Dr. James Dobson called for support of this Lt. General yesterday on Focus on the Family. He said since when does a man in the Military automatically lose his 1st amendment Rights?

I hope you will take a few monments to e-mail this guy and let him know what you REALLY think!

[paguch]

How often and how profoundly has this gentlman criticized the terrorists? They have done more than comment. We are listening!

Give Ali a piece of your mind! Ping!

"And I don't think that God all of the sudden has taken sides in killing and slaughter done in his name. Only people with serious delusions and mental problems think that God is a cheerleader for killing. "

So, murdering Islamists are just a few men who need Prozac???

How about some clarity...

Ann Coulter on General Boykin's holy war remarks

[T'wit]

General Boykin expressed himself as being opposed to Satan. This fellow expresses himself as being opposed to General Boykin. I'm getting a picture.

I think the idea that my God is bigger than yours has actually been expressed a fews times before by military leaders throughout the last several milleniums. Can't recall one getting fired for expressing that opinion in his own circle of worshippers. Also can't recall when one ever said that his own god's a weak little wuss. If a person believes in a god, he generally believes that his particular god is effective, and that those who don't believe in it obviously believe in a less-or-non-effective god, or why would else would he believe the one he picked?

If this Arab and Muslim leader is not prepared to back the US in its war against terror, and if he is representative of Arab and Muslim thought, why should it surprise him if some Americans view some Muslims with suspicion?

If he wants to allay this kind of negative view, if he wants to build bridges between Muslims and American Christians and Jews, he could start by backing the US unambiguously. If he does not believe that Allah favors the jihadis, then he must believe that a war of self-defense against these people is justified, and he must be prepared to support us.

He isn't doing it. He is his own rebuke.

I know, being a Muslim myself, that I don't worship an idol, and my God is the same God who created us all.

I beg to differ on both points. You worship your black meteorite Kabba rock and your moon gawd is not the same as my G_d.

since when does a man in the Military automatically lose his 1st amendment Rights?

When his speech is politically incorrect. If the general had whined like Gen. Clark, he'd be hailed by the media as a hero.

[Old Sarge]

There is an undercurrent of anti-Muslim and anti Arab sentiment...

Ya Think it could be as a result of...

This argument may be settled the next time these SOB's blow up a building full of innocents in the United States. America does not need to be a haven for murderous cults.

ALI..I WONDER WHY???..................


The Saudi government has warned Western residents they must not eat, drink and smoke in public during Ramadan.

The Interior Ministry said Wednesday that penalties would be imposed on any non-Muslim who violates the ban in shops, streets or places of work. Punishment could range from the termination of one's work contract to deportation.

"Being a non-Muslim is no excuse ... deterrent measures will be taken against violators," the ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency.

There are an estimated two million non-Muslim foreigners living in Saudi Arabia, which has a population of about 19 million.

During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating, drinking and sex from dawn to dusk. Muslims believe it was during Ramadan about 1,400 years ago that the Quran, their holy book, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has urged Americans to be "particularly vigilant" for terrorist attacks during Ramadan.

"It is the Embassy's assessment that terrorist groups may place special operational significance on the upcoming month of Ramadan," the US Embassy said in a warden message posted on its Web site.

Britain and Australia warned their citizens this week against travel to Saudi Arabia, with the British Foreign Office saying it had received information that "terrorists may be in the final phases of planning attacks" in the kingdom.

"The president should make it clear that such extremist views will not be tolerated"

Now if only the Islamic Americans and Islamic nations would do the same, then terrorism would stop immediately.

[Lion Den Dan]

A religion that keeps a guiding text advocating the death of non-believers is my enemy. Though I am not an evanjelical Christian, I can recognise my enemies and recognise the richeousness of General Boykin.

God keep him and God Damn the Satanic Islamists.

[TheCrusader]

I'm grateful to Boykin for speaking the truth, a quality that has been smothered by policitcal correctness for too many years.

[joesnuffy]

Dr. Dobson was correct...as is General Boykin
Of course Muslims will not see the truth any more than a venimnous snake thinks of itself as poisoness..
The truth is in the bite...and islam bites
imo

[DonQ]

The general is being trashed for his comments (in a relatively private setting) about another religion while Moslems, such as the Malaysian PM and Arafat's pet mufti, get the most gentle response - if any at all - for their very public comments about other religions.

[Concentrate]

Bush chastised the prime minister publicly and said nothing to his Pentagon official. To Muslims around the world, Bush's silence confirms their suspicion that this U.S. administration is waging a new crusade against Islam and Muslims.

In the article I read about the incident, it was specifically mentioned that President Bush chastized the Prime Minister privately, not publicly.
