On the "Prowl" 4 the W-End: On #Syria, #Muslims & Other Thoughts.....

As the debate ensues about what to do about Syria in the aftermath of Paris, Beirut and Ankara, I ran across this on the interesting tact taken on criticizing the Obama Doctrine on Syria.  I did not see a solution as I have in other analysis when I reflected upon the challenge we face: JINSA in The Weekly Standard: Who Really Betrayed the Syrians? | JINSA Online.

Beyond the debates, there is the very distrubring discussions in the current Republican Party which is outright dangerous.    Donald Trump has advocated registration for Muslim Americans--and after he denied it--doubled down on it.    He called it a "matter of management"--in addition to calling for the closure of Mosques.    This is as Ben Carson took to Time Magazine to say no Syrian Refugees should be brought in although he praised any Muslim Americans he has worked with unless they "denounce" violence.    I made it a point of tagging Dr. Carson's Twitter Feed late last night with this that directly point and point rejected his assertions.

The team, though, ran across this from a few months which I found to be hillarious but at the same time so ironic and troubling as well:

As the weekend is at hand, though, I took comfort in these thoughts on my personal twitter feed before I am "off the grid" for the weekend although the team will be on the "prowl" with the #outsider Twitter Feeds and of course my twitter feed will be updating with the periodic #quote feeds along with the Daily Update:

Onward to another working weekend...

On the Prowl: Thoughts 4 the Night.....

It was another busy day here in #Outsiders as our team finished off a series of notations, remembered Mickey Mouse and assessed our world  trying to keep a positive upbeat view   with the daily curations it released to the Twitter Feed.   With the challenging week that was at hand, it was gratifying to see the team focus on deciding on the artist of the week and the selections they chose for the #Outsider properties that will be available for all to enjoy throughout the day tomorrow.

It was also quite a disturbing day on the political scene as the two current leading US Republican Presidential candidates talked about issuing special identity cards for Muslims and disparinsgly refer to Syrian Dogs.  It was sickening to say the least--that's why I viewed the focus by the team was so vital to help bring a sense of light and a bit of joy in an otherwise increasingly acronomious debate on refugees in the aftermath of Paris.     

As I finish off this late notations, I decided to go to my personal digital archives to share some thoughts which underscores the sentiments I try to live up to which is the driving force for outsiders especially as we reflect upon all that we're thankful for on this thanksgiving week in the United States.

I wish all a fabulous Friday and a fabulous weekend.

A True Profile In Courage: A Husband Pays Tribute to his Fallen Wife Who Died in #ParisAttacks (Updated w/the Corrected Link)

As I finished off working away, I ran across this that I don't mind noting brought tears to my eyes as I listened to this beautiful tribute:

He spoke for us all in not giving in to the hatred and the madness that Daesh wants.     We shall and will overcome.   I also was so pleased when I saw reporting that President Rouhani of Iran was in touch with President Hollande to offer every assistance possible.   

May her soul and the rest of the fallen in Paris, Beirut, Ankara, Kabul, Kashmir and everywhere around the World subject to this hatred rest in peace as we as a World rise up to collectively note:  enough is enough.
