According to breitbart.tv:
Conservative syndicated columnist and author Cal Thomas is under fire for comments deemed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations to express “Islamophobic attitudes.” Discussing the weekend’s UK terror plots, Thomas compared some Muslims to a “slow spreading cancer.”
Comparing some muslims to a slow spreading cancer is Islamaphobic? Not if it’s true! I’m sorry, but you can say “some” of a group are just about anything and be completely accurate and truthful.
Some blacks commit crimes.
Some whites are racist.
Some latinos in this country are here illegally.
Some Asians are good at math.
Some women are bad drivers.
Some Southerners are not very bright.
You cannot prove to me or anyone else that those statements above are wrong. When you say “some” of a group are anything, as long as there are two or more in that group that fit whatever you are saying, you’re speaking the truth! So where’s the problem?
The problem is with people who can’t handle the truth. Some muslims ARE like a slow spreading cancer. The ones who attack non-muslims are a disease. Don’t like it? Learn to accept the truth.
According to Sports Illustrated:
My friend’s daughter, who is just a hair older than my 3-year-old, had retinoblastoma and had to undergo a lot of chemotherapy and had a radioactive plaque put in her eye at one point. The doctors were originally afraid she may lose her sight in one eye and half her sight in the other, but she, as far as I know, is doing great and has had no vision loss!
I hope Mr. Fisher’s daughter sees similarly good results. It’s good to see a professional athlete with some sense and his priorities and heart in the right place, for a change. How sad that Mr. Fisher has to be the exception rather than the rule.
