The Radio Equalizer blog is hot on the trail of left-wing talk radio bringing out the weirdest scenarios to shift the blame for the Fort Hood shooting onto the Islamophobic prejudice of the American people. Montel Williams is really starting to fit into the ludicrous Air America radio family: he suggested on Monday that the Fort Hood backlash against Muslims could be so great we would put Muslims in internment camps like the Japanese under Franklin Roosevelt:
WILLIAMS: We pulled something like this back in World War II when we decided to round up all Japanese Americans and put them in internment camps. This is something that I think before we can blink, the [anti-Muslim] rhetoric, Doc, could get out of hand. What do you think?
FRANK FARLEY, psychologist, Temple University: I agree totally. I mean, the possibilities of prejudice and racism and so on are incredible here. You know, we should be treating this as a unique incident and look at the factors involved in this very unique and specific incident, and not overgeneralize. Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. The idea that all Muslims are the same is ridiculous....
Everybody’s got their own personal qualities and individual differences and let’s just treat this asa very specific incident and try to figure out why this particular person did this particular thing.
WILLIAMS: Absolutely. No matter what it comes out to, at the end of the day, even if it comes out in the last five months and all his anxiety around his impending deployment, he decided his frame of reference was his religion and that was what was giving him, you know, the power within himself to make his stand, that doesn't mean that the religion is to blame.
FARLEY: Absolutely, it’s his interpretation of everything, and his interpretation [of Islam] may vary dramatically from his fellow Muslims.
Farley, a psychologist, is an all-purpose media quote machine on fear and panic and strange driving habits. It's funny how he's somehow academically qualified to agree with Montel's wildest whiplash-inducing paranoia.
What kind of rhetoric is Montel using? Shooting up a military base killing 13 people (14, counting an unborn child) is about Major Hasan finding in Islam "the power within himself to make his stand"? This is certainly not an occasion for goo-goo psychologist cliches. Montel is so afraid of a dramatic overreaction that he’s guilty of a dramatic counter-overreaction.

This isn't organised terror but homegrown muslim terror. The shooting at LA airport, DC sniper, etc. mostly terrorist sympathisers urged to action by their suspect religion. I thought our homeland security guys would be on to over the edge types like this Major but apparently PC trumps all.

Isn't FDR how the left spells God.
Are internment camps a good thing or a bad thing ?
Given:
If 'W' did it = Bad
Question:
If 'O' does what FDR did = ??????????
FDR
November 11, 2009 - 23:42 ET by ACWlike all presidents had ideas, policies, and programs that were exceptional and those that were utter failures.
The Japanese Internment was a national disgrace and will forever be a plight on his tenure in the White House.
His attempt to pack the courts was ridiculous and without merit.
His was human and subject to lofty ideas and blatant ignorance.
It was war
November 12, 2009 - 07:34 ET by FranksamI don't believe that the camps were a national disgrace. If you look backwards through the lens of today, the picture will be distorted. Americans were shocked and terrified following the attack on Pearl Harbor, and it was hardly a given that we would defeat Japan. FDR did a politically popular thing to help stabilize hysteria in America.
It is ironic that FDR and Lincoln stepped on constitutional rights harder than any other presidents, but are admired by liberals. Montel may turn out to be right about camps for Muslims, and it could be Obama who rounds them up. One shooter is not enough, but if and when Jihadists put up big numbers of American casualties, Muslims might need to grab their suitcases.
Everything that has happened before can happen again, and in fact, it already has, several times.
You can round them up if you want to.......

November 12, 2009 - 17:37 ET by tiredgal2I recall that FDR after WWII sat with the Russians and agreed to give them Poland and other countries that soon fell behind the Iron Curtain. The anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall was just this past week. How soon folks forget how that wall got there in the first place. Of course, today's young folks do not know the real history of the USA. The books are full of PC tripe.

