Terrific video of Steven Emerson delivering one of the best live come-backs you could imagine to Edina Lekovic, spokeswoman for the Muslim Public Affairs Council on the Larry Kudlow show. Emerson slams Lekovic's protestations to moderation right back at her.
Steven Emerson is one of the defendants in the Islamic Society of Boston's defamation lawsuit. They don't want him talking.

I have two points:
1. Emerson 'outed' the speaker since she was on record in English on a newspaper. What about what's happening in all the mosques in America today? They are speaking and lecturing in languages none of us can understand. It's crazy to believe there is no agitation going on against 'America and the Zionist Israelis’. Furthermore, how can we not suspect vile ideas against Christians & Jews being promulgated in weekly sermons? As a Jew, I have never been in a religious service where there was any word spoken against another religion or against another people. My experience with Islam & Muslims makes me believe that much of what they do is 'negative' against us.
2. The percentages mentioned in the Pew Survey should disturb every American. Muslims & Islam are a huge danger to the open society of the West. Unlike previous immigrants who absorbed the freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the concept of the 'rule of law', Muslims & Islam have not absorbed these core values. If Muslims represent 1.2 Billion people and 5% are jihadis that's 60 Million people! The Islamic reformation has not yet occurred and may not in my or our children’s lifetime. During those years jihadis will continue to disrupt our lives in the West by waging a never-ending war. Jihad is forever or until we submit to their religion. It's scary and pernicious. We must be ever vigilant.
