The 100 Greatest Catchphrases

TV Land has managed to put together the definitive list of the 100 Greatest Catchphrases from television over the decades. I can think of a few that were completely left off the list. I’m sure you can, too.

Give us your best forgotten television catchphrases…

Tell me again about those “moderate Muslims”

You know the ones - the “moderate” Muslims who secretly oppose the violence being done in their names

I have always assumed that it is fear of the reception shown by their co-Muslims that has kept these so-called “moderates” from actually speaking out. However, I have been assured that this is nonsense, and that they are “everywhere”.

One in Tulsa (here in the US) had this to say

I appeal to the Muslim youth in particular and Muslims of the world in general to rise up and start jihad against the killers of humanity and help the civilized world to bring these culprits to justice and prove that Islam is not a religion of hatred and aggression.

I appeal to the Muslim clerics around the world that, rather than issuing empty fatwas condemning suicide bombing, they should issue a fatwa for the death of such scoundrels and barbarians who have taken more than 4,267 lives of innocent people in the name of Islam and have carried out more than 24 terrorist attacks on civilian installations throughout the world. This does not include the chilling number of deaths because of such activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, which is well over 250,000.

I appeal to al-Zawahri and his band of thugs to hand themselves over to justice and stop spreading evil and killing innocent humans around the world in the name of Islam. Their time is limited and Muslims of the world will soon rise against them to apprehend them and bring them to justice.

Exactly the kind of message we should be hearing from Muslims that actually condemn the violence, isn’t it?

Can you guess what the response from the local Muslim community has been? Yup, you guessed it - promotion to imam, accolades from his co-religionists, and a free house for standing up and doing The Right Thing…

No, wait, he was actually excommunicated and his life - and the lives of his wife and four innocent children - have been threatened. (I thought I was talking about a Religion of Peace for a moment there...)

Keep them in your prayers, folks, because if this is what we can expect right here in the heartland, it’s gonna get bloody by and by…
