Athens Banner-Herald has no taste. Muslim writes editorial on third anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks!

[buckeyesrule]

****Televangelist Pat Robertson called Muslims "worse than Nazis." The Rev. Jerry Falwell labeled the Prophet Muhammad a "terrorist." The Rev. Franklin Graham called Islam "a very evil and wicked religion."***

Yup!

[Ptarmigan]

Sounds like Chicken Little to me, always whining about lost liberties. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to lose my freedoms, but they are being alarmists.

****On Sept. 13, 2001, columnist Ann Coulter, on National Review Online, said: "We should invade Muslim countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."***

She was right.

After the terrorist strikes, Arab and Muslim-Americans became targets for random hate and violence.

Yep. A whopping 47 in one year following the 9/11 attacks, and the number has dropped every year since.

Now mind you, one such attack is too much, but that number pales in comparison to the sheer volume of Jews and Christians targeted for random hate and violence in Islamic countries and in countries sympathetic to Islam.

So these Liberals can kiss my American butt. Until they show the same outrage for the persecution that Christians and Jews get at the hands of their oh-so-beloved Muslims, they can cram it up their tailpipe.

Athens Banner-Herald has no taste. Muslim writes editorial on third anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks!

So what? Why shouldn't an American -- whether Muslim, Jew, atheist or Christian -- write an editorial any damn day he pleases?

[Dreagon]

Amazing isn't it. After an event like 9-11, in a country of ever 260 million people, you could have justifiably expected revenge killings across the country. Instead there is practically nothing, but somehow that still amounts persecuted moslems.

Fear cripple us??? What utter crap. The only time I ever feared a muslim was marching in the West Indian Day parade and there a man milling in the crowd wearing a Palestinian SUICIDE BOMBER HEADBAND. Probably the only time I wanted to kick someone's ass. Should have too because when I went to turn around to find a police officer he was gone. He, like a lot of other people, assume the worst about Americans but I DON'T.

[spodefly]

This is exactly the sort of whiney, woe-is-me, pitiful victim BS I do not need to read from another Muslim, especially today.

Stick a sock in it, Aladdin.

Anyone notice that the writer never even condemned the Muslims responsible for flying those planes into the WTC? Maybe if some of those Muslims would say, "Hey, this is wrong and we do not support these acts" they wouldn't be so despised. But few condemn the terrorists. So they live in our country, enjoy our freedoms, yet bitch that they are the victims of hate crimes and that Americans are intolerant. Well, how's this for tolerance: If you don't like it, get the Hell out!

[JiggyMac]

I'm glad the Jews, WHO WERE BURNED IN OVENS!, are never the victims in hate. But a Muslim can't fly on an airplane and it's like we let off a nuke in Mecca. The special registration of Arab and Muslim males in America terrified communities and broke up families, as some fathers were deported on the most minor technicalities. Yes, we should only deport you if you have a backpack full of explosives, unless you can produce a passport. The most brilliant point is: I will not forgive the muslims until I hear news reports that the government has to turn away translators for counter intelligence. Help us help you. If you're not our enemy, prove it.

Yo ... Aladdin ... it's a whole new world ...

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children
to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead
because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth,
shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines
because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters
crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with
"If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you",
and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obesience.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology
will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea
.. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.
