Suddenly, a far-away country about which most of us know little has shot to the very forefront of our minds and consciences. In a new century already steeped in horror, what happened at the Russian school in Beslan plumbs new depths of barbarity.
The carefully planned slaughter of hundreds of children, a massacre of innocents mown down inside their school by zealots who bayoneted one when he asked for water and who blew others up or shot them in cold blood, is a monstrosity which has had a profound effect upon those who watched in horror as the tragedy unfolded.
The hellish images of murder, of screaming terror, of naked and starving children forced to eat the flowers they had brought to school or drink their own urine will surely serve to define our terrorised age. It is impossible to comprehend how human beings can behave like this to anyone, let alone to children.
And that incomprehension makes us realise that we are dealing here with something that is as terrifying as it is diabolical people who no longer behave as recognisable human beings, who are in the grip of a religious hysteria so profound that human life is of no consequence whatsoever, except as a means to terrorise the world.

For I do not believe this was an isolated episode in a fight between Chechen separatists and the Russian government. This was Russias 9/11, part of the global jihad being waged against all infidels Americans, Europeans, Russians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus or moderate Muslims in order to re-establish the medieval Islamic global empire. It was, in short, further evidence that we are embroiled in a world war.

To paraphrase, " pull your head out of your ___ ,America. It could be coming to YOUR town".
Well, here is either Scrooge or a Troll.
Then you, sir, are a callous idiot!
I'm hoping that W can make a quick trip to Moscow and nail down an alliance with Putin.
You gonna get in here, boy or just hit and run?
Regarding the idea of moderate Muslims:
Bukhari:V9B84N59 Allahs Apostle said, I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. Whoever says this will save his property and his life from me.

In an earlier thread, JediForce wrote in part:
Why the news blackout in America ? I just don't understand it. Somebody in the administration needs to get out front on these Islamic attacks on Russia. Where is Homeland Security and why have they not at the very least mentioned that perhaps it might be a wise idea for people around schools to keep an eye open? It is amazing.

The hurricane did not kill 156+ children in a school. Islamic terrorists did in a quiet town in Russia.
And the silence is deafening.
My response:
To: JediForce
I sure am glad you wrote that, and well written it is, by the way.
My wife and I are absolutely apoplectic about the msm, Bush, et al., treating this as a non-event. It takes a lot to get me riled up, but I am now. The lack of national outrage over this makes me wonder what the future holds. I haven't heard a peep out of anyone with any stature. This should have been the headlines in every single paper, every single day, since the story broke. Included should have been the pictures from the scene, so the doubters could see, once again, the real face of islam.
I am so mad I could chew nails. We suck.
Bump for bookmark...excellent read!!!
