My Rage Over the Nick Berg Killing

Chron Watch ^ | 12 May 2004 | Barbara Stock

[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.

The fact that any of you want to even entertain the idea of watching and listening to the murder of this poor guy is disturbing in itself. There's something you are getting out of it by watching it, which is really sick.

[wrench]

Islam is as much a political/economic system as it is a "religion". It is a means to control ane exact tribute from the masses, and it is coming to a country near you.

The "true believers" of islam think nothing of killing you (an infidel), your brother, your sister, your father, your mother, your son, or your daughter. They care little if any are in the military or not. Non military targets are now preferred because they are soft targets.

The "terrorists" are not a splinter, fringe group operating outside the teachings if islam, they are islam's missionaries and disciples carring out the true teachings of their cult.

If this generation does not come to terms with islam, the next generation will have to, and the problem will only be worse for our children.

It's amazing how much emotion a videotape like this can generate. O.J. Simpson pretty much did the same thing to his ex-wife, and to this day he's out playing golf in Florida on a daily basis.

[vandykelastone]

And I believe there are NO moderate moslems. There should be no move coddling them anywhere in the world - not in Iraq and certainly not in Michigan and not in Ontario. They have to know that we ain't going to go down like Spain did. And they have to know that good. This is all out war and they are the flavor of the week.

[cousair]

I agree with you !! The pictures are horrific and I think they should be played over and over. The do gooders need to take a hike and we need to understand there is a battle going on in this country by the far left.

[Freemeorkillme]

Nonsense!

It's quite a reality check of exactly what these demon worshipers want for the West.

[vandykelastone]

You miserable son of a b@tch. God should only help you if anyone ever finds out where you are. Sorry, Jim.

[sonserae]

Everyday thousands of people kill innocent babies with more mutilation than what happened here....but to the left it's called a "choice".

[PISANO]

I support our President but I really hope he hears and feels America's rage today!

Shortly after 911, I went to a web site that had vidoes of the Taliban and Bin Laden's minions in action against the Soviets during their occupation of Afghanistan. I knew we were going there and I wanted to 'see' our enemy.

I am a Vietnam Vet and have seen some pretty awful things but there I saw a decapitation video of a young soviet soldier. It was SLOW and methodical, sickening and distrubing, and I too thought that could be my son. I also wondered if his parents saw their son's death? I will never watch another but when Daniel Pearl was killed and now Mr. Berg it brings back that 'sickening' feeling of emptiness and nausea.

I wish the utter HORROR of this act could be HARNESSED and that we as a nation would come together against the COMMON enemy, rather than this petty political game the leftists play, and calmly go about ANNIHILATING every Islamist in the world.

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

They SHOULD show it EVERYWHERE. In my mind these liberal SOBS are nothing more than enemies of this country, who have sided time and time again with these animals, even now are trying to blame this on the US, "Oh the US gave Nick Berg to them. It`s the fault of the US" People just have to take one look at that video and realize that these animals do this stuff ALL the time, and no matter how hard liberals try to brush it under the rug, like they did with 911 "Oh 911 is soo soo passe" and the bridge burning, the more they show this video all over the place the more it will get through the thick skulls what we are dealing with here. Look at this garbage, Moveon.org NO mention of Nick Berg on their website. All they harp on about is the prison stuff. They are aiding these animals, embolding them nothing more nothing less.

Do you dispute what I've said here?

[Rutabega]

This author has said exactly what I have been thinking myself all day--only so much more articulately since the times I have attempted to comment, I have been blinded by a rage so strong that I start making no sense and sounding like a nutcase. Thanks Barbara!

I can't believe how intolerant I have become of these people in the past few months. . .I always thought of myself as such a kind person, but now I am so desperate to come back to MY people in the US, I think I'm going to kiss the passport control people when I finally get off the plane!

[God luvs America]

I agree..enough with this sanitary war BS. Winning hearts and minds is fine but only true fear will make these scuimbags sucumb!

[Sister_T]

I have not seen the video and don't plan to.

