For a long time now, blogdaughter Michele of Letters From New York City has been battling recurring bouts of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which limited her posting mostly to short notes assuring those who care about her that she was, indeed, all right.

However, it looks like she's had some good days recently, since she posted a piece that shows the sort of fiery passion that made me decide to adopt her in the first place.

This time, she's a little... disappointed... in a recent PBS production that whitewashes the terrorist threat and attempts to shift blame over to the US. But Michele scrapes off the pretty white coating and looks at the blackness beneath:

...the Salafist Muslim movement wants Americans of all faiths and in particular Christians and Jews worldwide dead and with us our religious ideology. Yes folks, they want us dead, all of us! You, me, and every member of your extended family. They want us dead as nails, dead as wood. They want Salafist to rule the world for more than the 1000 years they already did during the middle ages.

For these Salafists, the only true religion is their particular brand of Islam. American, and European moderate Muslims are expendable as they do not observe Salafism, and anyone who does not follow their beliefs will be put to death! These are Not my words, it is theirs. Salafism does not endorse democracy or democratic principles, instead it endorses itÂ’s own brand of totalitarianism which goes against everything we are trying to achieve in Iraq.

I hadn't heard of the Salafists until I read this piece. Now that I have heard of them, I'm a little pissed at the Legacy Media for not bringing this to my attention earlier.
