Suicidal Tendencies in the West
Tolerance unreciprocated leaves West vulnerable.
by Bruce Thornton
Private Papers
Last week riots broke out in Afghanistan and Pakistan over an unfounded rumor, irresponsibly published by Newsweek magazine, that an American interrogator had flushed a Koran down the toilet. In response, the administration has been anxiously assuring the Muslim world that we indeed respect their religion and begging them to please like us.

Anyone familiar with the history of Islam and its 14-centuries-long violent jihad against the West and the Jews will not be surprised or shocked by these events. They express perfectly the arrogant intolerance of a religion convinced it has been chosen by God to rule the world, and so is justified in using every means, whether violence or propaganda, to fulfill that divine mandate. As the final and complete revelation of the divine, Islam feels no need to respect or tolerate other religions or secular notions like "human rights," for they are all the detritus of infidel history to be swept away in the final triumph of the one true religion.

Do you realize that we are at war?
Sniff...
How much credibility do THEY have you mean.
Since THEY'RE the ones who attacked us, they're the ones who have commmitd acts of terrorism for decades.
And you want to whine about credibility?
Go play that somewhere it'll fly, like DU.
I wouldn't say it's your imagination that's the problem I'd say it's more a lack of intelligence.
Have you checked their tallies around the world lately. There are several hundred thousand they killed in the Sudan alone. There or a dozen or other conflicts going on in the world that you might want to check out.
How about those 3000 in the World Trade Center? It's still lately for them and their thousands of family members.
I know we put panties on the heads of their poor prisoners, but have you checked out their videos to see what they do to their prisoners heads and theses are non-combatants.
As for desecration of their unholy satanic terrorist manual they call the Koran, check out what they do to other peoples holy symbols such as the 4000 year old Tomb of Joseph or the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Bethlehem.
Better yet put a Star of David on an arm band , tuck a Holy Bible under your arm and walk down a street in Saudi Arabia you'll get a quick education in what real intolerance is and our country will be a little bit safer from it 's greatest threat.
The utter stupidity of those in it and running it who refuse to believe what they see with their own eyes.
A few rotten apples did some peculiar things at Abu Grab, but "sexual abuse" ?
The yellow cake story is something that Wilson and the Dems got all wrong.
Even Bill Clinton and algore said that Saddam had WMDs.
Anyone even the least bit familiar with a flush toilet, knows that you can't flush a book down it.
You are the one with no credibility.
Try using facts, not your imagination.
Interesting read!
Oh ! You noticed that too.
An Iraqi Kurd bought a convenience store not far from me about 3 years ago and we have talked quite a bit. We've discussed every step thru the war and aftermath and even have gotten into religion. He's quite proud of the fact that Kurds aren't really true moose-limbs, but have kept a lot of their original Zorastran Religion.
He enjoys his booze and when the local imam tries to correct him, he more or less tells him to p*ss off. LOL

"Since THEY'RE the ones who attacked us, they're the ones who have commmitd acts of terrorism for decades."
Hey, that's right! It was Saddam Hussein and the Iraqis who attacked us. Thanks for reminding me. </sarcasm>
Wow.
Obviously you're a troll.
But hey, I guess you also didn't read this:

Oh well.
You see, Saddam was funding and training terrorists.
Hmm.
Interesting.
OOps, there goes your falacious argument!
Gang, meet "SausageDog" a most unusual troll.
He has these brilliant things to say:
"Except that how much credibility have we? Were not we the ones screaming about yellowcake and WMD's? Are we not the ones who sexually abused our prisoners? We should anyone not believe that we would flush a Koran down a toilet?"

"Is it just my imagination, or have we been doing most of the killing lately? "

"Gee whiz! What could we possibly have done to have gotten them pissed off? </sarcasm>"

How can you flush a decent sized book down a toilet? I mean do they have better flushers in GITMO than we have in the states?
Dunno.
Sausagedog should be able to come up with a good answer for that.. or at least what he thinks is a clever snappy comeback.
Like his tangential mention of Saddam and Iraq in post 50, which shows his agenda.
If they have better flushers in gitmo, I'm totally J! My low flow does good to handle 4 sheets of tp.
Yeah!
The toilet here is lucky if it can choke down COFFEE poured into it let alone 'book' style paper.
Yeah......might as well finish the job : )
Saddam?
Back to DU you go.
I HATE low flows!
