Our struggle against Da'esh depends on getting most of the Muslims in the world on our side. There's a reason that Da'esh calls greater Islam "the Grey Zone". They consider those Muslims to be salvageable from sin and apostasy, whereas pagans are not and must simply be killed. Our task is to convince those Muslims that they don't need to be saved by Da'esh. If mistreat the "greys", we cannot get them on our side.

The German woman's name "Gisele" is pronounced /GHEE-zuh-luh/. That happens to have been the name as my high-school German teacher. Of course, I'm presuming I have the spelling right. There's also the French name "Giselle", which is /zhee-ZELL/.

I love Danielle's trick with the Gisele Feldman story. As much as Republicans like to talk about Hitler, they really don't think in terms of what actually happened in that era.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann seeks out interesting subjects from such disparate outposts of curiosity that you have to wonder whether or not he uncovered them or they selected him."
—Leonardo DiCaprio, actor, producer, and environmental activist
From Screwed:
"Hartmann speaks with the straight talking clarity and brilliance of a modern day Tom Paine as he exposes the intentional and systematic destruction of America’s middle class by an alliance of political con artists and outlines a program to restore it. This is Hartmann at his best. Essential reading for those interested in restoring the institution that made America the envy of the world."
—David C. Korten, author of The Great Turning and When Corporations Rule the World
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
—Paul Loeb, author of Soul of a Citizen
