Notorious Islamophobe. The organization she runs is aggressively anti-Islam.

No idea where she got her numbers ("all intelligence services") but Gallup says the numbers are more like 7% extremist, 93% moderate.

http://www.gallup.com/press/110521/Mode ... World.aspx

Her notion that we're at war with 300 million extremists is ludicrous. It ignores the difference between a belief and an act, first of all.

Her examples, in spite of being said very loudly, are irrelevant here. Anti-Nazi, everyday Germans should have risen up against the Nazis? Exactly HOW? They slaughtered political dissidents. And what were the numbers there? She offers none of those things and makes every atrocity an equivalent of the others, ignoring every other factor than right vs. wrong.

I admit, the loud woman probably "won" over the meek Muslim woman at the Heritage Foundation gathering to discuss Benghazi. She would've been clowned in a venue that wasn't insane to begin with.

That ladys rant made the panel shows over here - the consensus being that she was very articulately (but rather shouty) delivering bullshit, as very little of what he was huffing about was factual, ESPECIALLY her "stats".

So what did you like about it, Roadhead?

She also treats that woman like a piece of shit, with obvious disdain. Her implication is that people like her let the holocaust happen.

Meanwhile, all she does is spout rhetoric. I don't see her over there fighting Islamic extremists.

What's alarming is that people can be suckered in by that approach - just say it loud enough, appear to shout down your opponent and cite wholly fictitious "stats" to reinforce the smokescreen, and the sheepy element will line up and pledge their support.

All it takes is a little research to debunk - not a single one of her alleged "stats" were real. But then she's aiming directly at the demographic who don't do things like verify anything "because she sure sounded convincing to me". Are people really still dumb enough to accept things at face value in 2014? It looks like they are, and that's fucking demoralizing.

Wake up.
