Talk:Sudden Jihad Syndrome

Merge Discussion

But *GASP* don't you see how it's Liberal Bias to not have a dedicated article on this term that basically only one guy on Earth uses? Wikipedia deleted it, and it's something a conservative did, thus, we must have it! ;)

Okay, seriously speaking, as I've said in two places so far, get rid of it. Merge it, delete it, anything. The majority of sources inside the article doesn't even mention the term (so far, I've only seen that guy using it, and somebody in an editorial mentioned in passing that the guy used it), Original Research to the max, and the term is incredibly broad to the level of being useless and slightly offensive.

Conservative or not, we don't need a dedicated article about every new term somebody came up with. --Jenkins 15:01, 18 January 2008 (EST)

I agree with Jenkins' sentiment if not his tact. I think the article should be deleted, but I would be ok with it being merged and edited to comply with the Conservapedia:Guidelines. HelpJazz 15:11, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Sorry, but I already brought this up on Andy's talk page and the Examples of Bias talk page, and those posts were ignored. (You know how that feels...) However, I admit that I'm not wasting much tact on something that is effectively just racism (or at least an open invitation for it). Quoting our dear, "neoconservative academic" himself:

“

Individual Islamists may appear law-abiding and reasonable, but they are part of a totalitarian movement, and as such, all must be considered potential killers.

”

What's the next step then? Since they "must be considered potential killers", let's... oh, I dunno... stuff them all into prisons or a ghetto so they can't commit Sudden Jihad? Oh, and make them wear a special badge around their arm so we're warned... *whistles innocently*

Here, a bonus, from the same City Journal article:

“

The first and most straightforward thing is not to allow any more Islamists into the country. Each Islamist who enters the United States, whether as a visitor or an immigrant, is one more enemy on the home front. Officials need to scrutinize the speech, associations, and activities of potential visitors or immigrants for any signs of Islamist allegiances and keep out anyone they suspect of such ties. (...) Resident Muslim aliens who reveal themselves to be Islamist should be immediately expelled from the country before they have a chance to act. Citizen Islamists will have to be watched very closely and without cease.

”

Yep, I can feel the love. Let the racial profiling begin! Let's monitor everybody for thoughtcrime Islamist trends! I'll accept being called a liberal for opposing this open hate. --Jenkins 15:37, 18 January 2008 (EST)
