"We" need more of that attitude in my opinion. Good on him!

It should not have been directed toward muslims. It should have been directed toward every single person on this planet, who does not appreciate freedom. But good for him.

Good point, SPC Stewart Smith. I guess with the recent Islamic terror attacks in Paris and the fact that he's a Muslim himself, he felt moved to speak out, to Muslims in particular.

I applaud for the very brave comment he made. He will probably have a plethora of life threatening comments and the religious apologists will come out and call him a racist because that's the new thing to do when someone says something that may offend you.

Well, CPT (Join to see), all I can say is surprisingly bold talk! Also, quite surprising public language from such a highly placed public official.

I agree, at first I was like, "about time" but I think he could've sent the same message without the language. I think it would've been a more effective method.

Without the language, it wouldn't have been spread around nearly as much, so the message had a larger chance of getting lost in the news, because it wasn't any sort of inflammatory. I think it was a very calculated and great move!
