Sure, Madrasah means school. Ask Joe sixpack what they think a Madrasah is though and nine times out of ten they’re going to say something along the lines of it being some sort of radical Islamic religious school where youngsters are taught to be terrorists. Madrasah has an entirely different connotation than the word “school”, which most Americans take to mean simply as a place of education and learning.

Although technically incorrect, Biden’s point was based upon the general public connotation of the word Madrasah vs. the word school. There – was that so difficult? Partisan gotcha debate word analysis is really tiresome and probably doesn’t convince anyone to change their mind.

One final thought. People involved in a Jihad are known as mujahideen, like those the U.S. supported in Afghanistan in their efforts to get the USSR out. At this point in time, I think that the word mujahideen and the thought of the U.S. supporting them probably wouldn’t sit well with most Americans.

We all know that Biden simply “pulled a Biden.”

Apparently a sometimes-contributor to Slate, he was one of a multitude on the staff there who voted opposite the four who voted for Bush (one was an intern, FGS). A screaming indictment of SCUM bias, but who’s keeping track?

I don’t know where you live, but for you to make that statement (which I NEVER heard until you said it) makes me think you live inside the beltway.

That was an insult for me to think that.

Wake up and look in the mirror!
