Neither is the Hindu extremist that burns his wife, or the white trash American that knocks his girlfriends teeth out; or the african tribes that enslave children for labor. Lotsa shit out there Teeny
See, the thing that I have noticed is that Hindu's have not spent decades kidnapping Americans. And African tribes and abusive white trash dudes have not been murdering Americans by the thousands since the seventies.
There is a difference, to me. I do understand that there is bad shit.
But as a whole, Muslim men between the ages of 17 and 40 have caused more damage, death and destruction to this country than any other single group. And for the U.S. to embrace Islam as some sort of wonderfully loving, peaceful religion may very well be a good strategy, but I do not have to play that card. I think it sucks, whether they are actively cutting tongues out and heads off at the moment or not.
I am not slamming Bush, the administration, or the WOT efforts, which you seem to think I am doing.
My point is that I do not trust any of them as far as I can throw them, and I cannot tell the good guys from the bad guys. If you can, then good for you.
I appreciate the assistance of the Iraqi soldiers, of Musharraf, and all of the others who have helped in this deal. But from most of them, it is far to little, and too duplicitous.
If I were to get on a plane with my children, and there was a ME guy who was supposed to board as well, I would not take the chance. Their track record since the year I was born has shown me that I am justified in suspecting them all. And that is their fault, not mine.
If muslims truly wanted to show the world that they mean well, they would get rid of the madrassas, they would get rid of the burkas, they would turn over the sympathizers in their midst, and they would do these things as a whole, not every now and then as individuals.
The religion teaches hatred and violence. That is all I need to know.
Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on September 11, 2001.
