Arab Fable: The Camel's Nose In The Tent
14 March 2007 | Self

Posted on 03/14/2007 5:20:23 AM PDT by COBOL2Java

The Camel's Nose In The Tent.

One cold night, as an Arab sat in his tent, a camel gently thrust his nose under the flap and looked in. "Master," he said, "let me put my nose in your tent. It's cold and stormy out here." "By all means," said the Arab, "and welcome" as he turned over and went to sleep.

A little later the Arab awoke to find that the camel had not only put his nose in the tent but his head and neck also. The camel, who had been turning his head from side to side, said, "I will take but little more room if I place my forelegs within the tent. It is difficult standing out here." "Yes, you may put your forelegs within," said the Arab, moving a little to make room, for the tent was small.

Finally, the camel said, "May I not stand wholly inside? I keep the tent open by standing as I do." "Yes, yes," said the Arab. "Come wholly inside. Perhaps it will be better for both of us." So the camel crowded in. The Arab with difficulty in the crowded quarters again went to sleep. When he woke up the next time, he was outside in the cold and the camel had the tent to himself.

We had a recent spate of news stories about Muslims "pushing the envelope" on our society:

I believe these are examples of Muslims attempting to follow the moral of the above fable. The question is, how soon before America pushes back - or are we going to find ourselves shivering outside the tent?

Lets expell all Muslims from the US, the sooner the better.

I think there WILL be a pushback eventually, and when it happens, it's not going to be pretty. Bush has been trying to keep the lid on this anger (i.e., "Islam is a Religion of Peace" BS).

I'm sure the double post was an accident, but it goes double for me. I've got friends who are Muslim, but maybe they can come back later on down the line.

Yes, it is sad to say, but we should start with those here who are violating our laws. Then work our way down the list, ther are about 6,000,000 of them here.

IMHO it will not be long before they also start pushing the limits.

All members of CAIR should go first.

This reminds me of my ridgeback. She'll sneak up on to the end of the bed, curled in on herself like a danish. But hours later she's sprawled out like a horse whose been shot, pushing both of us off of our respective sides.

I wouldn't go quite that far. I know of some good, patriotic Americans who also happen to be Muslim. Most are nowhere near strict or radical in their beliefs. They allow their daughters to go to school in typical American clothing, hang out with friends of all creeds, etc.

They are strict when it comes to diet and avoiding alcohol, but that's really about it.

Yes, I think they will start pushing as the 6 Imans are doing. It is time to move them out of the country and let them live with the sand fleas.

Your common sense has no place in today's Two Minute Hate.

Yes, and who can forget the Muslim Sgt that threw the granade into the tent killing those soldiers.

DO NOT LET THEM ON ANY AIRLINES, LET THEM CREATE THEIR OWN AIRLINE.

I think the radical Muslims are deliberately trying to tear our society apart from within. They delight in the expressions of anger and outrage evidenced by even some postings in FreeRepublic. When we go the route of "Let's just expel them all!" I'm afraid we're playing right into their hands.

"Eventually" may be too late. We as a nation have a tendency to wait until the deck is stacked against us. In the past, we have overcome the odds and prevailed (as in WW2, Korea until the politicians "stalemated" the war), but I don't put much faith in today's crop of young people to get motivated to fight the good fight...especially when they'll actually have to break a sweat. Takes time away from X-Box, ya know.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

No it is not time to schuck this whole freedom of religion thing.

The tenents of the Koran are very easy to understand all one must do is read the goal of the religion to understand where the followers are headed.

To make it to heaven all they must do is kill one of us, just one.

Their prophet was a pedophile, which means the religion is invented by a sick and twisted mind.

As each Muslim works to be a better Muslim, it leads them to insanity, and it is a death cult.

I think today's young generation may surprise you. My daughter joined the Army after 9/11, and my grandson's father is a Marine who has already been deployed twice to Iraq. There are slackers out there, but there are also some damn fine kids.

Well, if their religion says "to kill all of us" I would say yep; that part i s against our basic laws. Therefore, they can forget about coming over here and blowing us up AGAIN!
