"Islam's LAST Chance"--(Make up your minds)

We're a little different....we Americans. Full of hope and life...wanting nothing more than to live a good,decent life...and pass on to our children the Freedom and chance to betterment that we ourselves have had.
We don't want to conquer the world...we don't want to even own the idiot thing. We watch dumb t.v. shows...and ,sometimes, even dumber movies. All with the expectation of trying to enjoy a couple of hours of leisure..and,really,doing nothing important.
And yet...we also aspire to goodness...and ,maybe, just a little greatness (always with the small 'g'). We TRY to do good the world over. We TRY to help our fellow man...to Free him...to show him that there IS a better way of life. We TRY to show our fellow dwellers on this rock that Freedom...the power to choose for oneself...is so priceless that it is worth fighting for.
Oh,for sure, we DO have our share of 'bad' people. Those who will commit acts of savagry or abuse against other Americans....or Iraqi's for that matter. We DO have people here who will commit all sorts of crime.....BUT...we also have the knowledge that when they are caught...MOST,if not all, will be punished.
But,most Americans, are just normal average people who go to work...pay their bills....raise their children.
Never forget....we are the 'Good Guys'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have watched for the last year....the reporting of Americans being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. (doing nothing more than trying to help fellow human beings). I have watched the burnt out vehicles along the roadside...I have seen the burnt and dismembered bodies of Americans being dragged thru the streets and hung from a bridge...all to the tune of dancing men and children chanting about how Allah is great.
I've watched for the last week...the unending circus about the abuses ,done by some, at a prison in Iraq. I have NOT liked what happened there...I have liked even less watching all the newspeople and politicians making asses of themselves in some sort of weird game of 'one-upmanship'. (after all...to BECOME a politician...you have to an ass anyway...and newspeople aren't much further up the ladder)
...and today, I have watched the moving pictures of a young American being beheaded.
I watched the Islamic Terrorists raise his head towards the camera...to try and instill fear in my heart. In the hearts of my friends. In the hearts of my children.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got news for them.
I don't scare that easy.
WE don't scare that easy.
I have written before....there is a cancer in the world today. Eating away at basic human decency. Eating away at Freedom...trying to return us to those glorious days of yesterday...where the Rulers of Islam could decide your life and death on a whim.
I have also said that UNLESS the so-called moderate Islam stands up and helps us fight those who do such savagry as I witnessed today...then they are no better than those who beheaded that young American.
Moderate Islam has a choice.
Life or death.
Choose life...and the rewards will be great. But it WILL take you getting invovled in actually fighting the Islamic Terrorists. It WILL take you standing up on your hindlegs and actually voicing your opposition to the Osama's of the world. It WILL take you discovering your testicles.
There is a cancer among us...and it is Islamic Terrorism.
...and if moderate Islam wants to just sit on the sideline then we will consider that you have chosen death.
...and we will help you get there.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
God Bless the United States of America....and God Bless the Soldiers who are protecting her.

I agree with you. But the fact is these mad Moslem murderers are acting no differently today than they have since Mohammed himself rode his camel out of the desert 1400 years ago and began slaughtering Jews and Christians with abandon, women and children, young and old alike. If the definition of insanity is doing the same old thing over and over again, yet expecting a different result, then Westerners generally and Americans in particular are truly nuts if they think these unrepentent and irredeemable mass murderers will ever change. The fact of the matter is there are no "moderate" Moslems; those Moslems who claim there are function as sleeper plants placed in our midst to perform further atrocities.

That was a statement from CAIR and should be taken as seriously as a Kerry position staement. CAIR cares nothing for the dead civilian and only wishes there were more of them here in America. CAIR was sited several times as supporting HAMAS and PLO attacks against civilians.

Your post and another one by Pukin Dog are what make FR so great. Banned? I doubt that would happen. Great post!

Hello, you silver tongued devil you!
Someone said today that our Military went into Iraq with attack fury....we should have stayed in that mode.
On 911, I seriously thought there would be some martial law instituted to clean out the nests in the US of these monsters. Sometimes I'm so naive I amaze myself!! I remember thinking...hell, praying, that Muslims would not be treated as we did the Japanese in WW2......I forgot for a moment that the military and the rest of us are subordinate to a bunch of corrupt lawyers looking out for the rights of terrorists. We can't even manage to keep locked up the ones who are planning to kill us all without some lawyer screaming to let 'em out!
I did have to laugh a moment though, when it was suggested that some "contract" people might be responsible for some of the problems in the prison "abuse".....and some tell us "outsourcing" isn't a problem!! LOL!!
This whole mess is beginning to stink bad. I say Waco 'em.
IF IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR TEXAS, IT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR IRAQ
The terrorists in Iraq have turned mosques into armed fortresses. Our troops cant attack these holy places. Yes, I know its our policy to not destroy anyones church. But sometimes we also make exceptions when the need arises. Whatever your opinion of the Mt. Carmel meltdown, you have to admit it was effective and thorough. And no one, except Tim McVeigh complained much or held the US Government accountable.
Give the residents, aka collateral damage 24 hours notice to get out of town to specified camps. Collect all weapons.
Take enough troops to surround every mosque that wont open up. Take em out of S. Korea, Kosovo, Haiti, and every other gimme state that the U.S. defends while they only complain. As for Kosovo, weve already messed that up with the UN, Wes Clark and Natos help to ever make amends for that travesty.
Get the snipers and shoot anyone trying to escape a hostile mosque.
Cut off the water and electricity. Turn on the flood lights and get out Nancy Sinatras boots music. Make it REALLY loud.
Wait em out. How long? 30 to 60 days? Then call Janet Reno to find out where to get the CS Gas. Get the tanks, flame throwers and every munition known to man.
David Koresh and his misguided flock considered their compound a sacred place. Theirs was a cult, after all, filled with brainwashing, exploitation, intimidation and danger. Whatever the threat to the rest of us, those 80 people never killed 3000 of our citizens and over 600 of our young people defending us all, much less put a hole in our economic structure that well be paying off for generations, if we survive this mess called Iraq.

"Islam's LAST Chance"--(Make up your minds) Yet another last chance? How many does it get? How many innocent people get killed as we give chance, after chance, after chance?

(I chose not to view the gory video)Me, too. Having lost a son that age, I just don't think I can take it.
But I am struck by how devastated, moved, and outraged the people who have seen it are. It must be horrific.

Well said! A definite keeper.
Why on earth would you think you'd be banned for this? Haven't you just concisely conveyed what most of us here are thinking?

I went along when President Bush talked about 'moderate Islam'....or that Islam is a religion of Peace.
I WANTED TO BELIEVE!!!
My Soul WANTED TO BELIEVE.
But...it is at that stage now where I don't believe...and am waiting (and it must happen NOW...RIGHT NOW) for those members of a supposed 'moderate Islam' to stand up for THIS Nation.
..otherwise....
