Uses the 'S' word for the very first time?

From Eric Dondero:

At a campaign event in Iowa, a local challenged Ron Paul about his views on radical Islam. Paul shot back in typical Ron Paul fashion.

From the Des Moines Register, "Paul says US intervention motivated 9/11 attacks":

“I don’t see Islam as our enemy,” Paul said. “I see that motivation is occupation and those who hate us and would like to kill us, they are motivated by our invasion of their land, the support of their dictators that they hate.”

But of particular interest to pro-defense libertarians, Paul seemingly acknowledged that Sharia Law might be a concern. Continuing:

“After 9/11, (people said) ‘Oh yeah, it’s those very bad people who hate us,’ but 15 of (the hijackers) came from Saudi Arabia,” said Paul. “One of the reasons they attacked us, is we propped up this Sharia government and the fundamentalists hated us for it.”

“That was one of the main motivations for getting your attention on why they hate us and want to kill us,” he said. “You could send 20 million people over there and all it would do is make our problems worse.”

Editor's comment - Could it be that our constant pro-defense libertarian haranguing of left-libertarians on their hypocrisy over Sharia Law might just be getting through? Even the top non-interventionist is now using the 'S' word.
