Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:
* Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Christian school. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder teachers trying to teach Muslim children in Iraq. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage. * A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage. * Let's go way back. Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage. * Muslim newspapers publish anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage * Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage. * Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage. * Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish cartoons depicting Mohammed. Muslims are outraged.
Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.
Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. You don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.
I know and understand that these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. When, though, do they become outraged? When do they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical reflection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"
Indeed. Why not?
"With the exception of 'firing guns into the air', this sounds like many liberals, too."
We've been called on to wipeout fascism before and we can (and will) do it again...
Yeah, they were outraged alright, at the Americans and the Jews. As usual.
Yeah ... tell that to the Palestinians who recently voted to ... um ... er ... nevermind.
Hey -- I'm on your side!
OK -- I was a little over the edge. Please accept my apologies.
Dear ConservativeBamaFan,
"Hey -- I'm on your side!"
I understand. ;-)
Just trying to provide a few additional facts to help point out that the moral equivalence made by some between the two different situations is false.
sitetest
Because we ran from Viet Nam and turned on our own soldiers.
Because of Jimmy Carter.......who made us look like fools during the hostage crisis. (As soon as Reagan took over they released them.)
Because Bill Clinton and his co-president wife kissed up (literally when she kissed Sufa Arafat)to Muslim terrorists.
Because Bill Clinton fought them in court instead of on a battlefield.
Now that we have a REAL MAN and a COWBOY for president we have not been attacked. Instead they have hit Spain and England.
whadda bump!
You hit the nail on the head. Very well put.
Islam... the religion of pieces of innocent people blown to smithereens
I was venting- and it wasn't at you, but the imams quote.
Doesn't it make you want to spit nails? Doesn't it???
These people come out with blatantly retarded quotes like-
" ...we don't blame Christianity when a Christian kills his wife...why blame all Islam when a Muslim feels like a little honor killing?"
As if that is SO magnanimous of them!
There is NO comparison. A Christian who kills his wife does so against the laws of man AND God.He is a criminal.
A Muslim who offs his wife/daughter/sister does so in ACCORDANCE with the laws of his culture AND Islam.
The criminal/terrorist is an aberration in Christianity/Buddhism etc.
He is an obedient Muslim in Islam.
And he is a symptom of the greater problem. Islam, itself, produced him-as it is designed to do.
Islam/the Koran IS the black hole from which all this evil spills.
Christians who do evil disobey their religion and God.
Muslims who do evil obey their religion and Allah.
Exactly right! These people live in a state where they are looking to do the things in his list to start the piece.
I digress with him on notions that Islam has been "hijacked" by these people. It supports what these people have done and continue to do. The ones that have hijacked it are the ones that don't do violence.
It's a defunct and baseless religion devised by man. Allah is a mental machination, a false god.
They're outraged because it is part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged.
Yeah, no sense of humor. Publicly, I am with the classy State Dept comments.
Privately, Jihadist types, and thes dopo cartoon protesters have to be made aware that we think they are stupid.
We are laughing at you. You are stupid. We laugh, you too stupid.
That there burns em up good, it does.
"OK -- I was a little over the edge. Please accept my apologies. "
No need for apology. We both desire for Islam to vanish from the earth.
I wonder, though, how we can bomb them back to the Stone Age when it's clear that they are currently IN the Stone Age. Islime sucks and needs reform or removal.
Problem: How can we slaughter a billion people (the 'removal' tactic) and still call ourselves a Christian nation? (Not that I'd be bothered but you know what I mean)
Hypocrisy is amazing.
