Muslims aren't just more prone to crimes like murder or rape. Their particular type of treachery has forced us to blow trillions of dollars on defense and institute a permanent surveillance state, not to mention the billions of wasted hours standing in line at airports.<br /><br /><br />Until Islam and the West come to terms, it is best to leave them where they are, and let them evolve, if they so choose.

Needless to say by "good" I'm not talking about her writing.<br />My God she even stumbles on sinister assertions:<br /><i> Rooting it out will require more than tighter security or better immigration laws.</i><br />Gee, I wonder what the Kathy Lee Gifford of punditry has in mind for "rooting out evil" that actually goes beyond our current security measures. <br />Did she actually contend the Borat brothers were "clueless"?

The fact that nations with one dominant demographic group don't have problems like this seems lost on the 'diversity is our strength' crowd. Though the USA was no Japan in 1965, it was a lot more homogeneous.
