Columnist in Turkish Islamic Daily: 'USA – the God-Damned Country'; 'Murdering is Genetically Ingrained in American Culture'   In an article titled "Partners in Murder" in the Turkish Islamic daily Yeni Safak, known for its unofficial connections to the Turkish government, [1] columnist Dr. Husnu Mahalli, of Syrian origin, described in detail America's purported murderous activities as emanating from a genetically ingrained tendency to murder. The following is the article (ellipses in the original): [2] 'Murdering is Genetically Ingrained in American Culture' "During the [U.S.] invasion [of Iraq], when I said that the Iraqi people would resist, some said, 'You are wrong – see, no one resisted…' When the resistance did begin they said, 'They are only packs of murderers'… "It is obvious that in both cases, some want to blame the Iraqis, not America… "I wonder: If America had invaded Turkey … what would the Turks be doing? Would they prefer to kneel in front of Bush and his gang and surrender? Could proud patriots accept that? "If there is anyone who says 'yes' to all this, I have nothing to say to 'them'… And if there still remain any who look at the developments in Iraq through American lenses, I have nothing to say to them either… "Since 9/11 I have been saying…: "America invaded Iraq with 'packs of murderers'… America went to Iraq solely to satisfy its murderous instincts. "Murdering is genetically ingrained in American culture. "The second term of Bush's administration will prove this more clearly and concretely. A mere look at Fallujah will suffice: The American military is murdering thousands by destroying the city, on the pretext of eliminating the resistance in Fallujah. "The Americans say they killed 1200 insurgents… about 20 of them foreigners! Let's assume this is true… "If it is true, we should rejoice… It means people from other countries believe in the just struggle of the Iraqi people and are going there to fight alongside them… It means they are not tourists, or interested in making 'blood money'… "Let us not forget that some 40 countries have sent troops to Iraq in support of the American occupation… Why is it that becoming an accomplice to America's murders is 'good,' but supporting and participating in the resistance of the Iraqi people is 'bad?' Or do some still see the resistance fighters as 'packs of murderers' or extremist radical Islamists…?" 'The Americans are Lying, as They Always Do' "The Americans are lying, as they always do… Television [stations] around the world showed yesterday how American soldiers enter mosques and execute the unarmed civilian wounded. They say the American military will investigate … just like they investigated the Abu Ghraib prison tortures… Anyhow, the world has already forgotten those disgusting images [of Abu Ghraib]… "Soon they will also forget the destruction of the mosques, and the murder of unarmed wounded civilians who sought refuge in those mosques… "For heaven's sake, what's happening to us?… "We look at images of Fallujah as if watching American films – with no emotion or reaction, in undefined anger… "For God's sake, when will we see the realities?… When will we understand that this is a new Crusader war?… When will we realize that American aggression targets – and will continue to target – all Muslim countries and peoples?… When will we stop this admiration for America?… When will we [i.e. Turkish trucks] stop carrying fuel to the American airplanes that kill the Iraqi people?… When will we be ashamed of 'welcoming' the murderer soldiers of America when they reach the shores of Adana [a city in southern Turkey near U.S. military bases]?… "If our humanity does not hold us accountable for all this, certainly one day history will…" 'U.S.A. – the God-Damned Country' "Let's return to Fallujah… Mere words cannot describe the murders being committed there… A friend I spoke to yesterday told me that Americans are using Iraqi civilians as human shields to protect themselves against the insurgents. One can expect no less from the faithless, treacherous, murderous Americans…Despite their superiority of arms, both in the air and on the ground, American soldiers are scared of the resistance fighters. "After bombing the mosques of Fallujah, the American soldiers desecrate them by urinating on and soiling their walls. "After raiding homes, American soldiers strip the women and girls naked and molest them. "Fear not … soon these images too will be posted on American websites … just like the images of the Abu Ghraib prison tortures… "American soldiers are being helped by some Kurds and some Iranian militants too… Soon this too will be revealed… Americans are preventing Iraqi Red Crescent emergency convoys from entering the city [of Fallujah]… "For Heaven's sake, enough already!… [We] must all see reality… "Americans do not and will never intend to bring liberty, democracy or human rights to Iraq or any other place… "The Americans want to obliterate the human values of all peoples of the region.Just like Sharon, the Americans want to denigrate and humiliate us, and defile our honor. The Americans, together with Sharon,want to drag us into hopelessness and despair in order to enslave us. "The Americans gave this a name in the aftermath of 9/11… "The New Crusade … and this is why 59 million Americans voted for Bush… "In the words of our ninth president [Suleyman] Demirel: 'Americans are acting in Iraq by the principle of 'better you die than I' … This is the U.S.A. that some among us still love and admire… "In the words of[Turkish TV personality and actor] Levent Kirca: 'U.S.A. – the God-damned country'…" [3]     [1] The paper's owner and Turkey's prime minister have recently become related via their children's marriage. [2] Yeni Safak (Turkey), November 17, 2004. [3] A play on words. The writer gives the acronym for "U.S.A." in Turkish, "A.B.D" – which is also an acronym for the Turkish phrase meaning "God-damned country."