Post WWII world
November 15, 2009 - 22:22 ET by UnsaneDan, those countries were given to the USSR because at that point it was fait accompli. And there was no way, IMHO, that the United States was going to keep 6 million men under arms just to march through the countries of Eastern Europe. Popular sentiment saw to that. Stalin had no popular sentiment to worry about; he just shot those who disagreed with him. Therein lies the rub.

November 15, 2009 - 22:19 ET by UnsaneThe Yalta Conference which divided up Europe for the next 44 years happened when FDR was VERY much still alive. So while he may not have lived to see the end of WWII, he most certainly played a part in shaping the post-WWII world.

November 12, 2009 - 17:26 ET by tiredgal2Blonde, I wondered too about Montel and his "ideas". I think he needed something to get him some attention. He had fallen off the radar and needed some dumb remarks to get him back on. He is a lost cause. As for those that would want to take over our country as they are trying in England. Pack up and send them away to their lands of origin. We have free speech, but what they are saying is tyranny. We are a free land, and I do not want it to change.
according to Montel

With the exception of the carriers that left Pearl earlier before the attack was carried out the positions of the US fleet was given to Japanese intelligence for the attack by these groups.

Let's just say I am not ultra critical of FDR for that decision.
Not Muslims
November 11, 2009 - 21:59 ET by slickwillie2001Would the democratics try something like the Japanese internment today? I don't think the Supreme Court would let them. FDR had somewhat cowed the Supreme Court during his reign. I think we are past that, and anyway if the democratics try to intern anyone, it will be conservatives, or global warming deniers, not muslims.

Montel, he was a lifelong muslim. This is the place to which his religion brought him, and still I wouldn't condone internment. However, I'm all for keeping a close eye on the lot of them. If that means profiling, so be it.

November 11, 2009 - 22:06 ET by Red JeepThanx, Montel, not a bad idea. Internment until the War on Terror is over. No Muslims allowed in the country until the War on Terror is over.
However any Muslims that want to leave the country can.

Yes, Americans are innocent until proven guilty.
While I agree with you on the issue of using profiling to be vigilant, not cruel---
There are those in this Country who get the screaming meemies over "profiling", because they feel that to profile a group is to pre-judge the members of that group, therefore it is prejudicial to that group, so how can Restless and matthewdean NOT see that the element of profiling puts at least a semblance of guilt before innocence.

There could be non-radical families raising their children, but there are also those that come to the mosques to recruit those same children for terrorism.
You can argue
November 11, 2009 - 23:03 ET by oldmanateeabout all the things that Montel and the professor have to say, but for me, the quote that iced the cake was ..."Unfortunately, we tend to overgeneralize all the time. "
Isn't that an overgeneralization?
Finish The War
November 11, 2009 - 23:05 ET by DoktorFrankenI'm going to make a fairly educated guess and state that if our government got real serious about finishing this war that the Death Cultists themselves declared upon the U.S. and had the FBI and other gov. agencies infiltrate every mosque in the country and actually prosecuted every person breaking laws (weapons, sedition, treason, planning to attack and kill Americans, etc.), it would pretty much clear out most muslims.
Just deport the non-citizens and imprison the rest. Of course, we can always hope that they resist arrest and it would solve all of those travel and domicile problems up front.
Oh, Montel, I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. Islam is not a religion. It's a cover, a scam, a dodge - and people living outside of reality cannot see that. I wonder if you, and all of the Leftist dweebs, could see it whilst they (muslims) are slicing open your throat as you make your LAST squealing, gurgling sounds - right before you die from their application of their ''religion''?
JMHO, you understand.

November 12, 2009 - 00:17 ET by Mitchell BlattThat's interesting, I never heard anyone in the media or our president say anything about Islamic terrorism, so I don't see why they would round up anyone.
Is that why FEMA created those Death Camps?

