Fareed Zakaria: America's Resident Muslim Quisling

Fareed Zakaria: America's Resident Muslim Quisling

(The first part of this article is an excerpt from "An Immodest Proposal for Ending and Winning the War on Terror." It directly relates to recent comments and actions by Fareed Zakaria.)

“An immigrant from Mumbai, India, Fareed Zakaria is well-credentialed: editor of Newsweek International, bestselling author, television commentator, regular contributor to The New Republic and to the webzine Slate, and host of a weekly PBS program. A truly impressive resume’ indeed.

Zakaria is also a Muslim although that doesn’t seem to cast any doubt on his objectivity involving a war between the West and Islam even if he has repeatedly exhibited pro-Muslim sentiments.

Zakaria outlined his beliefs in an article, ‘Beyond Bush, What the World Needs Is an Open Confident America,’ He believes that wiretapping mosques in the United States would jeopardize the assimilation of Muslims. He derided Rep. Tom Tancredo’s idea that in the event Islamic terrorists strike the United States we ‘take out’ Mecca. He lauded then-Senator Obama’s approach that if we suffer nuclear attacks we should consult an emergency response manual and try to assemble a coalition to respond. Most astoundingly, he supported a policy of ‘resilience’ which presupposes nuclear attacks on our soil after which we can ‘bounce back from a disruption’ : http://tiny.cc/yw5yz

He also believes America “over-reacted” to 9/11: http://tiny.cc/iv0h2

Fareed Zakaria should be sat down and tutored in a few basic truths, however mean-spirited they may seem. First, Americans value human life, unlike Calcuttans, and Mumbains, and Muslims. Second, response delayed is no response at all and pausing to assemble a coalition following nuclear strikes on our soil would be an open invitation to repeated attacks. Third, a nuclear attack is not simply a ‘disruption’ such as a work stoppage by New York City or Mumbain taxi drivers.


Mr. Zakaria may be an excellent journalist but, if he truly believes all he writes, he hasn’t learned much about his adoptive country.

Barbarians can be very nasty people. . .