What, this paper is tied to the Turkish government, our great ally and friend? No, couldn't be! Yeah, right! :(

Yeah? Well if I get one more piece of spam from Dr. Husnu Mahalli asking me to help launder $50 million in gold bullion, I'll show him how much of an ingrained tendency I.....

Oh.

Well, it SOUNDED like him....

[Dark Skies]

It means people from other countries believe in the just struggle of the Iraqi people and are going there to fight alongside them...

Yes, let's all help the Iraqi's in their struggle to remain prisoners...

Remember, freedom is the enemy of Islam and vice versa.

[expatpat]

This, from The Religion of Murder?

[popdonnelly]

The good doctor is obviously a crank. Haven't any of these guys heard of Dr. Goebbels? They sure sound like him.

[King Prout]

ah, yes... Turkey, the model of "moderate" islam

[Fred Nerks]

"America, the God-damned country..."

I wouldn't worry too much about this damnation. It's allah he's talking about, the same allah, known as al-Uzza that threw the black stone still worshipped today in Mecca, around which the faithful circle seven times. That allah. The one that throws stones (bolides)from heaven to punish the infidel. Al-Uzza was the ancient arab name for the planet Venus. Islam worships a planet. The Satanic Verses, remember? Arabs worshipped planetary gods long before mohammad - look at the flag of islam. Crescent Moon and Venus. If the arabs had a Lord's Prayer...it would commence:

Our Rock Who Art In Heaven.

Thanks for the ping, DS.

And there I was thinking that Turkey and Malaysia were the two shining examples of "moderate" Islami.... uh... nevermind.

[USF]

This, from The Religion of Murder?

LOL.. yup, thats what I was thinking.

"Murdering is genetically ingrained in American culture.

I guess it depends on what Muslims call murder. Beheadings must not be considered murder. Blowing up one's self and others with them must also not be murder. So what is their definition of murder? Someone other than a Muslim killing someone?

[IronJack]

'Murdering is Genetically Ingrained in American Culture'

Must ... murder ... Ayrabs ... Can't ... resist much ... longer ...

[WarPaint]

Lie, lie, lie

Deny, deny, deny

Whine, whine, whine

Disgusting to read, but needed info, lest we forget.

[Fred Nerks]

Malaysia has in recent days deported a large number of the followers of muhammad, sent them back to Indonesia. Governments throughout the region are painfully aware of the aims of the fanatical islamists. Have you heard of Mantiqi? Mantiqi 1,2,3,4 = sharia:

1. The entire Indonesian area.
2. Malaysia
3. Philipines
4. Papua & Australia.

Maps on school-room walls in islamic schools in Indonesia show the entire region in islamic-green.

[IronJack]

Anyhow, the world has already forgotten those disgusting images [of Abu Ghraib]…

But it clearly remembers the images of Daniel Pearl being beheaded, and the swinging meat hanging from a bridge truss, and the twin plumes of dust and smoke that arose from the Trade Center collapsing.

Yeah, those darned Americans are pure savages.

[mrsmith]

LOL!

Bigots all sound the same the world over.
Just change the subjects and their beliefs are interchangable.

[tinamina]

If murder is "genetically" ingrained in us, it must be the soil here which affects us all, since we all are genetically modified by our various ancestors.

[USF]

Yup, the Jemaah Islamiah Koranimals think they're on a roll to bring the Caliphate back and oppress the asian Muslims.

I lived over in Malaysia as a dhimmi expat for a few years and have kept up with the news there, both from the media and personal sources.

You should see the class rooms in the sharia ruled east coast. The kids are segregated by bigoted Islamic gender and religious apartheid, children's text books with drawings (not pictures) of uncovered faces are censored, and the young ones being brainwashed and made to howl at the moon like dogs.

I could go on forever... it's not a pretty picture.

[BushisTheMan]

This from a culture that beheads people?

[AZ_Cowboy]

Suppose you were to silence your voice of sensibility, shut off your brain, and take the Michael Moore position that Americans in general are genetically presidposed to murderous activity....

If you knew this, why the hell would you start a war with such people? It would seem that you would be embarking on mass-suicide by doing so.

This argument is so aimless that no matter what is done with it, the author still loses. If the ridiculousness of the permise isn't enough to kill you, taking that "logic" to the extreme end would suggest that only a fool would engage a group of so-called sadistic you-know-whats like us.
