On the September 12th edition of "The View," in response to fellow co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s comments that since the attacks of September 11, 2001, America has not been attacked at home. “We have not been attacked,” she said. “We are on the offense here.”
Rosie O’Donnell, interrupted her and stated that "radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."
The comedienne also attacked America’s response to 9/11:
O’Donnell: "We were attacked not by a nation. And as a result of the attack and the killing of nearly 3,000 innocent people, we invaded two countries and killed innocent people in their countries."
Rosie inquired as to whether anyone watched President Bush’s address to the nation. She then read from the speech:
O’Donnell: "He had one sentence that I thought struck me. I thought, what did everyone think? ‘The safety of America depends on the outcome of the battle in the streets of Baghdad.’ And I would say the outcome, really, of America really depends on the battle in the streets of New Orleans, that that city is still decimated and $303 billion have been spent fighting this war. If, literally, a third of that money was put into Katrina and facilitated with honest people who knew how to do it, we wouldn't be in the situation we're in."
(O’Donnell may be unaware of this, but $110 billion has been approved by Congress for the Gulf Coast clean-up. Isn't that at least a third?)
O’Donnell saved her harshest comments for the war on terror. After Hasselbeck mentioned the threat of extreme Islam, Rosie responded with her slap at Christianity:
O’Donnell: "Radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam in a country like America."
This proved too much for even Behar. She replied, in a somewhat bewildered manner, "But.. but Christians are not threatening to kill us. There’s that difference. This group is threatening to kill us."
Hasselbeck also appeared surprised by O’Donnell’s comment. She maintained, "We are not bombing ourselves here in the country."
The comedienne had a clever retort for this:
O’Donnell: "No, but we are bombing innocent people in other countries. True or false?"
O’Donnell then added that Iraq and Afghanistan “never threatened to kill us.”
What?!?!? Earth to O’Donnell... The purpose of al Qaeda, a group interwoven into the ruling Taliban, is the destruction of the American way of life. In Iraq, on numerous occasions, Saddam Hussein threatened America.
There are two points to be made here. First, apparently Rosie believes that the federal government is a branch of "radical Christianity." Secondly, has she never heard of World War II and the innocent civilians that unfortunately died in the struggle against Nazism? Was that war wrong? Showing a loose grasp on international politics, O’Donnell stated that "Iraq and Afghanistan never threatened to kill us. Ever."
Again, perhaps Ms. O’Donnell is unaware of exactly where the Taliban trained and plotted. Afghanistan, with its Taliban leadership, was the training ground for al Qaeda — the group directly responsible for killing thousands of Americans. The Taliban sponsored, housed, and protected al Qaeda fighters and leaders. President Bush told the Taliban to turn over al Qaeda leaders or face the consequences. They refused and America took action against our attackers.
As for the difference between radical Christians and radical Islamists, a fundamentalist Christian feels the "love." A Muslim feels the "hate." If I were forced to make a choice, I would prefer the former to knock on my door to ask me to listen to his spiel, than to have the latter spill my blood because I'd refused to listen.
I also have never been afraid to board a plane with a bunch of Christians, whereas I WOULDN'T board a plane with a load of Muslims.
While a Christian might tell Rosie she's going to burn in hell for her lifestyle choice, a Muslim will do his best to send her here. Or is she ignorant of the fact that homosexuality is punishable by death under sharia law in islamic countries?
Just last week when former Iranian President Mohammed Khatami spoke at Harvard, he justified his country’s use of capital punishment for acts of homosexuality, but said that the conditions for execution are so strict that they are “virtually impossible to meet.”
“Homosexuality is a crime in Islam and crimes are punishable,” Khatami said. “And the fact that a crime could be punished by execution is debatable.”
The audience responded with silence to his remark.

Rosie has had the privilege of being a lesbian woman raising a son in America. Does she not realise how quickly she would be prosecuted, if not executed by radical Islamists for attempting to enjoy the same privilege?
Why hasn't Rosie said anything about that...?