November 12, 2009 - 03:02 ET by Army Bratthat if there was gonna be backlash, it woulda happened the day after a bunch of radical muslims attacked America on 9/11?
Why would Americans, any Americans take this particular attack as the catalyst for the release of...oh...wait. The elitist sacks o' crap that yak it up on TV, look down on the general public, see us as hate filled, redneck morons, jsut waiting for an excuse to, "kill me some muslims".
Only muslims engage in that type of behavior. Consult history.
muslim cartoons=death on the streets.

November 12, 2009 - 03:56 ET by cocodrieThe war has been going on ever since Abraham ran off Hagar and Ishmael. We're not allowed to mention this because it's in the bible. besides it only flares up when these "peaceful" muslims decide to kill off some christians and jews.

Yes, and continued with
November 12, 2009 - 09:53 ET by misterbee241Yes, and continued with Jacob and Esau. Esau went off and became father of the Edomites which I understand are the ancestors of modern day Arabs. Jews and Muslims are still fighting over that Abrahamic birthright to this day. Isaac is the son of promise, Ishmael the son of bondage. The Muslims are in bondage to Allah.

Keep on keeping on...
November 12, 2009 - 03:22 ET by AnkharanNever seen so many sheep in my life with knee jerk reactions and hypocritical positions on events.
Anyone actually think the way this is being reported is a not plannedto evoke a response? If you do, you are dumber than the left actually thinks you are.
How about this... put the tag line "John Doe, Christian, murdered three."
Now before you all get up in arms about how that would not be a Christian, someone who did that, just stop and think, what Christians would do if the media reported it that way. Just stop for one moment and actually try and process that thought if it doesn't hurt your heads too much.
Do you not think that there would be protests? Outcry? Know why that would be so? Because... America is largely Christian-based if not bible thumpers, in name at least. Most people identify themselves as Christians when asked what religion they are (when the feel inclined to answer).
If you can think beyond the front of your nose ask yourselves what would happen in today's America if Muslim groups protested this Shooter being identified as a Muslim terrorist. That he wasn't a REAL muslim. Because there are groups doing just that. You just have to go outside of the USA to see it in the media.
They would be wrong. He is as much as a Muslim terrorist as any who strapped a bomb to themselves or shot people in the streets. Becuase he was a self-avowed Muslim.
Now stop and think for a minute, I know it hurts your heads. If that is true, that he is a Muslim because he said he is a Muslim, then.... Christians who murder are Chrisitans. Regardless if you think they are.
PersonallyI think that organized consolidated religion is the weapon humans will murder humanity with. It is easy to see... look at you all, frothing at the mouth at this Muslim murderer. I can see how it was sooo easy to whip up Christians in the early days to invade non-Christian lands. I can see how easy it is for Muslims to whip their little followers into a religious fervor as well. You and they are exactly alike with your religious bigotry. Funny too. Both religions are religions that worship the SAME god, The God of Abraham.
Nothing but sheeple, liberals and conservatives... no wonder America is in such a sorry state.
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for ALL, not just a few select people or groups. Equality under the law for ALL, not just a few select groups or people.
Good morning Ankharan
November 12, 2009 - 04:15 ET by cocodrieChristians and muslims don't worship the same god. Christians worship the God of Abraham, muslims worship allah the moon god of Mesopotamia.

Nothing alike
November 12, 2009 - 07:53 ET by CCsteelcityChristians and Muslims are nothing alike... maybe you should take a look at the BIBLE and then take a look at the Quran. Try the ten commandments on for size. A true christian knows "Thou shalt not kill". Quran teaches of killing "infadels" which is of the christian faith or atleast anyone NOT having faith in Allah/Muhammed.
Make sure you get your faiths straight before putting christians and muslims in the same sentence. Sounds to me your atheist and therefore have no right to the opinion of either faith.

November 12, 2009 - 08:32 ET by UnsaneNever seen so many sheep in my life with knee jerk reactions and hypocritical positions on events. I haven't seen someone so absolutely angry that organized religions exist in quite some time. Worse, you aren't just angry that organized religions exist - you're even angrier when you realize that yes, some people believe in them.
I have no faith whatsoever and find you to be an embarrassment.

