There are a few things that we need to get straight and say out loud

RadicalIslam.org

First of all, an overwhelming majority of terror attacks since 9/11 have been performed by radical Muslims. Second of all, no one has the right to use the excuse of religion to cause physical bodily harm, or threaten any other individual.

There is no reason why these two things are politically incorrect to acknowledge. These are simple facts which must be agreed upon by those of us who embrace western values.

The past few weeks we were faced with another failed terrorist attack. Yet some of our leaders, particularly Attorney General Eric Holder, the individual who sets the tone for our system of justice, has shown he will do everything in his power to avoid using the words "radical Islam." Heaven forbid he calls a spade a spade. Then we saw South Park's 200th episode which mocked the ridiculous level of intolerance held by radical Muslims. As a backlash to a death threat that the creators have received, many groups have joined together to support "Everybody Draw Muhammad Day," this Thursday, to show that radical Muslims do not control our freedom of speech. To raise awareness about the importance of freedom of speech and how radical Muslims have crossed the line, we have created an important video that everyone should see.

We encourage you to forward it to your friends and family and get the message out. We will not tolerate intolerance. We support creativity not violence. Encourage individuals who are offended by other videos to make their own videos, write in blogs, and write to newspapers, because that is freedom of speech. And that is the American way.