Part of me wants to, just to know what kind of monsters we are dealing with. Yet, given some of the descriptions here from those who have either seen or heard it, I don't think I want to. I really don't need to see what kind of monsters we are dealing with. The fact that they beheaded this man and posted video of it tells me what kind of monsters we are dealing with.

That poor man! Just thinking about what happened makes me fill with rage!

[Sister_T]

She's right. These MONSTERS aren't animals. Animals kill out of necessity, because they need to eat. What these DEMONS did was VILE AND EVIL!

[SierraWasp]

Good "Freedom of expression," my friend.

Now here's my outrage. I was awakened by my clock radion with KSFO in San Francisco reporting that the father of this murdered young American man was a signer of the International A.N.S.W.E.R. proclamation, declaring the President, V.P. and Rummy as war criminals even before the Iraq invasion!!!

This, of course, reminded me of finding their "proclamation" posted in the locked, glass covered bulletin board in my very own US Post Office shortly after 9-11!!! I of course know our Postmaster and aggressively insisted he not only remove this blatant piece of political crap, but investigate which employee used their key to post this in the locked display board as a possibly treasonous act!!!

As I watched him grumblingly take it down, he was mumbling and grumbling under his breath something about "freedom of expression" being completely legitimate!!!

I read a reply (#35) in your thread below, wondering if the parents had watched this heinous act, themselves. I wonder too!!! I wonder how the father feels as he still blames the US government for the death of his son, INSTEAD OF THE PERPS!!!

[jwpjr]

I am honestly disturbed by what I am sensing in myself these days. I was raised in 'Old South' in the late 40's and early 50's but was fortunate enough to have parents who would not condone ANY form of racism in word or deed. As I've grown up I've tried to use the same yardstick in dealing with anyone who not 'like' me in color, religion, etc. The overwhelming majority of Muslims will do nothing, absolutely nothing, to help themselves avoid being painted with the broad brush provided by these miscreants. I can only assume this means that either they don't care what I think of them or they are so brainwashed that it doesn't matter to them. I have an increasingly difficult time trying to keep anger from welling up in my chest when I see them in public wearing their distinctive headdress. I am mostly a Baptist, and I can assure you that if anyone were to kidnap someone and behead them TV while claiming to be doing it for the God I love and worship and on behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention the resulting uproar from Baptists across this country would be deafening. They would be decried from EVERY pulpit in the church and on every talk show. For the life of me I can understand how so many Mausoleums can simply stand by and see what's being done IN THEIR NAME without even a whimper.

[OldFriend]

It's nearly two hours and I am still shaken and tearful.

I resent your smiley face......what were you thinking.

[noscreenname]

I just read your profile.

You have some very interesting positions.

I have always advocated, since the 60's, the total prosecution of warfare by warlike means. To me, shock and awe would have been a mushroom cloud blooming over Baghdad. Yes, Truman understood the 'Patton Principle' - "...make the other poor bustard die for his country". How many of the 58,000 that died (or are missing) during Viet Nam would still be with us if we had prosecuted that 'war' like a true military operation and won it within the first two years. For crying out loud, it didn't take ten years to defeat Hitler and the Japanese!!

Likewise, how long are we going to let the Islamists hold us hostage to our own need to 'be liked by the world'? If it hasn't been noticed by now let me shed some light on a (at least to me) glaring fact; most of the world, Islamic or otherwise, dislike us now anyway! I spent my tour of duty in Munich in the early sixties (before the A-Teams became company sized units in Viet Nam) and the Germans distaste for Americans was only lightly veiled. From what I can gather that dislike has only deepened since then. The French kicked us out of France about the same time (mid-60's) because their dislike for us never lessened from WWII - yeah, I know we defeated Fascism and 'liberated' them but we also exposed just how deeply in bed with the Nazis they really were. Besides, Eisenhower was very open about how he felt about Degaule. And even though our politicians at the time (early 60's again) thought that if we bailed them out of 'French Indochina' they'd relent and embrace our proposed 'nuclear umbrella' approach to the defense of Europe and not go nuclear in their own right. Guess what? Being nice to them didn't help. Just like trying to appease the world now won't help.

Terrorist understand terror. So take it to them. Bounce the rubble, salt the earth and move on.
