Al Qaeda–racist? Really? Apparently, the Obama administration has just now reached this conclusion, nearly nine years after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. ”In short,” one administration official explained, “al Qaeda is a racist organization that treats black Africans like cannon fodder and does not value human life.” Yes, al Qaeda does not value human life. And yes, it is happy to treaty people like cannon fodder. My question is: what are people doing in the administration who are just now realizing the truly despicable nature of this organization? Should they really be serving in important national security positions? Rarely do I find myself speechless but this is one of those times.

Tom, the Obama administration is addressing a specific situation in Africa where al Quaeda is trying to spread into parts of “Black” Africa (as opposed to Arab Africa). The Obama administration is simply pointing out to Black Africans that the Arab al Quaeda does in fact have a long record of racist behavior towards Black Africans. Do you have a problem with this?
Yeah, and I’m not really sure what you meant by “speechless” since you left a whole comment about this. Didn’t you learn anything this week about taking things out of context to make yourself look and feel fabulous!
