My Rage Over the Nick Berg Killing
Chron Watch ^ | 12 May 2004 | Barbara Stock

Posted on 05/12/2004 7:48:42 AM PDT by Lando Lincoln

An apology to the pigs of the world.

Last week I was outraged at the behavior of a handful of reservists and disgusted by the pictures that have been plastered all over every media source around the world. I am no longer outraged. Arrest those guilty, give them a fair trial, and put those found guilty in jail--end of story. No more apologies; no more hearings; no more embarrassment over what happened.

The hideous butcher of an American citizen by faceless terrorists and the video put out by creatures I used to refer to as ''animals'' has changed all that. As they held up this young man's severed head for the camera, I decided I will no longer call these sub-animals anything but ''things.'' Calling them animals and putting them in the same class with pigs, is an insult to pigs so I hereby issue a formal apology to all the pigs of the world. The swine of the world are far more ''human'' than these ''things'' that can cut an innocent man’s head off in a most gruesome fashion. They can’t even kill a helpless man--with his hands tied behind his back--with four ''things'' holding him down--in an efficient manner.

No, they hacked at his throat as he screamed in agony for 30 seconds before his misery was finally ended. What brave ''things'' these butchers are to kidnap a man who was there helping to rebuild Iraq. He was not a soldier. Nick Berg didn’t shoot anyone. He didn’t humiliate anyone and take pictures of the event. No, he just went there to work. As they ended this young man’s life, they were shouting, ''God is great!'' May Allah design a special place in hell for these ''things.''

These ''things'' are afraid of real soldiers. They can only butcher men with their hands bound. They can only blow up children and execute babies and pregnant women. They are cowards.

''Things'' hide in holy places and defile them with their evil. A ''thing'' bravely covers his head so no one can see his evil face as he murders. This ''thing'' doesn’t want anyone to know how much he enjoys what he is doing. That’s why he does it. He likes doing it. He doesn’t care about the Iraqi people--he never has and he never will. He just enjoys killing. He is a soulless creature who exists on a different plane from humans. If there are such things as demons, these ''things'' are they.

The ''things'' say it is punishment for what happened in the Abu Ghraib prison to Iraqi prisoners. What is the excuse for the butcher of Danny Pearle? What was his crime? For what was he punished? There were no humiliating pictures being flashed around the world when Danny had his throat slit by some Islamic guardian of the gates of hell.

The American outrage over the treatment of the Iraqi prisoners was immediate and loud. Where is the Muslim outrage as these ''things'' butcher in the name of their God? Where is the anger over the image that has become the face of Islam? Islam has become a faith of death, hate, and murder in the eyes of the civilized world.

When the war on terror began on September 11, 2001, I didn’t blame Muslims for the carnage. Last week I didn’t blame Muslims as a whole for the butchery seen now around the world. My opinion is changing, however.

Three thousand people were murdered on 9/11. Several hundred were murdered in Spain. Last week a woman who was eight months pregnant and her children--including a two year old--were gunned down in Israel. Two ''things'' dressed as women tried to wreak havoc at a memorial for this woman just a few days ago. Israeli soldiers sent them to their fate. Their fate is to stand before Allah and try to explain the killing of babies in his name.

Islam has brought death and destruction to every continent on the face of this planet. Where does it end? When does it become so much mindless killing that Islam will rise up and destroy the evil within? A terrorist is a terrorist whether in Iraq, here in America, Spain, or Israel. All are killing in the name of your God--killing in the name of Allah--but when will Muslims become outraged? Will Muslims ever become outraged? Does Islam quietly rejoice at the actions of the ''things''? Muslim silence is speaking volumes. Either Islam approves of the killing or it is afraid of the ''things'' that have stolen the Islamic faith and refuses to stand up to them. If Muslims do not reclaim their religion, it will be forever lost, strangled to death by the blood of innocent people.

If the Muslims of the world do not step forward and demand that the killing ends, the bloodbath will go on and on. As Muslims allow their sons and daughters to be indoctrinated into a climate of hate, where the throat-slitting of innocents and the killing of babies is cheered as a great victory for Allah, the hate will grow, but not as Muslims expect. The hate will come from our side.

Americans will no longer care if we blow up a mosque. If the ''things'' are hiding there, blow it up. If terrorists hide in Islam’s holy shrines, they are no longer holy but black holes that lead straight to hell. Any Muslim that houses them as guests becomes the enemy and will die as a terrorist and Allah will judge silent Muslims as harshly he judges the terrorists. If mainstream Islam does not speak out against terrorist acts and take steps to condemn such acts and stop the killing, the blood of thousands will be on their hands as much as it is on the terrorists’ hands. The dead are crying out for justice. The only justice for these ''things'' is death. I doubt that Allah will have any mercy on their souls.

As to Americans, we have been reminded of what the enemy really is--a ''thing.'' Terrorists are faceless, soulless creatures that must be exterminated from the face of earth. ''Things'' and all who harbor them must cease to exist. If terrorism is not stopped, it will corrupt all and evil will win. Satan is joyous this day--his minions have made him very proud.

Yes, in my research Muhammed basically got pissed that no one in his part of the Arab world was listening to him preach the Christian religion and so in his bitterness, developed the Koran which fell in line with more of the violent attitudes of tribal warfare in his region which is how is gained acceptance.

Unfortunately, no way to debate or negotiate with them, only destroy them until the power base has shriveled to nothing. Bummer is the power base is underground and it takes more time to find first, then destroy.

I heard the audio on Dennis Prager's program. Sickening. Don't arrest Zarqawi, just whack him!

Since you are the only one who appears to have objected to anything I've said on this thread, I have to assume that YOU are the one who needs to check the dosage on his medication.

What is that? Is it Latin?

What's this guy's problem with your tagline?

I'm glad to read your post. My wife and I watched this video last night before I went to work 3rd shift. I too haven't felt this angry and sick since 9/11. I have seen horror movies, but nothing compares with seing a real human being being treated this way. The worst part for me was going to work, and not one person I work with knew anything about it other than seing it in the newspaper. As we all know, seeing a picture of this man alive doesn't begin to tell the tragedy of Nick Berg's final minutes. I try to take the high ground, but my mind will no longer let me. I want them all dead. I want the Middle East flattened. I have no pity or sympathy for these "things". I have never felt so much hatred for someone, and I don't think it's healthy.

I have stood by Bush, even as the world calls him a right wing neocon. But lately, even Bush isn't as far right as I'd prefer at this moment. God help us all.

It is a classic line from Mel Gibson's movie Braveheart.

"I do not tell lies . . . but I am a savage."

homo indomitus

Does that really mean savage or indomitable man, or are those terms equivalent or interchangeable? They certainly don't seem so to me.

I've seen some minor complaints about the poor Latin translations in the movie, but the dialogue in question was sub-titled and I seem to clearly remember it as "a savage."

The context of the dialogue is very important. Wallace is speaking with the English princess (who is actually French, but married to the son of King Edward) who was sent out to negotiate terms for peace with Wallace's Scottish rebels. Wallace is supposed to be little more than a wild, ignorant barbarian, but when the princess' aide says to her (in Latin) that "he is a lying savage," Wallace utters his classic reply (in Latin, as well) to both of them. From this point forward it is clear to them that this is no ordinary barbarian.

I've seen the movie, so I understand the context your talking about, and your explanation does make sense.

Sorry my fellow Freep brother or sister. I never saved this info, read it from a netsource called "Understanding Islam". You could do a search and find the information.
