Ramadan for being too American – a “House Muslim” as they call him. Just to give you some perspective, this group (of maybe two people and a blog) advocates the extermination of Israel, complain of American imperialism and warmongering in the Middle East and seek inspiration from Malcolm X who advocated the violent overthrow of the US government. Of course, they do all this from the comfort and safety of their homes in America.
As much as I hate to give airtime to either group, I just cannot resist the opportunity to invite the folks at Blue Ridge Forum to refocus their efforts and urge them to go after the really bad guys. Ramadan, despite a few missteps early in his campaign, certainly is no threat to anyone. If you really want to make a difference, BRF et al., go after the extremists that actively and expressly seek to do harm to the American way of life, not those good candidates who seek to preserve it.