You dont see Christians
November 12, 2009 - 09:51 ET by misterbee241You dont see Christians shouting "God is great" before killing someone. No real Christian would kill arbitrarily as the Koran calls for. No, Hasan is an evil Muslim no two ways about that. He could also be evil but he could not be a true Christian at the same time. Christians who murder are NOT Christians, period. Jesus never called on us to kill.
Ok, I've opened the door. Open fire at me if you please. I can hold my own.
Why am I even giving you the time of day with an answer - you'll just ignore it and revel in your bigotry anyway.

the difference, Ankharan, is...
November 12, 2009 - 12:01 ET by SouthJersey1953If a man commits a murder and he "happens to be" a Christian, that is a lot different from a man that kills "because" he is a Muslim, like the terrorist that killed at Ft Hood.
For you to try to equate the two is ridiculous.

Internment Camps
November 12, 2009 - 03:31 ET by HuapakechiPerhaps montel and his budies should read a history book or two before they start in on the breathlessly anticipated (barely possible) conservative backlash agianst all muslims. Didn't the internment camps come to being under a "liberal" Democrat administration? Or has FDR been transmorgified by liberal zampolits into an honorary Republican?
Incredible that they can't recall which political philosophy eschews logic and reason and favors emotional reaction.....
Have I missed the latest iteration of revisionist history, or are these liberals projecting what they would do on us hated and reviled conservatives?

November 12, 2009 - 07:31 ET by John WIIf there weren't so many articles being written about the Islamic faith, and so many of these "leaders" stating that they would love to bring down America, and to "muslimize" our country........which many do......it does tend to get people wondering.
Nobody likes to look over their shoulder. But, if someone who is of Muslim faith, decides to detonate a car bomb, on any street, in this country.......well...it could cause a problem......couldn't it?
Even those, who are of Islamic faith, are probably saying right now...."oh shit! some meathead is making it hard for alot of us......who love America......and don't want to cause problems......for anyone else!"
I would have thought...Montel...that in your Oprahesque way of thinking.......and your all knowing psycho-analytical thinking.......would be able to see that?

November 12, 2009 - 07:36 ET by MindsBiggerNow is the time to speak to your family, friends and neighbors about the media, academia, Hollywood, wealthy and political elites who have clearly chosen to side with the sworn enemy of our freedom. The Law of Unintended Consequences has once again shown the folly of a myopic view of real evil in the world. Open your eyes America because evil people have crept in among us and they will use the benefit of Political Correctness to further their grip in our lives until they can no longer be addressed as what they truly are, a rabid dog that must be stopped. Islam has been on the march for centuries to subdue with extreme malice and force any infidel that stands in the way of establishing a worldwide Islamic society ruled by Sharia Law. We have witnessed this destruction throughout the world and in our country. We can not allow the future of our once great country to be decided by pathetically weak individuals who think that by appeasing an enemy who has stated," We love death more than you love life" they can actually live in a peaceful coexistence with a group of people bent on their destruction!
I've said it before and
November 12, 2009 - 09:41 ET by misterbee241I've said it before and I'll say it again - liberalism is a mental disorder that totally rots the brain and short circuits any rational thought.
Make his stand? An evil coward walks into a room where he knows he's the only one armed and starts shooting? Not exactly Custer's Last Stand. The act of a craven traitorous coward. But then that's Islam isnt it?
I cant come up with a perjorative name bad enough to describe these two... whatever. It just really frosts me all the usual liberal suspects are coming to this guy's aid and comfort. I'm glad there was somebody at Ft Hood able and willing to shoot back.

We won't but might wish we had
November 12, 2009 - 09:49 ET by snaggletoothieThe very idea of internment is contrary to the current American zeitgeist. Montel and his hack psychologist are just out of touch. But if current trends continue we might one day wish we had instituted internment. I think the nearest modern Americans would get would be mass deportations and that only after much more provocation.
