Columnist Kathleen Parker uses same quote Klocek used with Muslim DePaul students

In early September, 2004. Abdel Rahman al-Rashed, general manager of the al-Arabiya network wrote:

It is a certain fact that not all Muslims are terrorists, but it is equally certain, and exceptionally painful, that almost all terrorists are Muslims. . . . We cannot clear our names unless we own up to the shameful fact that terrorism has become an Islamic enterprise; an almost exclusive monopoly, implemented by Muslim men and women.


In her latest column, a missive on profiling, columnist Kathleen Parker used the same quote.

On September 15, 2005, DePaul professor Thomas Klocek repeated that quote to some Muslim students at the school, and since they didn't like what he had to say, DePaul fired him.

Kathleen Parker is still employed as a columnist, as far as I can gather.
